Assume away. I see a similarity. I will gladly change my mind if anyone can show how fascist tactics used in the past are significantly different than what is currently being done. If you wish I will remove my posts. BTW - many consider ‘hysterical’ to be misogynistic, so add that to your list?

They were, in fact, the first targets. History rhymes. Dividing a population weakens it. They will get around to the “normal gays” when they cease being useful. Hopefully this time people will see that the surest self-preservation is community preservation. I was aware when I chose the simile.

I’m guessing these are seen sort of like Kapos, okay enough to collaborate but still inherently inferior.

Hopefully. That is a rather ugly podium imo.

Seeing quite a few suggest the shooting is a false flag because the shooter worked with the CIA. Another easy take is that the shooter drew parallels with what he’d witnessed in Afghanistan and took action against militarization. There are many other possibilities, though.

I have often seen masculinity, conventional version, as a constant renunciation, in return for corrosive power. All the things you're not allowed to like, enjoy, do, say, wear, but (metaphorically speaking) this straitjacket comes with a gun.

I would sincerely appreciate anyone able to explain what “masculine values” are in such a way that it doesn’t just sound like code words for misogyny.
