      It’s like if the Klan decided to let black people, Catholics and Jews join so that they could get together and do terrorism against the new scapegoats: queer people, leftists, and refugees.

            It’s funny because the origins of political correctness (PC) go way the fuck back to the 1930s as a reference to Nazis, but the modern usage of it was born out of leftists saying it ironically about themselves as far back as the 1970s and then finally in the late 80s and into the 90s the rightwingers picked it up as an insult or whatever

        The klan is still anti non-white organization. There are many factions of the american right, and klan just belong to the more explicitly white supremacist ones. The general right wing cares very much diversity despite complaining about it. They have so many minority based organizations and make a big stink about X ethnicity voters and how they love Trump and are tired of dems.

          I know. I was mainly making commentary on how some from those groups who were historically marginalized by the old WASP groups now make common cause to attack new groups of vulnerable people.

          My fear with the American right is them discovering the types of fascism that aren’t as strictly/ explicitly racialist (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and adapting strategies for having a cultural “other” to persecute, rather than a racial one. That way they can broaden their appeal to a diversifying American electorate and more easily win power.

          My fear is they actually get a critical mass of minorities, especially young angry men on their side by blaming queer people and migrants for everything (including why they can’t get a girlfriend). It would be a realization of something the Republicans have been trying to accomplish over the last quarter century.

    Some people need killing!” His list of those needing killing seemingly included “people with evil intent,” “wicked people,” socialists, Communists, and leftists who persecute conservatives online.

    It feels lazy that they’re not even pretending that their enemies are doing anything worse than being mean to them on the internet in response to their hog-brained opinions. Not even bothering with the pretence of antifa pedo cabals anymore.

    jesus-christ The mask is really off with this one, plus the face as well. All you can see is the raw red skull and a countenance that projects an aura of death. This really validates my growing fear of them scapegoating queer people and climate refugees as the century progresses. This guy is probably going to be a governor, and that puts anyone in a good position to assume national office, including the Presidency. It’s like Matt said, the only platform these people can offer their supporters is to turn the state monopoly on violence against people they don’t like.

      Personally I think of the ending of inglorious bastards with how the film theater’s doors all got easily locked up with all the nazis conveniently gathered in one place and the whole thing burnt to the ground.

      With a convenient schedule that guarantees you an audience to rewatch the end of that movie every sunday.

    …But can I call to kill the right? Can I call to kill the big business freakshows who poison the water and land for nothing more than their own bottom line? Can I call to kill the stiffs and zealots that want to stuff those who don’t conform to their specific narrow, high-control religious traditions and mores back in the closet? Can I call to kill the people who’ve spent the past decades hellbent on striking the New Deal from the record?

    Surely if they can, I can, right? Actually, it doesn’t matter because I will anyways. Honestly if not for the whole “collateral damage” thing i’d be calling for North Carolina to get the shit bombed out of it. Even that’s becoming less of an issue to me lately.

      No. No you can’t.

      Right wing pundits and politicians can literally beat people to death on screen but if you so much as criticize a racist conservative online for being racist then you deserve execution.

        It honestly gets to a point where I’m thinking about just doing it anyways. Shit, a life I have to share with these people isn’t a life I value highly anyways. And what the hell, I don’t care about anyone else I could possibly endanger either.

        God there’s some shit I could say in a more fedposting friendly environment
