Context: Admiral Patrick replied and included this gem:

And might I add that not one person complained until db0 went internet Karen with his hissy fit because I took his toy away from him.

"Not one person complained about my explicitly obfuscated blacklists! Damn internet Karens making a big deal!"

They also specifically stated they do not support transphobia

Maybe the truth is more nuanced than someone you hate is a fascist

    You do realize by virtue of having a blahaj account, admiral considers you one of these violent extremist leftists he shadowbans, right? You're literally going to bat for your own oppressor right now.

    Fascists won't consider you one of the "good ones" no matter how much you defend them, just some food for thought.

    I disagree with the actions of the person discussed, but i am not going to call them fascist because of something that maybe possibly kinda could make them transphobic, but has multiple possible explanations

    A transphobic fascist wouldnt mention that they prohibit transphobia, at best "forget" to mention it

    Not everything that is bad is fascist

    Completely agree. There's plenty of issues everywhere, but they're not all fascist and fascism isn't the cause of every issue. To ascribe everything to fascism is simultaneously boiling things down to black and white thinking and dilutes the meaning of fascism.

    I dunno, seems like ‘but I have a black friend’ or ‘I’m not racist but…’ energy, if they’re dumb enough to think blahaj of all places is a terrorist organization…

    There exist other reason they could consider blahaj bad

    Not good reasons though

    If there are no good reasons to block it, then what was your point?

    That calling everyone a fascist is counterproductive because not everyone is as evil as one

    I mean, the rest of us can't help it if they're expressing fascist ideologies. We just call it when we see it.

    But they arent expressing fascist ideologies. Fascism is more than censorship

    “More than” would imply it’s still included. So you can’t call someone out for being fascist unless they go through the whole damn playbook?

    But those characteristics are not unique to facism

    If you find a combination of characteristics that is unique to fascism, then it is fascism, until then its just badly extrapolating incomplete data

    Lol, keep pushing that goal post, boot licker. Ok, he's fascist-adjacent. Does that make you feel better?

    Would a democratic ruler be adjacent to a fascist because fascist rulers are rulers too?

    Is requesting using basic logic moving the goalpost? Do you even know what boot licker means?

  • At this point I’m just assuming you’re one of Patrick’s alts. I can’t figure out why anyone would want to defend this shitstain of a dev who actively tried to suppress content and speech that didn’t align with his perfect ideal of what the internet should be - you know, fascist shit.

    And I’m the least of people who are saying the twat’s a fascist. Not seeing anything in your comment history that says you’re dying on this hill against anyone else. Go annoy someone else with your fucking apologia.
