I did think that they were trying to have a good faith conversation until they claimed to not understand a common word used in a common way with a ton of context around it as to how it was being used in this case. I mean, come on here, if you're arguing that the mod of the nerd game forum does not know a few different contexts of the word "adjacent" I am going to give you one hell of a side-eye.


e: even with the world's biggest benefit of the doubt, if Beer had somehow gone their whole life without hearing "adjacent" used that way, maybe the whole Greek chorus of people calling Aba out for needlessly stirring poo poo could have been a tip?

TBH the issue is probably more with the word "fascism". It's not particularly strongly defined and when you do try to nail it down you end up with questions like "were the Nazis actually fascists". Not in a way that absolves them of anything, but more in the sense that there wasn't a particularly coherent political philosophy underpinning it all. When you say fascism adjacent do you just mean people that are on the outskirts of the style over substance racial superiority stuff?

I like you beer. You seem like a good egg who's trying his best to listen.

I have no good opinion on banning this guy. But making him posting in the fash thread again a banable offensive seems good to me. He didn't add anything to the thread.

Yeah, I think this is basically where I sit.
