    we can hate nazis while also being capable of communication past the hypersimplified binaries that are actively useful for nazis.

    So why are you being useful to Nazis by speaking up and having a hypothetical discourse and being a running dog for Nazism? Sometimes it’s just better to not say anything as an antifascist and seeing Nazis show themselves (only Nazis would get triggered/baited to comment on a meme like this)

    social peacock thing that has kneecapped progressive/leftist groups

    Interesting lingo you use there hitler-detector

    Have you dipshit considered that fash seeing no “social peacock” might let them think they’re in good company as they’re unopposed? You think calling out “virtues signaling” is a good counter that fash have? Why are you doing this for them?

      and being a running dog for Nazism

      at literally no point was i being “a running dog for nazism” and repeatedly i showed how this exact failing was useful for the current fascist movement.

      "Interesting lingo you use there "

      how can i phrase it without setting off your imaginary dog whistles? also i get these concepts from… anti-fascist academics.

      i do agree that it’s important to flag nazis as bad, and socially reify that, but also that we need to be able to point out when the more clever nazis get the stupidest portion of progressives to socialize that other progressive groups are the real nazis, and that even trying to discuss the matter is an admission of guilt.

      the original comment i was discussing a bout was talking about the FRAMING.

      like saying “right thing for the wrong reasons.” which is important, because sometimes failing to distinguish helps the nazis.

      this is the part about blue curtains, but you have not yet actually noticed the point we are making beyond your simpler interpretation of what is being said.

      as a progressive and a leftist, i find this exhausting, because the inability for people to comprehend words past the social signalling is directly responsible for much of the recent fascist success.

      but let’s keep ignoring all of that, because academics are mean for saying we have to think about context sometimes.
