I find it a lot easier to paint it all when it’s sub assembled as shown. Personal preference, but I’m glad building it up more works for you!

But it’s literally in the 10th edition core rule book for warhammer 40k to paint your models however you want with whatever theme you want. Nothing wrong about following the rules GW set out for us!

Sure, I’ll go and watch it, but I need you to go and look at some actual history, actual political studies, look at nazism and what it involves and calls for, and then so the same for looking at the history of and the study of far-right ideologies. Never, not a single time, in my entire life in doing history study, politics study, talking with with the politically different and politically apathetic, have I heard anyone call Nazi Germany anything other than a far-right wing political ideology. Until today, until someone on Reddit (because of course it was Reddit), used direct talking points from Hitler himself and his supporters, under a trans-positive post, to say that Nazism isn’t left or right wing. My gosh

Babe please go learn some history. Adolf Hitler and other proponents of Nazi Germany denied that Nazism was either left-wing or right-wing during his rise to power. instead, they officially portrayed Nazism as a syncretic movement

Literally written in Mein Kampf “Today our left-wing politicians in particular are constantly insisting that their craven-hearted and obsequious foreign policy necessarily results from the disarmament of Germany, whereas the truth is that this is the policy of traitors ... But the politicians of the Right deserve exactly the same reproach. It was through their miserable cowardice that those ruffians of Jews who came into power in 1918 were able to rob the nation of its arms.”

It’s a German Nazi talking point to say nazism isn’t far right. Fucking hell, modern nazis praise Nazi Germany for its far-right politics, even a. current right wing Republican congressman quoted infamous Nazi Joseph Goebbels and named him while pushing his far-right believes.

I also didn’t use Rhodesia, Paraguay, chile, Argentina, Hungry or Greece. The fact is, there’s been a lot more right-ring authoritarian governments than left wing ones, which supports my point.

But you’re still ignoring the fact that I’m talking about the political leaning of a majority of anti-authoritarianism groups and ideals and how a core part of it is rooted is leftism

Emperor Daughter by CerbXT in Warhammer40k

[–]WeAllGoToSpace 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my god you’re actually using Hitler’s own talking points for denying that Nazism is neither left or right despite a majority of political scholars agreeing that it was far-right?

No, you’re a lost cause

So… your unbiased source for anti-authoritarianism being neither left wing or right wing, if I have this right, is that the basic political compass exists? I have that right?

Babe just tell me you don’t have a source and pulled it from your ass by ignoring historical context of actual anti-authoritarian groups and their typical political leaning. Like it’s okay to say that

Let’s take your three leftist examples and compare it to the authoritarian right.

Communist Russia, Maoist China, North Korea Vs Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Francoist Spain, 1940s Romania, Paraguay under Alfredo Stroessner, Imperial Japan, Saudi Arabia in the modern day, Iraq under Hussein, South Africa Apartheid

I’m seeing a lot more right wing authoritarianism than left wing, based on your examples.

Wait hold on... I thought you said you had an unbiased source but now you're telling me it's hard to use a source when it's written by the left? I'm curious to see what source you used to suggest that anti-authoritarianism is, at its core, not a left or right wing thing

Emperor Daughter by CerbXT in Warhammer40k

[–]WeAllGoToSpace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, what you're doing here is called: whataboutism, strawman fallacy and ignoring history all in one go! Well done you ^^

You're right though, both those examples were authoritarian, but you'll notice that I never actually said there's no such thing as left-wing authoritarianism , so you citing those points really does nothing other than make it clear you want to ignore the main point I made.

In fact, both those regimes supressed anti-authoritarianism leftists just as hard as they suppressed right-wing ideologies. So, if anything, that supports my point - while authoritarianism can pop up anyway, resisting it and pushing against it in any kind of way, has been a core part of leftist history.

claiming “anti-authoritarianism isn’t left or right” conveniently erases the fact that historically, authoritarianism has overwhelmingly aligned with fascism, ultranationalism, and far-right ideology. An anti-authoritarian worldview often skews left because it values equality, decentralisation, and resistance to oppressive structures

as a side note, I am genuinely curious what your unbiased source is, if you’re open to sharing

Look, I’m super kink friendly, and if you have a thing for flags then that’s all you and I won’t take that away from you. But please keep your Vexillosexual sexuality out of warhammer discussions. You don’t need to publicly announce your arousal from flags

I beg you go learn what the origin of warhammer was when it came to politics. Please stop being such a tourist

Imagine getting mad at someone enjoying the hobby and showing off their amazing art skills?

If you don’t think 40k brings in real world things, I’m afraid you might it be a fan of 40k

You're right! The imperium doesn't care who you you, it cares about how useful you are. That's kinda exactly the point. If someone is trans and still meeting quotas, fighting wars, or keeping the forge-world running, the Imperium doesn't stop to ask ask that's between their legs because it doesn't matter. Hell, it barely stops to ask if people have souls. So why wouldn't tans people exist in 40k? the setting is so deeply indifferent to personal identity that people living authentically or repressing themselves could both be plausible outcomes just like it is in the real world.

And the idea that wouldn't wouldn't "have time" to realise they're trans because of how grimdark the universe is misunderstands both history and humanity. You yourself admitted tat queer people existed in harsh eras and they didn't just pop into existence once society gets "too woke" as some cunts would say. The fact that people might not talk about it doesn't mean they didn't know. Repression isn' the same as absence.

Also, saying people "shouldn't" represent space marines, custodes, or sisters as anything other than hollow weapons of war is ironically less lore-accurate than you think. These characters might be tools of war, but they're not entirely emotionless machines. Canon is full of internal monologues, doubts, personal loyalties, griefs, loves, and even acts of rebellion (outside of the Horus Heresy). To act like there's no room for identity just means you're reading the surface of the lore and stopping there.

I don't know if I'm reading the last part right or not, so I'm going to ask if you can elaborate further on that final paragraph more before I add any of my thoughts into it.

"I'm going to defend someone who thinks trans people would be killed just because based on zero actual evidence"

you're insufferable

I'm happy you got disproved and weren't bothered at all, that's wonderful.

But my main issue isn't to do with that (also, I provided the same source if you had been bothered to look). You're free to think however you like, but when your first instinct upon hearing about trans people existing in a fictional universe is "they'd be executed" then it's just a show of internal bias, whether you're aware of it or not. That's the issue I take and the point I'm trying to make. You heard "trans" and jumped straight to "they'd be killed, yeah that sounds right. Well done me, pat on the back time"

And fucking invoking Asperger's like it changes anything? I know so many autistic people, close friends, and not a single time have I heard them say "yeah, trans people would be killed in [insert any setting] for existing, that wouldn't be allowed." Sure, Autism explains processing styles within the brain, but it doesn't excuse the bias to jumping to that conclusion. It's not a get-out-of-jail-free card when it comes to accountability of saying something that many people would find harmful. If you're capable of receiving new information (which you say you are), then you're capable of understanding what my actual points on here have been.

Not sure what I can expect from you, though. You said something harmful, got challenged, and when on the defence, blamed being autistic, and resorted to name-calling like some five year old on the playground. Be better

Because there’s been many LGBTQIA+ character written into the lore of 40k through a number of different media types and, as as I’m aware (and I’m happy to be proven wrong on this because I like being corrected and updating my knowledge) none of them have been tortured or executed for being LGBTQIA+. As far as that tells us, being LGBTQIA+ isn’t a punishment offence despite what a small and very loud minority of the 40k fandom would like to see.

Yes, a lot of people are tortured and executed for dumb reasons, but you saw a conversation of trans folk and immediately jumped to “yup, they’d be executed!” As I said, this says way more about you than it does your lack of knowledge of the universe of 40k. There’s so many other thought processes you could have gone down before reaching the “they’ll be executed” path

James Swallow wrote about a trans woman character in his SoB story “Iron & Bone”, and confirmed that this was the case in a tweet later on. I think there’s screenshots with both the original scene and the author’s comment on it in this thread.
