listening and there's a lot of :words: about their various adventures. it's kind of interesting in that spencer loves the opposition to him (attention) and it definitely comes across as him chasing an adrenaline rush. 'and then i had police escort me into the building! that never happened before! wow!' that kind of thing.

spencer's wet dream is somebody trying to assassinate him.

they talk so much about so-called "virtue signalling" on the left because they are projecting. This is an example of them "virtue signalling" aka performative masculinity.

whole lotta cis folx in this thread trying to tell me what i have to accept like they have some kind of moral authority. my life is already unsafe. please don't act like it's unreasonable of me to distrust tactics that have the potential to make things way worse.

i hear what you're saying. but you clearly don't understand where i'm coming from and knee-jerk dismissal of anyone who doesn't agree that all tactics are acceptable against nazis fuckin sucks.

edit: to clarify, i'm not saying that outing a trans nazi or a gay homophobe is necessarily wrong, but it's not necessarily right either. poo poo's complicated and pretending it's actually simple isn't helpful

Fascists are fair game for tactics that I wouldn't use anywhere else. And you could say, "poo poo man, that's one hell of a slippery slope" but I would counter by saying that we have Nazis marching through our streets and the president is an open racist. The slope already done slipped.

it's cool that we can replace "punch" with "out" and "Richard Spencer" with "styx" and re-tread the same arguments that gave D&D conniptions last year

Styx getting outed, or having been outed, or whatever, is not going to give some bigot permission to out people. It's not going to set Nazis on some eye-for-an-eye track. They're already trying to out people anyway. The bottom of the slippery slope we're hand-wringing about is already happening.

you shouldnt out anyone, thats somewhat rude.

i dont care who ya gently caress or the mechanism via which said loving is accomplished.

but nazis should be punched, as the prophecy says and i believe that is a non-gendered issue. well cept in like france or some country with gendered words.

cis folk aren't the only people making that argument though. I am trans and I have been pretty consistent in my "this is a fight to the death against opponents who are serious about their intentions no matter how incompetent they are" for quite some time now. I also have a pretty fair amount of insight both into the kinds of assholes who make up the Alt-Reich as well as the sociopaths who are manipulating them for their own ends.

There is no morality to be had in this fight anymore. That is the simple truth of a fight to the death against Nazi's. Its a contest of intent and competence now- morality and ideals are gonna have to sit this one out.

It sucks that this Styx person is hanging out with fascists despite being some sort of crossdresser or transsexual, but ultimately it's their responsibility to realize that they are aiding and supporting people who will kill them once a fascist state is implemented, and whatever ill comes to them (most likel just getting yelled at and made fun of by other fascists) because of this is on them. And ultimately outting fascists causes their movement to fracture and weaken, so why not do it?

Claiming the fight against nazism somehow approves special measures and throws morality out the window is reprehensible, sorry. I'm a big fan of your project, but I'm not going to normalize trans/homophobic harassment because the fight against fascism somehow requires it( it doesn't).

See my post about prefigurative tactics above. The end of a struggle will always be characterized by the means used during said struggle - so, accepting outing others to be harassed for it will remain after the nazis are gone, and that's not a net gain for society.

im going to write that one off as a moral flexibility, the one thing i learned when you start justifying your own behavior with reasoning or whatever is that you start warping your own narrative. i dont want to do that over outing some stupid nazi who just as fine should just be punched with the rest of em.

using the tools of the enemy is completely one thing but adopting the methodology is a complete different thing.

nobody on this site is outing Styx, spreading the pictures around, advocating a campaign of harassment or any combination of the above. they are merely commenting that transphobia is rife among the alt right and any trans person associating with the alt right is putting themself in danger and should think long and hard about their associations.

the few rl gay friends i have are pretty much in agreement that the only ethical outing is when you out people that want to do harm to the gay community because gently caress those people

though according to fox news nazis were all gay and hitler was like a ssj gay

:thunk:

:e

harassing them for being gay is wrong though since there is nothing wrong with that
