This movie made me want never to smile again, just for the fashion alone (sorry, poor joke).

It’s one of the most historically-accurate movies I’ve ever seen, and it makes me feel so bad for my ancestors.

Like, christ, life absolutely sucked and yet the colonists didn’t have it hard enough.

(e: look at the fashion in the movie though. It’s spot on. A masterclass in movie costuming, and that feels like an undersale. Just phenomenal dressing of this movie from every angle.
Dialogue too.)

Try to find your analogue in this world. Who would you be?

Sorry: The Witch

Great movie, if you haven’t seen it.

I may have put them off by being too aggressive. I’m pretty annoyed at this point, but if someone is engaging, maybe I should dial it back?

The fuck has anything in this thread had to do with bigotry? Bigotry against what? Software? Hockey?

Or do you just call everything that offends you ‘bigotry’?

Sigh, okay, I’ll try it again.

Like I do every time there’s a huge update. Will this time be different? I hate Adobe, but the Gimp has yet to live up to its promise to replace it. I’d love to never give Adobe another cent, but we’ll see.

Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years. This is not a surprise. I was linking to articles – both here on Lemmy and back in the day on Reddit – pointing this out years ago, and especially before the election when the talk was about both candidates being the same on Gaza. Trump/Kushner’s plan was full speed genocide so they could turn Gaza into a Trump-based resort.

I haven’t, and I’ll have a look at those, thanks!

I could curl up with that movie and a warm blanket if I had the flu. I wouldn’t necessarily choose it, but I wouldn’t resist it, either.

Many family movies also work. Plus Scooby doo for some reason.

Something something sparkling conservatism.

Yeah, we can see that’s what you’re in. Thanks for acknowledging it.

The word ‘pussy’ as a pejorative predates its use as a slang for female genitalia. It actually originates from ‘pussycat’, as comparing a person to a jumpy and easily scared feline. Any misogyny attached to it is extremely recent and performative.

Man, you’re all over this thread not knowing what words mean.

It’s not misogynistic, but this one does have that root:

Stop being a cunt. (And I say that as a woman.)

Being Jewish isn’t a shield against being ignorant, ffs.

Nobody is making assumptions here but you.

Your comments have been very clear.

If you’re actually Jewish, you should be far more careful with the word ‘fascist’, and you should learn about history before throwing that word around. Fascism is happening now, so being judicial with that word is more important than ever.

I’ll remind you of your comment that sparked this subthread.

I said Kirk was a fascist, and you said: ‘Hilarious how the people saying he was a fascist are themselves the fascists’.

Anyone with a brain would easily see you’re saying I am actually the fascist. Would you like to try again?

I’d love to have a conversation with you about this, but we both need to be honest.

No, I can’t name any fascist movements that didn’t end in violence. That’s why it’s so terribly deadly, and why we can’t allow it to fester. They don’t start with violence, though. They start with populism.

Can you please explain what about my comment made you say it was fascist? Are you still confident you know what that word means?

e: now you’ve run away, and are trolling others in this thread instead. I hope someday soon you’ll try to learn something rather than insisting on your own ignorance. We’ve all been wrong. It’s okay.

So you agree that fascism is far-right, authoritarian, and ultra-nationalist, you’re only haggling that it’s ‘by force’.

Can you give me any citations that say fascism is only fascism once it uses force?

I am not throwing around that term, I assure you, and it seems so far that you don’t actually understand what that word means.

It’s a political ideology, nearly the opposite of socialism.

So, again, can you explain why you said my comment was fascist? By your definition, I did not use force. What about my comment, or my ideology that you seemed to get from it, was fascist?

Okay, thanks.

But a fascist by definition (not our own personal meaning, but the actual meaning) is:

‘a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement’

and that’s how I was using it. By that definition, which is the standard definition, Charlie Kirk was a fascist. He would have agreed with all of those things: he was far-right, authoritarian, and ultra-nationalist. (e: and I can give you examples in his own words where he proudly agreed with those things)

So, I am using the actual definition, where you are using your own personal definition.

Now, can you explain how I am a fascist?

Okay, let’s talk. Can you define ‘fascist’ for me?

What is fascism?

e: I had asked people not to downvote my interlocutor in order to foster conversation, but nevermind; this isn’t going anywhere.

I will not celebrate his death, but I can’t muster up any sympathy for the fact he can’t spread this disgusting, hate-filled vitriol anymore.

If you think he was anything but a net negative to society, corrupting young minds and fostering vile ideologies, you can kindly go fuck yourself.

I am not happy he was killed, but I will not mourn a virulent fascist.

Aye, Charlie, you were dealing with MAGATs, vermin, and swine, but enough about your followers.
