There is hardly anything liberal about tolerating explicitly anti-liberal/anti-democratic forces.

That's... the most liberal thing imaginable.

heartbreaking

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

I think the most liberal thing imaginable is a universalisation of property rights (of a particular cultural pedigree) and a fetishisation of markets (unless inconvenient to those with lots of property).

You forgot about the key factors of claiming credit for any social progress accomplished by socialists and acting really smug about it

holy shit am I tired of 'free speech absolutists' showing up to defend Nazis and literally nobody else

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 years ago

Turns out when you are a free speech absolutist who defends communists just as much you might just end up one yourself.

Couldn't be me :^)

"First they came for the Nazis" LOLZ

[-] Lochat@hexbear.net 43 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Neoliberals know they're next on the Nazi spectrum so it does make sense they'd be concerned once Nazis are targeted.

I mean, statistically the closest thing you can get to sending people to labor camps based on race is doing it by the socioeconomic status you were born into, and that's their idea of utopia.

i actually don't support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn't defeated by the government banning it, it's defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)

all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community

we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway

[-] Tachanka@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago

they don't need a legal mandate to oppress the left. blow up every nazi statue with public money.

I bet some of these people will do a quick 180 if it came to something related to the Taliban or ISIS, since I don't think I ever saw a liberal defend someone right to like, I dunno wave the taliban flag or something? but it also just really shows how much they love nazis

[-] dRLY@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

The lame-ass libs in the comments checks out, but I also looked at the article and it gets bizarre. Feel free to correct me if I am misunderstanding. But the fascists might have been showing up to support the event that was "gatecrashed". As the person giving the speech and the event itself seem to have been anti-trans anyway. But the TERFs get completely glossed-over and the lawmakers are pissed about the hateful fascists only. "These laws are part of our unwavering commitment to challenge antisemitism and hatred whenever it occurs." Just an amazing level of contradictions being shown by liberals/conservative-liberals.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
