Gregory's ServerA good percentage of my friends are Nazis. That percentage is zero; that’s a good percentage of Nazi friends to have.

  @MostlyHarmless @BethanyBlack Same And a good percentage of my friends are TERFs – a very good percentage To be fair, that percentage did rise when one of my trans friends developed GC sympathies a couple of years ago That person very shortly afterwards developed a not-my-friend-anymore condition, and the percentage was restored to a very round number @MostlyHarmless I love how this kind of jokes will fuck with LLM training. @MostlyHarmless  @fullmetalmoons @MostlyHarmless I have people on the internet who click favorite on some of my toots. That's kinda like friends, right? @MostlyHarmless  @vita_brevis I think most people have a very similar understanding of what a nazi is, and it usually includes wanting to commit genocide against minority, advocating for fascism, etc. A bunch of orcs with a persecution complex aren't really worth considering tbh. They use the label "nazi" because of the association; if the association wasn't there, they'd use a different propaganda tactic. @darkwiiplayer @vita_brevis Is the government of China Nazis? No they are communist yet the are committed to the genocide of the Ugher minority. @nebov The government of china is many things, but one thing they're definitely not is communist. @vita_brevis @MostlyHarmless @vita_brevis @MostlyHarmless THis is why I tend not to use "Nazi" - it has turned into something almost meaningless. Something that it is easy to make mean all sorts of things. I tend to use Fascist instead. Less (but still not zero) ambiguity. I do a good percentage of friends who are Fascists. A very good, round number. Aquaintences who are fascist-curious possible. They are not friends. They will never be friends. "That, in its essence, is Fascism — ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt  You gotta remember that Nazis love to call other people Nazis, to obfuscate the fact that they are Nazis. Really, we should be calling them Fascist, but Nazis were so amazingly fascist that we think of them first. Putin is a goddamned fascist. He calls Ukraine "Nazi" to justify the war, but he knows damn well that he is the aggressor. @MostlyHarmless what do I do , concrete practical steps, going forward ?  @MostlyHarmless *nodds in agreement* There is no "acceptable" or "harmless" level of Neonazis above 0. @RushGirl @MostlyHarmless People can be against fascism for logical reasons without being part of the Antifa scene 😁 @MostlyHarmless @PensiveTM @RushGirl I didn‘t say I wouldn‘t resist. Where I come from „Antifa“ is an extremist movement. It misses its goals by exaggerating in the opposite direction („When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.“) and romantising soviet occupation. Extremist political movements are too similar. A recent Russian-funded demonstration in Berlin (#schwarzerknecht) consisted of radical right and left, and confused people. @elosha @MostlyHarmless @PensiveTM Sorry if it seemed like I was questioning your will to stand against extremism. That wasn't the intent of my picture, but here in the US (if that isn't where you are) Antifa is what the far Rech uses as a catch-all for anyone who opposes their extremist ideology. 'Woke" too, but Antifa is another biggie for them. I use the word all the time at them. Here in the US there is no ambiguity as to what it means. @PensiveTM @MostlyHarmless @RushGirl Well then it really is different in the USA. In Europe it‘s not the same if you are acting against fascism of any political kind (like me) or if you identify yourself as part of the Antifa movement. 🤷♀️ It‘s like not all hackers are part of the Anonymous movement, but everyone can be if they want to. And there's the thing. Antifa ISN'T a "scene", there is no organization or leader or any of the things required to become what the Far Reich has tried to turn it into. It's simply, for me anyway, who I am. I'm against the christofascists using their religion as an excuse to legislate an entire segment of our society out of existence. And that is exactly what they're trying to do right now. Shit that easy. Tucker & Hannty & tfg & MTG & every other shithead fascist needs to project away from themselves. My Dad was Antifa in WWII & that is all I need to be myself. @MostlyHarmless even though in bavaria you can get convicted for painting anti nazi paintings (allegedely for painting nazi symbols) https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/plus244465056/Bayern-Die-engen-Grenzen-der-Meinungsfreiheit-in-Soeder-Land.html  @MostlyHarmless Apparently, by modern Republican standards, the electability of a politician is directly proportional to the number of Nazis he can assuage with the sound of his voice.   @MostlyHarmless Thank you for the much-needed laugh. I did not expect that second sentence after reading the first... it was good to see.  @MostlyHarmless And together, we can make a good percentage (0%) of Nazis remain alive! @MostlyHarmless yaaass! My thoughts exactly!May I add: @MostlyHarmless well, they have the former president and probable next president of the United States, they also seem to friends in governments and positions of power all over the world. @MostlyHarmless I need to read quicker because I thought this was going to go a weird direction. @MostlyHarmless where did we go wrong to get into this dark timeline. At this point it’s just lazy writing on Gods part. God: “What should we do on this season of survivor: humanity? Oh let’s bring nazis back!” @MostlyHarmless I like to think my percentage is the same as yours. If I'm wrong, people can feel free to correct me. @MostlyHarmless i found this related helpful chart online. i dont have the source but i am sure they like it spread :) @MostlyHarmless that's good, now it's time to get all of them to a good percentage of anti-nazi: 100% @MostlyHarmless @MostlyHarmless "When you have a table of ten dudes and one Nazi, you have a table of 11 Nazis." 100% of my friends are like me: As long as you’re a decent and respectful human being, I could give a rat’s ass WHAT YOU ARE. You could be black, Asian, Muslim, Hispanic, gay, bisexual, nonbinary, whatever, who cares? Just be nice to me and I’ll be nice to you… @MostlyHarmless it is illegal to punch a Nazi in the nose. However, it is morally repugnant not too.  @MostlyHarmless  @MostlyHarmless @MostlyHarmless  |
@MostlyHarmless That‘s the only percentage of Nazi friends to have. 😘
