This is fascinating. Your comments come across as very combative and angry, while most responses read and feel calm, if defensive, and often trying to process a point with other facts or claims. I want to ask why you don’t shift how you say things and support your arguments? I shit you not, most of us on the not-fascist side don’t mind listening to alternative views and perspectives. They just need to be laid out in a way that also doesn’t make us feel as if we need to go on the defensive. That’s conversation. It’ll get us all somewhere rather than drawing lines just to draw them.
Honestly a lot of it is just that I have barely treated anger issues and I’m going through drug withdrawals. That’s not an excuse to be an asshole on the internet, I’m just really struggling to not throw my phone against the wall, let alone write a measured reply to people who think I’m worse than a trump voter.
It doesn’t help that whenever I bring up not really liking biden or being on the fence about voting for him, a bunch of smug liberals come out to tell me I’m a nazi for not voting for someone barely left of reagan who p much never opposes republicans or corporations. Even under good circumstances I don’t take well to being called a Nazi, so I go on the offensive.
I’m also open to having my mind changed, and even voting for biden if it turns out he’s better than I thought. It still seems like the logical choice to try and outlast culture war conservatives, though I’m really really starting to doubt whether democrats will ever stop going right, which makes voting for them feel like keeping the valve closed on a boiler that’s about to explode. I’d love to hear how Dark Brandon is actually the best president since Jesus, but I haven’t seen any indication he’s better than any other right wing neolib
