fascism 

reading a bunch of nazi apologia is probably A+ for my mental health</sarcasm>

god why is "nazis are bad" so fucking controversial these days

us politics re: fascism 

@lambdagrrl for at least as long as I've been paying attention (past twenty years or so), it has been a point of constantly-repeated political dogma in the United States that freedom of speech for every marginalized group will be cut off if we allow it to even be possible to deny free speech to Nazis - and I mean specifically Nazis. Nazis are the example every maintainer of this principle cites as "we gotta let them talk or the government will just silence everyone they disagree with".

Which, I think, makes centrists even more willing to defend Nazis being publicly Nazis the moment the Nazis manage to start mainstreaming themselves.

@packbat yeah, my outsider perspective is that US free speech discourse is kinda fucked

(my personal philosophy is "speech acts are no different to other sorts of act and thus can be good or bad just like anything else")

re: us politics re: fascism 

@lambdagrrl your outsider perspective is definitely accurate

(also, your personal philosophy)
