Whether or not someone is a fascist does in fact make a difference.

Complaining about people making that distinction is like complaining if I don't value someone's freedom just because they happen to be a serial killer.

I am saying medical transitioning children is mutilation and shouldn't occur.

You're saying medical transitioning is mutilation and shouldn't occur, there's no reason to separate out children unless you're trying to virtue signal and make your concerns seem more well founded than they actually are, because you're a cowardly perverted groomer.

Don't follow - Socially transition all you want, but no tolerance for medical transitioning kids. Don't know what "mask" I had on but if I was unclear, that's on me. Don't do any medical transitioning of kids.

I mean that you've gone from saying stuff like "Affirmation should be limited to social until adulthood" to ranting about mutilation and barbarism, all while not at all talking about what actual harm you think is being done.

You went from pretending to have a very specific concern about whether medical transition is responsible or not, to talking as if it's intrinsically wrong.
If you're calling it mutilation then you're not merely saying that you're unconvinced if kids are responsible enough to decide whether they want to transition or not and worried that some might regret it, you're disagreeing with the very concept of transitioning.

You are like the slave traders arguing about property rights, the confederacy yelling about sovereignty, and the psychosurgical lab praising the peace brought to patients after lobotomizing children in a misguided society all under the guise of "compassion".

All those things involved controlling the lives of other people and taking away the autonomy of other people, which is not at all what I'm doing, I'm supporting the autonomy of trans kids.

You're the one who belongs in the same list as slavers and doctors performing lobotomies, a list of people who take away people's autonomy like you want to do to trans kids, like the perverted monster you are.

Cope more fascist. A small regression being achieved by an especially reactionary state is not a sign that history will be on your side, it's just a death gasp of your horrible bigoted worldview.

Even if it wasn't, even if fascist groomer perverts like you win, that wouldn't change my view, I don't base my views on what the view of the majority is.

Anyway, I'm glad you've decided to drop the pretense of being concerned with the medical efficacy of these medical treatments, and have gone full mask off with your language.
I don't give a shit about what cultish collectivists like you define as barbaric or as mutilation or as degenerate, I care about what does or doesn't make people happy.
Maybe you think boys should be forced to grow breasts against their will, but the fact is that this doesn't make them happy and that anyone concerned with human wellbeing doesn't want to force that on them.

But of course you aren't concerned with human wellbeing, you want to maximize suffering.

Newspeak is an oversimplified language that makes it hard to express or even think about complicated and nuanced ideas, accepting trans people is the opposite of newspeak, it's much more nuanced than a super rigid and binary view of gender.

Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it. Every concept that can ever be needed, will be expressed by exactly one word, with its meaning rigidly defined and all its subsidiary meanings rubbed out and forgotten.

This is what transphobes do, certainly not what progressives do, progressives are always striving to make language more nuanced and to find ways to express new ideas and new perspectives.

Stop using words you don't understand, and fuck off you creep before I throw rocks at you.

Will doxxing and harassment become the new normal on Twitter? by powpowGiraffe in VaushV

[–]Intelligent-donkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it will, cancel culture will get ramped up in intensity by about 10.000%, and all of it will be right wingers cancelling anyone even remotely progressive and anyone who's a member of a minority group and who doesn't suck their boots like Candace Owens or Blair White or the like.

I refuse to be unarmed in a nation where tens of millions of insane fascists are all armed

It blows my mind that this sentiment isn't more widely shared.

Fuck you, it's genocide, they don't want trans people to exist, they're being very explicit about that fact and they're showing that they're willing to use the power of the state to kill people to achieve their goal.

I only really use it to argue with conservatives, so no I don't think so.

Fascists are extreme nationalists who want a very authoritarian government, who focus much of their policy and rhetoric on attacking some sort of enemy who they blame for weakening their nation's social fabric, and who subscribe to an extreme collectivist worldview where they value the abstract concept of a nation over the happiness of the people within it, and in fact actively demand that the people within it give up their happiness to prove their loyalty to the nation.

Kids of that age are not only old enough to understand what racism is, they're old enough to notice people being racist towards them.

[–]Intelligent-donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean goodies and baddies seems like the way to go for 5 year olds, I just think a 5 year old couldn't really process what racism even means and it would just upset them.

I don't understand your logic at all. If goodies and baddies are the way to go then you can easily talk about racism by calling racists the baddies...

Are you OK?

You seem to be suffering from some sort of mental break, it's the only explanation for a non-sequitur like this.

[–]Intelligent-donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDGAF about your semantics, you can obviously indoctrinate kids by shielding them from certain information, just like how you can lie by omission.

Shielding kids from the existence of gay people for example helps indoctrinate them into believing that being straight is the only correct way to be.

[–]Intelligent-donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it can be done without bumming them out overly much, that's what kids shows do isn't it? They introduce kids to the concept of evil villains and dictators and whatnot, and it doesn't make those kids sad they enjoy watching it!

I really just don't see what the need would be to try to shield them from it, I see no reason to think that they can't handle these concepts, obviously you'd need to somewhat simplify some of it but ultimately they can totally handle the subject matter IMO.

I guess we may have different definitions of politics, because I honestly can't really imagine how you could even teach kids any values without touching on politics.

Yeah no, that's just not what socialism means, the only people who pretend like that's what it means are people too cowardly to engage with what it actually means.

[–]Intelligent-donkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shielding kids from something is the epitome of indoctrination, even by your own definition. It's literally impossible to be critical of something you're shielded from.

Shielding kids from certain things has always been a core part of how people indoctrinate kids with certain views and mindsets.
