I gotta tell you I will take the whole furry/alternative/LGBTQ++ scene over LinkedIn absolutely any day of any week of any year of my entire life. For one thing the opsec is far far better.

Light Mode this, Dark Mode that… not enough people are implementing Windows 3.1 Hotdog Stand Mode.

@skyfire747 what an awful interpretation. you act like the teacher is completely abstracted in this metaphor, but the danger is not just "the rumor," it's the rumor spreader. in this story it's the teacher, today it's fascists spreading xenophobia, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. and back in salem it was the leaders of the witch trials.

if you knew anything about the history of the witch trials this would be glaringly obvious. the women designated as witches weren't arbitrary targets, randomly chosen to sow distrust, they were any women deemed too powerful, community leaders. the witch trials were a violent enforcement of patriarchy, so that the men leading the witch trials could claim more power.

rumor spreaders materially benefit from spreading rumors, they garner power through this mechanism. and i'm sorry to inform you but today's fascists aren't bipartisan, they're all on the right.

the notion that the only proper way to defeat fascism is through "debating" them rests entirely on the idea that whatever fascists assert is assumed to be true unless proven otherwise.

marginalized ppl like me are constantly asked to endlessly jump through hoops to simply be allowed to exist, let alone allowed any rights.

it is never asked of a fascist to prove why their fascism is justifiable or rational first.

and it can never be justifiable. because right-wing politics rests on ideas that, when you adhere to them, only serve to make other people suffer at the expense of whoever stands behind them.

but yet liberals and centrists still pretend as if those people are just "people with a different viewpoint" as though we all are arguing pizza toppings and not whether or not people like me get to live to see tomorrow

Without checking, name the band behind Tubthumping, Enough is Enough, Mouthful of Shit etc.

Please reboost for sample size.
