    deeds not words

    Oh absolutely trying to kill trans people, for the base, but does not personally give a shit. Is saving the rhetoric for an election.

    fascist intellectuals

    There were. There aren’t anymore because it’s a fundamentally anti intellectual movement. Their analyses all amount to a shallow disdain for complexity and contrivance to baffle shitlibs into alliance.

    saying someone is less human

    Again, not a distinction im making or care about. This is not meaningful to me Who are you arguing with? Is this just action for the sake of action on your part?

      There were. There aren’t anymore

      Example: Jordan Peterson.

      There are many others.

      Don’t underestimate your enemy my friend. Just because the ones in the foreground are low IQ screaming idiots doesn’t mean the quiet ones behind the curtains are low IQ too.

      It’s not about intellect per se. It’s about empathy. Take a sociopath for example. They can be highly intellectual but their goal will justify any means because they lack any form of it.

      I’m not saying intellect has nothing to do with the rise of fascism, because fascists are very good at manipulating low IQ people with disinformation. These low IQ people, the heard, won’t see the harm they do because that would drive their support away so it’s all being hidden and twisted.

      But the core of the rise of fascism is definitely planned by intellectual people and you should not underestimate that.

      Don’t just look at the skinheads on the street. Look at the people funding fascist tyrants.

      Again, not a distinction im making or care about. This is not meaningful to me Who are you arguing with? Is this just action for the sake of action on your part?

      We were talking about dehumanizing people, weren’t we?

        jordan peterson

        No, you said intellectuals. He’s exactly what i described. Please read what i wrote before replying.

        there are many others

        You couldn’t name one.

        IQ

        Clown shit

        empathy

        I have explored that system, stared into that abyss. Im aware of how it works, and it is not, in the ways that matter to me; a person. I can get my ass kicked by the computer in a 30 year old video game. Doesn’t make it a person.

        planned by intellectuals

        Even uf you stretched the definition to inclhde ghouls like gingrich and bannon; they’re not entirely welcome in those spaces anymore

        funders

        Yeah they’re rich; not smart. Different. Arguably exclusive.

        we were talking about

        Scroll up.

        talking like jordan peterson all day

        So…
