If you support free speech, you must support people pinging other users. It's completely legal speech. If you won't defend pinging as free speech because you or someone else finds it disgusting, then no speech that you or anyone else views as disgusting is safe.

if it is in fact on shaky legal ground it's reasonable to not want to be the case that establishes it as illegal.

It's not, The reddit admins are straight up lying to the ignorant (like yourself) to justify their prejudice. Pinging being protected speech has long since been estabilished, as it has undeniable artistic merit. The only time it's been included under any obscenity laws is when someone is being charged with possession of harassment, so the state can slap them with more charges. The courts have been very careful to not charge anyone for pinging, because they'd get their asses fucking annihilated by a higher court due to the firm precedence of pinging being completely legal speech. /r/Drama had nothing to worry about, this guy was just making shit up to fool people into thinking his censoring wasn't entirely personally motivated.

Imagine celebrating the death of children

yeah wishing death on innocents doesn't make you sound like a fascist or anything

And these people wonder why when shit hits the fan people side with the fash lol

NGL, if fascists would just drop the retarded Elder Scrolls race larping, admit that Hitler was a monster, and stop pandering to boomer populists by sabotaging the EU ... Basically, if fascists would get rid of fascism’s defining traits, I might find them sorta tempting.

why tho? if you take all of that away, i dont know what fascism has left other than being degenerates pozzing each other while executing other degenerates who didnt join the movement in time

Because they’ll at least get rid of the other degenerates.

Race larping and the related memes are the best part though

Actually yeah. That'd be pretty cool. Corporatist economic models ftw.

Let's play "drama has no idea what the term fascist means" for the 30th time.

Didn’t you try and say fascism was a set of emotions. You should listen to the automoderated msg big rig

It's literally a set of emotional traits/national mood, not a hard doctrine.

Updoots on the pasta from me, you really need to work on a new shtick. Actually come to think of it, this meme gets leftoids and rightoids to seethe. I can support that sort of centrism!

I like how you have no idea what you're talking about and when actual academic work is used to prove you an idiot this is your cope attempt.

It's literally a set of emotional traits/national mood, not a hard doctrine.

And wishing death on rich people's children is a manifestation of a hard doctrine, basic economic reasoning really, and doesn't make someone sound like a fascist.

This is just called standard political extremism. Not fascism.

Well, yeah, political extremists check like half of the boxes for fascism, that's why they sound like fascists.

You are yet to learn that getting off about your favorite subject in barely related threads more often than not results in you looking very silly. The bot is convinced that you have a severe learning disability, so idk how this will pan out.

Well, yeah, political extremists generally check like half of the boxes for fascism, that's why they sound like fascists.

No, they do not. Extremists tend to subscribe to a specific doctrine. Fascists have no doctrine other than the underlying emotional traits, the hyper-nationlism.

There are very large differences between fascism and regular political extremism.

No, they do not. Extremists tend to subscribe to a specific doctrine.

Yeah, and also check like half of the same boxes as fascists: a good vs evil fight, impossibility of compromise, fanatical devotion to one's tribe, oppression narrative, readiness to violence, to name a few.

"Those tankies sound like fascists" doesn't mean that the speaker thinks that those tankies are in fact fascists, just that they sound the same as fascists do in several important aspects. You currently sound like an autistic person, but that's not because you're actually autistic, it's because you succumbed to temptation to toot your own horn in an unrelated thread and organically can't take the L.

A) this was absolutely related. Someone invoked fascism.

B) There's a difference between Stalinism and fascism.

good vs evil fight

This is standard politics, not fascism. Even moderates view politics this way.

impossibility of compromise

Same as above. This is something even moderates do, it's not specific to fascism or extremism.

fanatical devotion to one's tribe

See above, again, basic human tribalism does not fascism make.

oppression narrative,

This is a trait of fascism, but only in context of a nation, a people. Fascism is about national victim narratives, Darwinian struggle.

readiness to violence

This is a trait of fascism, but it requires a bit more. A thrill has to be present, a great enjoyment in political violence.

"Those tankies sound like fascists" doesn't mean that the speaker thinks that those tankies are in fact fascists, just that they sound the same as fascists do in several important aspects.

I don't think they sound like fascists. Just idiots and political extremists.

B) There's a difference between Stalinism and fascism.

Do you understand the subtle difference between "Pizza sounds like he is an autist" and "Pizza sounds similar to autists"? The former claims a set membership/subset relationship, the latter claims a nonempty set intersection between Pizza's traits and autistic traits.

Which of those two kinds of assertions saying "yeah wishing death on innocents doesn't make you sound like a fascist or anything" about a den of tankies do you think was intended to be?

When you claim someone sounds like a fascist you're attempting to invoke the horror of fascism to lend credibility to the things you are saying.

If someone walks up to you and says "wow, you sound like a nazi" what exactly do you think the implicattion is there?

When you claim someone sounds like a fascist you're attempting to invoke the horror of fascism to lend credibility to the things you are saying.

Yeah, but there's a valid way of doing this: when you say that tankies seem to check like half of the bad traits of fascists. It would be wrong to make it seem that they are exactly as bad as fascists then, but there's a recoverable perfectly kosher interpretation that they are just half as bad as fascists, that's pretty bad.

Also, that's different from trying to liken some group to fascists using nonsalient traits or whatever you tried to imply the gal was doing.

I think you're being very generous with the "half as bad" argument. When someone walks up and uses nazism in that context, would you be as generous?

If someone started saying "hey, those guys sound like nazis" would you not see that as an attempt to label them nazi?

Yes, because it's a more likely interpretation in case of simple set membership. The assertion that tankies are a subset of nazis (or, contravariantly, that nazi beliefs are a subset of tankie beliefs, I think?) is ridiculous enough on its face that a more charitable interpretation of significant set intersection should be preferred, in my superior and well-informed opinion.

I'd be more willing to agree if the terms "fascist" and "nazi" weren't so liberally used to smear political opponents or people you disagree with.

Maybe I'm wrong, your reading of what he said was different than mine.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant by bringing up your favorite topic in a tangentially related thread.

Can you just admit that I'm the first person on this subreddit that you lost an argument fair and square to?

Then I'll instantly make a metapost about that, which would make me look very good but you not too shabby either, being a second-best debater of /r/Drama commands respect. Then a lot of people will claim that they beat you too, which you will have a lot of fun refuting.

I didn't say you won the argument. There's a difference between saying someone makes valid points that are well reasoned and you can't refute with hard proof and saying "you win."

I'm more than willing to grant someone a "agree to disagree, I don't take issue with your points but I don't really view this the same way as you."

OK, there's an easy way to settle that, you can go and ask her personally what did she mean by that. In a way that can distinguish between the relevant possibilities, like, "do you think that that thread made LSC posters seem like they were itching to gas the jews?" or "... invade neighboring countries" or stuff like that. In short -- if it implied fascist traits outside the intersection we both agree exists.

That would be to be assume people like that are honest about their intentions.

What do you know about ecofascism? Because I really care deeply about nature but I want to use the government to punish hipster rock-stackers, white trash hunters and littering Chinese tourists.

"ecofascism" is primarily a slur used by conservatives against the environmental movement.

I've never even seen it seriously discussed tbh.

"true" ecofascism wouldn't be different from regular fascism.

Oh I disagree. I have never seen a fascist regime publicly beat a 25 year old hipster for stacking rocks on the banks of a river and doing a yoga pose in front of it. I'd argue that's perfectly compatible with modern Western democracy.

I think our understandings of fascism are different. Beating someone up isn't fascism unless other requirements are met.

The term "eco-fascist" has roots in Nazi Germany, for example.

What I mean is the Federal government should be beating these people publicly. I'd also include a proviso in the eventual law that would allow us to confiscate the camera equipment of the previously mentioned Chinese tourists to sell on Amazon to defray the prosecution costs.

You'll find no disagreement from me.

Serious posting 🤢

pizza time

Missing a few zeros.

Not sure what does that have to do with fascism but ok.

The only common link between, uh, Nazi Germany, and that faggot who should just be executed is "Schadenfreude", and that's only because that word might look like it's German, to some retards at least, nothing else.

Let's be real, me saying this makes me more of a fascist than him.

Nice boomer take

This meme was made by commie retard gang

Is coal even magnetic?

zoz

zle

zozzle

I have been blessed. 🙏

lmao

No.

Most things are diamagnetic, and so is coal.

Things that are magnetic, generally have iron in them, Neodymium magnets are made from alloy - neodymium, and iron is part of it.

Though that's not necessarily true, Hemoglobyn, that's in our blood, is diamagnetic, which is why it's safe for us to be near strong magnets.

And I can't say I'm saddened by the death of a coal industry heiress and the other children of monsters they hang around with even if you were being truthful.

They're like edgy 13 year olds from the early 2000's but they're influenced by communism instead of death note and sasuke

the daughters friends were decidedly middle to upper middle class teenagers attending one of the cheapest colleges in the country

I'd prefer death note fags tbh

smh we need more sasuke-posting

I'm not a weeb so I don't know what that is.

The edgy weebs were way better.

I bet they are largely late teens early 20's white male edge lords who have no life experiences.

LSC: “ I hope he suffered “

LSC: Your post was removed because it contained a transmisic term. You should receive a message from the automoderator telling you the exact term the post was removed for. For more information, see this link. Avoiding slurs takes little effort, and asking us to get rid of the filter rather than making that minimum effort is a good way to get banned. Do not attempt to circumvent the filter with creative spelling; circumventing the filter will result in a permaban.

Wtf is tranmisic?

"mis" means hatred (misanthrope, misogyny, etc). Probably a retarded response to the retarded take "I'm not transphobic, they don't scare me, they disgust me."

No, they banned people saying "-phobic" because it's phobia-phobic, i.e., offensive to people with phobias

I wish I was kidding

😐

And I wish telling trannies to kill themselves didn't get me suspended.

Can't have nice things, I know.

Cope.

Are you ok

Who hurt u

Those people hurt everyone what do "trannies" hurt

Idiot

How the fuck is that thread still up, with the comments still up

If you're worth more than 1¢, you deserve to die tbh.

yeah i knew a few of the daughters friends, not the daughter or the guy himself, and seeing the /r/news thread yesterday after reading the friends' moms' facebook posts made me want to take a blowtorch to reddit's servers.

truly, unironically, SEETHING

I think we should give them a break on this one, helicopter rides made commies nervous.

They were fearing their life.

The perfidious helicopters have switched allegiance to the lefties.

Now usually I'm anti Billionares but I've seen the reactions of this guys death from people actually living in West Virginia and they unanimously praise this guy. Commies sperging out again.

There are some people here literally living in third world conditions. Anytime somebody came by and graced the area with jobs they're considered a hero, it's why a fat fuck like Jim Justice got elected governor. Literally all the ridiculously poor people in the southern part of WV want is a job. Sorry for the seething I just despise commies. Also my white privilege is probably blinding me from seeing the good in the death of a few people.

I'm thrilled the coal mining billionaire died [...] and the spoiled kids he raised.

>tfw you have so much socialist empathy and kindness that you jizz your undies when small children die
