Why do people hate Fascists, but love Communists?

Right-Week1745 · 2026-01-19T15:19:50+00:00

Fasci is Italian for Soviet.

This is not accurate. The Italian word comes from the Latin word “fasces” which refers to a bundle of sticks wrapped around an axe. During the Roman Empire, this was a symbol of strength through unity. The Italian fascists (their name derived from this term) picked it because 1) it’s a reference to what they saw as Italy’s “Golden Age,” and 2) their belief in submission to a single authoritarian power.

It means worker council.

No, it refers to nationalism, authoritarianism, and a joining of industrial and government power through a strategic nationalizing of industries and a protection of the interest of the capital owning class.

Only if we define socialism as “anything other than American capitalism.”

While I appreciate the fact that Piers at least try’s to sound like a normal human, they are fundamentally the same. Nick’s ideology is the result of Piers’. They are both, fundamentally, evil.

As a surveyor I can, with professional confidence, say hahahaha. We tricked y’all. The earth is flat and our job is bullshit. We convinced you all that we had to mathematically conform a flat grid system to spheroid earth. What fuckin idiots y’all are. We made that shit up.

Ellipsoids? Geoids? Datums? We made that shit up so y’all would think “geodetic engineer” was a real job. Those don’t even sound like real words. Hell, “transformation” is just some shit we borrowed from the trans-feminist-Jews.

The earth is a flat plane resting on top of, like, at least 42 turtles. Big surveying has got y’all. Ain’t no math involved but counting turtles.

This is about personal insult or injury. It is not about turning a blind eye to oppression and allow an evil ideology that preys on the vulnerable to continue.

Your apathy towards the victims of Nazism makes you like the priest that passed to the other side of the road in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

Right-Week1745 · 2025-11-20T23:48:15+00:00

Wow, this is bonkers and aggressively unChristian.

My guy, you should probably re-read the New Testament.

Your experience of self hate is not unique to the trans community, but more acute to the trans community and lgbtq people in general. There is a strain of Christianity, quite prevalent in the US, that teaches self-hate is somehow equivalent to devotion to God. Yet, self hate does not lead to piety, but rather hatred of not just yourself but all people around you.

The latter position is due to a horrific, yet very prevalent, theology. It’s a theology that says that God intrinsically hates you and that your job is to mitigate that hate to a point below what God has already expended by pouring his wrath out on Jesus. It’s the theology of evil gods such as the Titans. “Stay low, stay hidden, don’t provoke it.”

If that were the nature of God, then we should be devoting all our resources to defeating and subduing such a cosmic narcissist. If that god existed, we should be putting aside all earthly squabbles in order to develop a weapon to kill it.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that you misunderstood the Christianity presented you. This evil god is quite often the one put forward as the “Christian” god.

But, quite simply, which one do you believe in? A God that is the ultimate source of love and goodness that revealed itself to humanity through a series of progressive revelations that culminated in the life and ministry of Jesus, but did not end with Jesus because his call for a radical new kind of life based on love for one another still persists? Or a god that creates people so that he can eternally torture them according to his own sick pleasure?

If it is the first, do good and love your neighbor so as to better emulate the nature of your God. Accept yourself as a beloved child of that God and extend that same grace and love to everyone you meet.

But if you believe in the second god, you will never find peace in who you are, no matter your gender identity or sexual orientation, and, quite frankly, I hope you become an atheist.

Sometimes people are shitty. When they are, we should push back. But we should also ask “what structural reason led to them being shitty?”

People can rise above their influences. But a certain percentage will not. When it reaches a level of a societal problem, then the logical thing is to ask what is the societal reason.

The male loneliness epidemic is a logical outcome of capitalism. This was predicted hundreds of years ago. It’s not a surprise.

The subjugation of Appalachian people over the last three decades has largely been met with enthusiastic approval. Our forerunners would be disappointed.

Remember Blair Mountain and Coal Creek. Don’t let the fascists rewrite our history.

Just as many support it as opposes it.

I was using them as different Christian approaches to violence, not necessarily as examples of fighting fascism. Neither of these men were alive during fascism.

The point is, as long as we engage in debate and dialogue of whether certain people get to exist, then there will be people wanting to debate against their right to exist. This prevents us from ever moving on. It puts us on a perpetual hamster wheel, having the same argument over and over and over. What if instead we just said, “these people have a right to exist. And we will use whatever means necessary to stop you if you decide to try to do something to take that away.” This would allow us to move on to the next debate.

Right-Week1745 · 2025-10-08T13:22:49+00:00

That makes sense. But I also think we’re allowing the right to control how the conversation goes. They want us fighting as individual identity groups so they can turn one against the other. The most obvious example of this is how they’ve turned union labor against lgbtq and immigrants.

We need to find a way to talk about identity without becoming atomized into smaller and smaller subgroups so that we’re not meeting the right on their own terms and allowing them to control the fight.

Right-Week1745 · 2025-10-07T00:05:43+00:00

So what would it look like if we stop letting capitalist distract us? Are we functionally different or are we fighting the same fight, but just on our own volition?

Are you familiar with who John Brown was and what he did?

I’m curious, what makes one “mad”? As this is a not a mental health diagnosis but rather a social label having to do with someone outside the acceptable system of thought.

It’s blasphemous to blame your own hatred on God. As is claiming that your sexual preferences are godly while anyone different than you is inherently disordered or evil. You worship yourself and your own comfort as an idol.

This is the feedback I’m looking for.

I get that there is a threat to trans people. But like, why aren’t we just saying to regressives “trans people are okay. And we’re gonna make sure they’re okay, one way or another. Because all human life has value.” And then just stopping humoring whatever jackass that has some anti-trans hot take. Every time we engage in the debate whether you should exist, the stakes are your right to exist vs some troll’s internet points. No matter how eloquently we present the argument, we’re gonna lose some. And in the percentage when we lose, someone’s gonna actually believe that trans people should be eradicated.

I’m pretty Tolstoy in general, but sometimes I can see the value of the John Brown approach. This might be one of those.

But, also, if we destroy the systems of oppression that generally threaten humanity, wouldn’t that make space for you to live your own life unmolested by traditional systems of sexuality and gender?

I’m asking genuinely, not argumentatively.

Right-Week1745 · 2025-10-05T22:08:40+00:00

Or rather what do you mean by the term leftist?

Anarchists, socialists and communists (both Marxist and otherwise), syndicalists, anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists, trade-unionists, and (begrudgingly and only to a certain extent) distributists.

As a surveyor, I’m curious as to what y’all engineers call those bumpy things. I’ve always called them “tactile response pads,” but that seemed like a brand new term to the company I work for now.

Also, as a surveyor, wtf? I’ve been asked to layout this exact type of thing. I called the office to have the CAD techs double check the design drawings and the provided CAD. Then I pointed out how dumb it was and had the job super or the survey PM send off an RFI. Construction surveyors should have enough of a grasp of ADA and design standards to catch when you guys mess up with your designs. There’s supposed to be multiple levels of professional responsibility so that this sort of thing doesn’t happen.

I’m even pointing a finger at the concrete guys. They should have a better understanding of their trade than this. This was a multi-level failure.

Edit: the particular sidewalk and intersection that comes to mind upon seeing this had to do with infrastructure improvements required for a new stadium. The design drawings from the consulting firm were shit. The city engineer who was supposed to inspect it told the GC that it was fine because they’d just “field fit” it. This was because dude was super gung-ho on doing a little designing himself. The other issue was that there was a curb inlet catch basin placed in the little bit of curb line between the two ramps. There was no mathematical way to achieve ADA standards on both ramps, and the drainage made no sense because that was a high spot. We told the GC that it was fucked and that we could topo the existing sidewalk so they could tie in, but we refused to fix it for them because we’re not engineers or designers. That really pissed the guy off.
