It's starting to look like Merrick Garland wanted Trump dead when he ordered the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago for those classified docs back in August of 2022.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I’m not sure if he’s a supremacist, more likely a racial separatist/“race realist”. Wouldn’t be shocked if he’s racist, but yeah #TheProtocolsOfTheEldersOfZion is quite the deep cut, and his alt-right views are probably the only way he even knows what that is (I only know what that is when I started researching the origins of the #Israel v. #Palestine conflict and it came up as I was skimming #Wikipedia)
I don’t either! I do try to understand them though. They walk among us, after all.
> How the fuck is a “racial separatist” not a racist?
They’re still racist; the difference is that a white supremacist thinks that white people are better than other people, and racial separatists think that all races are equal, but should be segregated from each other.
Funny how you’re more charitable to this white supremicist’s views than you are for anyone to your left.
Last time we were having a discussion you misrepresented my views with every reply, but you’ve really dialed in the various flavors of racist, because those nuances are so important to understand.
Conservatives will ally with racists and fascists before they compromise with a lib.
> > Conservatives will ally with racists and fascists before they compromise with a lib.
Part of me wonders if I’m even a #Conservative anymore. I hate big government and a lot of them don’t, and the #MAGA people are pretty embarrassing to boot.
Fair enough; Conservatism is pretty broad so it can be as libertarian as it can be fascist.
I care too much about supporting small government and principles over people to want to associate too closely with the modern right, who I feel is increasingly okay with authoritarianism (look at their support of #DeSantis for example)
Notably, they don’t ban the guy who hosts a blog with articles titled things like Being White: The
Gradual Epiphany of a True Believer and thinks the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a true conspiracy.
I’ve been banned for some pretty stupid shit, but this guy is welcome. That should tell you everything you need to know about this community.
But I’m a freedom of speech homie so I wouldn’t complain about it too much; if the speech offends you, you should be able to block or mute him yourself on your end.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I guess we’ll see. It’s very possible that it’s a free speech community and they won’t ban him, which is fine. He doesn’t need to be banned.

I don’t make excuses for white supremicists.
Guess you do.

Gotta love how this community puts the full depravity of conservatism on display for everyone.

This is an interesting take. You must not know me very well.
Have you seen my political commentary blacklist of bad faith actors? It’s mostly people on the right.

Conservatism is a philosophy, not a party. We are realists, the Left are anti-realists.

That’s kind of a childish way to view things.
@realcaseyrollins @LookBehindYouNowAndThen
I disagree; egalitarianism is an anti-realist philosophy.
@amerika @LookBehindYouNowAndThen Examining political spheres of thought, I’ve been wondering if I’m not closer to #ConservativeLiberalism than #Conservatism itself.

Nobody cares.
Fuck off, racist POS.

In any case, his alt right views don’t exactly map to this conversation, so I’ll allow it for now.
If lemmy.world wants to ban him, they probably can, but he’s on annihilation.social, which is a different instance entirely.
The mods have the power to ban anyone.
Notably, they don’t ban the guy who hosts a blog with articles titled things like Being White: The Gradual Epiphany of a True Believer and thinks the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a true conspiracy.
I’ve been banned for some pretty stupid shit, but this guy is welcome. That should tell you everything you need to know about this community.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen Report it to the mods. I’m on #Mastodon and I think he’s on #Pleroma, so there’s nothing I can do.
But I’m a freedom of speech homie so I wouldn’t complain about it too much; if the speech offends you, you should be able to block or mute him yourself on your end.
I have reported them.
The mods only care about banning people who make conservatives face reality.
They’re not going to ban this chode because they want him for a user.
@LookBehindYouNowAndThen I guess we’ll see. It’s very possible that it’s a free speech community and they won’t ban him, which is fine. He doesn’t need to be banned.
