Yea, the left are huge hypocrites. Even though they use the term they get really mad when conservatives do it.

Like arresting whistleblowers and investing in the military industrial complex supporting the patriot act and white supremmist western exceptionalism and transferring wealth to the 1% and using terms like based.

[magnetaress]

i like the term based and i'm a borg enthusiast

[Reiwa]

I think the left's problem with it is two dissonant offspring having the same unmodified root, 'basic' and 'based'(bas).

I'm told they have different and nearly opposite meanings in modern vulgar English.

And that's wrong.

It annoys anyone who isn't a fucking moron. Almost as bad as cuck.

It's like sus, vibe, etc and all the stupid shit my youngest kids say when they're talking to their friends.

If you learned your "cool" words on the internet you're a fucking loser. Hope that helps.

Remember back in the day when the cool internet words were 1337 (leet) and pwned?

Then there was a lot of u mad?, scene, and come at me bro

Then snowflake, cuck, poggers, the fascination with the stupid frog character that never ended

From there…scuffed, cringe, cope/seethe/copium, drip (style), but I don’t follow enough twitch or tik tok to keep current these days

But yea I was always semi-plugged into the lingo, usually pretty reluctantly because I get sick of shit fairly quickly, and it all gets overused

[Ooloo]

Based means you don't care what people think of you, as already pointed out. It originated with lil b.

The left doesn't like it because their opinions on literally everything are utterly uncontroversial to essentially every mainstream institution. People say being a traditional right wing conservative is the "new punk rock" because it is. Not saying I'm happy about it, but the left has completely lost the right to say they are raging against anything.

Hth.

[Basanos]

Saying that will never make it true. Stomping your feet in a $1000 suit and tie and screaming that you are, in fact, the new punk rock is so tremendously not how counterculture works. If you don't believe me, feel free to try it at a protest. Or a college conservative speech. Just have an exit strategy.

As usual, you're mistaking neoliberal democrats for leftists.

Nice no true scottsman, comrade!

Sorry, I must have not noticed that 99% of every major cultural institution is dominated by DEI training and pearl clutching about misgendering.

For a fringe minority, they sure do have a lot of influence!

If you get banned from twitter for saying something as pedestrian as men aren't women, yes you are now the new counterculture.

[Basanos]

Haha. Feel free to go try it. No conservative will ever be counterculture, you guys exist to protect the status quo. I dom't need to be an authority on culture to know this. Go forth into young people spaces and blast a Ben Shapiro podcast on your boombox, doofus.

Also, debate club terms, lol. You don't abide by those and you know it.

Yes they're both evil and two sides of the same mirror. Not sure why you're calling out one side when there are clearly misguided retards on both sides.

You should take your own advice, Smoofers. It's the conservatives who have a growing fascism problem, not the liberals. My critique of liberalism is frequent, but not specific. My critique of conservatism is frequent, and sometimes specific.

Consider this explanation a courtesy.

[Patrece]

Based angers them because it means you're ignoring the manufactured cultural oppression (saying fat chicks are gross etc), the exact opposite of what they want

These people have some kind of mental disease as there's no way it is a difference of sane opinion

The far sides of both political parties are pro-facism, the only difference is semantics, in terms of what they want to shut down

For the left it’s things they consider hateful/hate speech, which if applied broadly enough can be quite a lot of stuff

For the right it’s things they consider deviant/indecent, which if applied broadly enough can be quite a lot of stuff

For example, if the far left had complete control, they could do what the UK does and make it illegal to misgender someone online, etc. If the far right got complete control, they could try to ban gay marriage and completely ban pornography, etc

The methods are the same, the goals are what differ

[Smoofers]

Political buzzwords aside, if you can't see the marketing and cultural brainwashing in both sides being pitted against the other then you also can't see that you're just a pawn in the true fascism that you and I live under right now. It's the man holding the mirror, not the slack jawed idiots climbing the gates of the capitol building then standing around without any idea of what to do next.

I'd tell you to open your eyes but it's clear your mind is already set in stone. It's too late for you.

The far reaches of the left are explicitly opposed to fascism, and no, they are not perfect in this. No mass movement is ever perfect.

The far reaches of the right actually wield political power. Unlike the left. Free speech warriors from the right are suspiciously selective about which battles they fight.

The right is a few years from outright exterminating trans people, then they'll go after gay people. What terms are acceptable or not are semantics.

It's a ballot box > soap box > ammo box.

[Basanos]

Smoofers seems desperate to paint me as some kind of billionaire supporter. A novel approach, but easy to shrug off.

[unsunghero]

You're talking about speech, I am talking about power. The fact that there are consequences for saying the N word in 2022 is not fascism, Romans stabbed each other to death in the street over political disagreements

Yes but we’re talking, at least I hope we are, about what’s actually practical to occur in this country

If you think that we could have a Hitler-Esque level of fascism, then I suggest you get your AR ready because that’s exactly the same line of thought that conservatives have that the entire US military could be turned on them by our gov’t at some point and genocide them, and they need military-grade weapons to prevent that reality

When most likely what would happen if the military was told to begin mowing down civilians is they would defect

[Basanos]

I think our emergent fascism will be far worse than the German one, in the long run. I think it has learned to disguise itself as freedom. I feel the same way about the military, I am doubtful most of them want to kill their own countrymen.

It's paramilitaries and militias, in addition to police officers, that I believe will do the bulk of the killing to come.

Desperately hope I am wrong as shit, for reasons I am no longer permitted to explain. My family is exceptionally vulnerable.

[Smoofers]

Basanos, I'd like to present you with a dilemna, and I'd like you to answer. I challenge you to actually choose an answer, and not hem and haw your way around it like a pussy.

Dilemma: You are a town mayor, and have been notified by the federal government and your governor that you must accept 5,000 Afghani refugees. These are old-school rural Afghanis, for whom non-consensual sex with small boys is not only legal, but considered a cornerstone of their culture if not a human right. However, they absolutely refuse to part with this aspect of their culture, and tell you directly that they will pursue non-consensual sex with small boys in your town. Do you:

- Allow them to maintain their cultural status quo, thereby condemning a number of local children to traumatizing sexual assault resulting in massive generational trauma.

- Force them to abide by the laws of your land, thereby stomping on their culture and rights.

Awaiting your answer.

[Basanos]

I will happily stomp on the "culture and rights" of any rapist.

[Smoofers]

Congratulations, you're a fascist. You forcefully take away the rights of someone, someone for whom these rights are not only self-apparent but moral. And you do so from the point of view of your own arbitrary morality. And it's arbitrary because, as should be obvious, if they consider rape OK then there is no absolute moral compass in the world.

[Ooloo]

The evil right wing fascists who want the populace to all be armed and to be able to say whatever they want sure are super-duper fascists, right guys?

To take a page from Besanos' book; it doesn't matter how many times you say it, nobody is gonna believe that obvious nonsense.

[Basanos]

Congratulations, you've discovered cultural relativism. The definition of fascism has now expanded to every single judge, jury, and law in the world. If you think that's a gotcha, wait until you discover anarchy.

Speaking of halloween, when I was in 4th grade there was a big snow storm on halloween exactly at the height of the trick-or-treating where I was dressed up as sub zero from mortal kombat, with a huge sack full of candy and tons of amazing snow falling, and then the next day school was cancelled cause of the snow so I got to eat candy and play super metroid all day.

I think I peaked with that... I've never been that happy for 48hrs straight ever again.
