believe it or not, I've asked one if they had an inner sense of self. they said no and that the concept of it was silly

she also has... interesting takes on headcanoning a puyo character as trans

oh fuck it's haley

these are some of my favorites at the moment

no I was thinking the two cagliostros

I think this is the third time this has happened

Most of the feminine entries in this subgenre are either implicitly or explicitly because of sexism, whether it be sexism within the party or in the wider society. which automatically makes it make a bit more sense than their counterparts.

(Ghost of Christmas future showing him the right wing civil war over him that's happening now)

...isn't this the same rationale that was used to justify the likes of Manifest Destiny?

what are the chances she didn't even read any of those fics and just looked at the tags? actually her having read anything other than her own script seems to be suspect.

an enlightened centrist?

Ah, ironically enough the literature you pointed towards me is more anarchist in nature.

so... socialism? communism?

okay so what is "social justice on personal responsibility"?

My apologies, but the use of "personal responsibility" reminds me of its usage in denying systemic harm and that the balm to society is lifting one's self by one's bootstraps. Also I said "libertarian" not "ancap" subtle difference there.

Libertarian, got it.

I mean the nazis came into power by stoking fears about a communist take over and by delegitimizing the german communist party which was the only real threat to them politically before they took over

Okay, so I think I finally see the problem, you think being a bigot is not about what someone says and does but what someone believes only.

so because he lacks a heart of hearts, it's impossible for him to be racist or misogynistic

eh... there are like, several asterisks there.

by that logic he lacks the capacity to be racist and misogynistic

It's almost like fearmongering about communism at every turn invites fascists to the table.

I'm failing to see how this is sinophilia if the dude doesn't like china as a culture and as a people and only likes it that it has the kind of dictatorial rule that he wants to be

It's really not that he likes Xi specifically, he likes dictators and strongmen in general and is envious of their power. He doesn't even like China as a culture or people group, he just wants what Xi has.

so does he like anything about china other than the fact they have one party rule?

okay, do you think trump is sinophobic?

okay, so then there is no conflict between the statements "trump uses sinophobic rhetoric to rally his base for his foreign policy agenda" and "trump's foreign policy is a boon to china because it erodes american soft power"

so why frame him pushing the world to china as an intentional act?

Do you also accept that the guy, trump, is a complete idiot.

Are you forgetting how he sold the tariffs to his base?
