Depends on where the dönertier was raised.

I, for one, hope for new and better REEVs

Anon lost everything in the mameluk uprising

Likewise. And it is. It's just that pizzacake is one of them.

...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.

Sorry, buddy. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make you drink.

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!

The comic that kicked it off, linked at the top, yes. I don't know what your threshold for "obvious" or "much more offensive" is, but the rest of the links are people who obviously found it objectionable, as well as her (and the mod's) reaction to having objections.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's linked in the thread.

If your intention is to do the Ben Shapiro "prove to my criterion" thing, I'm not interested.

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.

...Really? I mean, sure, it's not like it's obscure. She even make a damage control faux-apology about it when it looked like people were turning on her. Unironically saying "I don't hate men at all. I have a son! Lol" was a particularly memorable response.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (16 children)

The reverse, actually. Back on reddit, she made a comic about her sexually harassing men, the joke being "haha, this never happens". She was then informed that this does, in fact, very much happen, and reacted... badly. The comments blew up, and it ended with the mods nuking the thread and banning everyone who criticised her. It left a very bad taste in people's mouths.

As you may imagine, the fact that every time she's criticised here the default response is "oh, you just hate her for being a woman" isn't exactly helping. If anything, all the comments jumping straight to "fuck you you will die alone" are actively making it worse.

 

"The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, in the words of a protagonist in one of his novels, described our responsibility in this way: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”"
