My favorite stage of fascism is when they inevitably start turning on each other.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

My favorite stage of fascism is when there are grainy newspaper pictures of the dictator's body being paraded for the citizens to witness.

Not sure if we'll get that, but a man can dream.

Weren't they swooning over her as some un-woke white beauty goddess not too long ago?

The mind of a right winger can not be comprehended by mortal minds

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

The mind of a right winger works like this:

  1. find guy who shares all your worst attributes
  2. Worship said guy and post-hoc rationalize everything he does.

It's like trying to understand the logical thought process of the Giant African Snail. There is none.

"I find her attractive. She must have a penis!"

  • their thoughts, probably
[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just because they think she's trans doesn't mean they aren't attracted to her.

If you're ever curious, hop on over to the dumpster fire that is 4Chan's porn boards. Half the posts are trans women fucking cis men, and the ones that aren't are typically gay or interracial cuckoldry.

True, but she is still just a woman you know. Small brain and so on.

Transvestigation

Why, just why. Certain words should never have been invented, why was this one?

Even if she is trans (she's not) who fucking cares? It's ~~nine~~ none of your goddamn business, and again, who cares, and why care? If she's trans, well good on her because she looks great, but who caaaaaarres?

And even if you'd care at all, why care so much to spend time on it at all?

I can only imagine that secretly these guys hope she's trans because secretly they're gay but two guys kissing is yucky to them, so a beautiful girl with a penis would be awesome for them.

That's literally the only way that this nonsense makes any sense to me

Edit: fixed typo

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

This is a group of people who are almost entirely led by, or are themselves, incels who grew up and got attention for screaming about how bad women are and how everyone needs to be an "alpha male" to succeed. They're not healthy. They are fascists, and every fascist movement has been the product of sexual insecurity.

There's a Ven Diagram out there of conservatives who are obsessed with if people are trans, and men who are afraid to touch their ass in the shower to clean because it's "gay" and that circle has a HUGE overlap.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

This comment is about pretty much everything the far right is obsessed with.

Project 2025 is basically just a small group of rich, hyper Christian fanatics plotting to dismantle the entire country for the express purpose of forcing everybody to live like that small group thinks we should by penalty of imprisonment if not death.

It's fucking demented

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

Yep, pretty much

Once trump is gone (and he will be, soon enough) can we please:

a) Put a boat load of restrictions on religions. Churches and religions pay taxes, period. They can't break any human rights, they can't have any of their materials in any school, or even be talked about, unless if to teach about the horrors and plain stupidity of religions.

b) place a hard cap on personal wealth. Create a load more tax brackets that also keep personal wealth into account and anything over a million goes 100% to taxes. No. More. Millionaires. The world would be such a better place. Governments would get boat loads of money for projects, free healthcare, free education, free public transport, universal basic income....

Sweeney has been blatantly courting a far-right audience, but of course that will backfire.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I give her 5 more years tops till her credibility as a “Hollywood” actress runs out and she goes full right wing grifter.

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Her credibility is measured in cup sizes, and at the moment they are pretty large. As long as they maintan their size, she'll continue to make a lot of money.

Has she?

I'm not really into celebrity worshipping but the little I know of her, she only did a jeans commercial that started all this. I doubt that the commercial was her idea, this was a marketing agency that came up with the idea, the concept, the things that should be said and she was hired as an actress to say it.

I've seen quite a few actors say or do things in commercials that they normally wouldn't do or say themselves

In not trying to defend her, I'm no fan, I just think (unless there is way more that I'm not aware of) that the hatred towards her is a little bit over the top

I guess they don't like her jeans anymore.

Edit: maybe she's gotten too old for them

[–] BranBucket@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago

One thing that gives me hope is that these chucklefucks will happily eat each other alive over the smallest imagined things. If they don't have a "big evil thing" to organize against they're just one giant fucking bucket of crabs, man.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 85 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't this their girl after that ad campaign? Man they really are just mindless numbnut dipshits.

[–] ViatorOmnium@piefed.social 68 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, until she commented on the reactions to the ad campaign by saying she is against the far right and called them hateful .

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ah that'll do it. The last thing they want to hear is the truth about themselves and their actions and speech.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago

"I hate her because she called me hateful" Checks out.

"Shes too hot"

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 38 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Lmao, I thought she was supposed to be the sex symbol of far right

[–] group_hug@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago

Well she isn't playing a high schooler anymore. Pretty sure that disqualifies her.

In social media groups and private channels, adherents share photos and discuss whether people like John Krasinski or Erin Darke have had gender-affirming surgeries and/or perform blood rituals to Baphomet.

I don't even know what a "Baphomet" is, but these people STILL sound batshit insane to me

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 71 points 3 days ago (7 children)

Baphomet is the goat-headed humanoid, usually depicted with one hand showing two fingers pointed up and the other hand with two fingers pointed down (as above, so below). Usually associated with the occult or pagan religions, today it's usually referred to as the Satan goat.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

...........so it's even dumber than I thought.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 44 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They are dumb, but baphomet is awesome and adorable. Often depicted with a Solve et Coagula on it's stomach you may recognize as a medical icon. It symbolizes balance and duality, dating back to when we thought the key to curing sickness was "balancing" the 4(?) humors(liquids of life).

I.e. check out this fabulous fiend!

The transvestigation people are absolutely insane. They've made up this whole universe where every celebrity is trans and they're being transed for the glory of Satan/ to destroy the family. It's incredibly weird. It goes from casual transphobia to belief in a satanic cabal in seconds. It's whole logic is basically "there is no variation in human body in regards to sex, therefore, any variation is proof that someone is trans". It's basically Incel body rating for terfs.

They tried to claim that Andre the giant was FTM, which is hilarious if you know anything about Transmascs.

One section has declared that Dylan mulvaney is a "Double flipper", who was born female, was made to transition to male, and then transitioned to female.

They will literally declare that folds in clothing or proof that someone has a penis. Completely innocent folds in clothing.

They're absolutely insane.

I know these are crazy people, but I love the casualness of "having surgery and/or performing blood rituals" 😛

Whichever.

Sydney Sweeney, the Actress who gets Naked on Camera and has her Body under Constant Scrutiny, is TRANS!

-People who believe Donald Trump was an FBI Informant Investigating Jeffrey Epstein and that's why he's doing EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO PROTECT JEFFREY EPSTEIN EVEN THOUGH JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS DEAD!
