There’s an obvious difference between someone having a different political belief and a dangerous political belief. Being radical conservative is a dangerous political belief. Forgive me but I don’t want to hang around people who call me slurs or physically threaten me for who I am, or just try to take away my access to live-saving medical care.
Fascism, bigotry, and authoritarianism is not an opinion, in the same way that arsenic isn’t a flavor.
I believe being radically conservative or liberal is terrible… I honestly detest both sides right now. I can’t stand how divisive politics are right now. (I am not innocent of this sometimes). Im repulsed by maga trumpsters, but i also cant stand the extreme left folks who identify as socialists. I try to be a centrist, and maybe I am because I get a lot of hate from Dems and Republicans because I argue against the points I disagree with. Generalizing and stereotyping, that’s social media. If I show tolerance of lifestyles like your own, conservatives hate me for it, and I get called a libtard. On this platform (lemmy), it’s 98% liberal left folks, some very extreme. Here, i get called a nazi, maga, etc. All the time.
You should have life-saving care. You shouldn’t be threatened or called slurs. You have the right to pretend to be whoever you want to be, and I’d fight for you to have that right, even if i do have a distaste for your lifestyle choices.

Well, those definitely are opinions. And I bet arsenic does have a flavor.
I’m also on Truth social, and they don’t like me over there either. Maybe I’m a contrarian. Maybe argumentative. Probably a little bit of an asshole. At least I am self-aware.
When you said you were on truth social I knew exactly the kind of person you are. It’s not surprising that you get called a Nazi and a Maga often, you share very similar beliefs with them. Also “You have the right to pretend to be whoever you want to be” fuck you, I’m not pretending, none of us are pretending. This is what I’m talking about when I say thinly veiled transphobia and denial of our identities. We aren’t pretending to be women, we ARE women, trans women are women. If you can’t accept that, regardless of how you self-proclaim yourself or how nice you claim to be or support us, you are a transphobe, because you are refusing to accept us for who we are, and instead try to push and insist that we are something we are not and are just pretending. Go fuck off.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Now you’ve turned me into a strawman to unleash your anger towards. I’m not going to try to explain anything else. But, you should get a truth social account, it’s pretty wild in there. Don’t be afraid.
You shouldn’t bother trying to waste your breath explaining anything, I have no intention of wasting my time listening to people like you. This quote sums up people like you pretty well, just replace anti-semite with alt-right.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
"Anti-semite, “alt-right”. You couldn’t be further from the truth. What exactly did I say that has you painting me as such a characature?
listening to people like you
sums up people like you
Constant generalizing and stereotyping… It’s assumptions based on ignorance. I think it’s a symptom of social media in general, but I’m really feeling the brunt of it here on lemmy.
You don’t know me. Your arguments are only good against certain people/issues, so you turn me into a strawman for your arguments.
