Might help also to describe what you think feminism is, since it’s one of those terms that is overloaded.
I once had a physical therapist tell me she wasn’t a feminist because she thought women couldn’t be as physically capable as men when serving as soldiers, and seemed to believe feminism requires treating women exactly like men.
I told her I was a feminist because I believe in equal rights for men and women, an idea she did not seem so opposed to.
But certainly the most relevant quality he had was his rabid, genocidal antisemitism, right?
You wouldn’t complain about him being labeled as a eugenicist just because he painted a little when he wasn’t slaughtering millions.
I don’t mix things. I admire Hitler for being a vegan and pursuing art. I absolutely hate what he did with concentration camps.
Relavant depends on the thing we talk about. If we are talking about history, he isn’t winning any Peace or Humanitarian awards.
“What he did with concentration camps”
vs
“Vegan”
You’re not beating the allegations here.
What do you mean?
You don’t seem to have a problem with the use of labels when it comes to dietary choices, im not sure why you’d go to such lengths to avoid calling Hitler a eugenicist. You even used passive language by saying ‘what he did with concentration camps’ instead of stating plainly that he ‘exterminated 6 million jews’ in them.
You are just proving my point that people get hostile if you use or don’t use some category specific words.
He killed Jews. It is not a fucking secret.
Well yeah, but I didn’t say there are only 2 possible diets - carnivore or vegan. There is a shit ton of diets in between - vegetarian, omnivore, eggetarian, pescatarian, etc. You have this messed up mindset that anyone who is not xyz has to be abc, never lmn or def.
I haven’t excluded him as being vegan, I’m just not going out of my way to avoid calling him an antisemitic eugenicist. Just because the label sounds mean doesn’t make the label false.
Sexism is expressed in a lot of different ways, and some are more harmful than others. It doesn’t make the label inaccurate simply because it hurts your feelings. You can be a lot of other things in addition to being sexist, too.
