    Wow and people are still like “Never forget!!!” to bring this up? The comic is clearly satire and even funnier with the reaction.

    Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting example of a different kind of brainrot - promoting and reinforcing victimhood in young men which ultimately helped the rise of inceldom and neo-fascism.

      They are. And they will continue to be, until people learn to stop dismissing them, or at least learn to stop poking the proverbial bear. Until then, you can expect every pizzacake thread to turn into a capsule speedrun of how “the left” lost men.

          Yeah, you’re right. I’m sure the winning move is to close ranks and never give an inch to anyone on anything ever. After all, it’s been working great so far!

            Standard Anti-Fascist strategy is to deny fascists a platform. Fascist speech is fascist recruitment. And obviously no, you can’t compromise with fascism, that’s the tolerance paradox.

              …See, the thing I notice here is, I made the outlandish standard of “never give an inch to anyone”, and you jump to “compromise with fascism”, as if your operating idea of the world assumes everyone is either already on board with your program, or a fascist. This, to put it mildly, sounds like it could cause problems with getting others to support your causes.

              Now, if this were the original formulation of the paradox of tolerance concept this wouldn’t matter, because it was proposed as a way to protect an already open, tolerant society from fascist subversion, and assumes the “you” to be, in fact, everyone but the fascists, and the fascists to be an insignificant fringe group that the “you” doesn’t need, and can, essentially, bully into silence. The fact that your example in this thread is “now they lost the right to have a safe abortion”, I get the feeling that isn’t exactly the case.
