        The hypocrisy gotcha doesn’t work on fascists. They revel in double standards, the hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. They believe in one set of rules that protect the in-group and another that binds the out-group. That’s the point.

        Fascism isn’t built on scientific reasoning or universal morality but on dominance, power, and the appeal to feelings of supremacy. Trying to trap fascists in contradictions is a waste of time; they’ll change positions mid-argument without shame. The goal isn’t to debate them into reason but to deny them the thrill of impunity, to attach negative social and material consequences to being a fascist through shame, ridicule, social exclusion or physical force.

        Yeah, I haven’t listened to chapo in forever but there are a few ideas they dropped that really resonate; “hypocrisy doesn’t matter” is absolutely one of them. Genuinely good lens.

        Fascists enjoy the pain and suffering they inflict it gives them joy, it’s never about being right it’s about being free to conduct themselves as they see fit without fear of nazi-punching

    I don’t want any white person to berate me for being an “anti-white racist” ever again.

    Of course, I never wanted that to begin with, but after hearing about shit like this, I’d hope they’d seriously think twice.

    Who am I kidding? My standards for honkies are way too high now.

        I don’t think he is, but since I’ve been abstaining from kitchen usage (except to occasionally microwave), I don’t really see his face much at all anymore. That’s a plus. Once I actually get a job (whenever the fuck that may be), I’ll make it a priority to find somewhere else to go.

        • I hope you find one quick enough. I used to wander around aimlessly in the streets or spend all day at libraries when I had roomates like that. I took whatever job I could but it took so long. One time I got the landlord to move me to another apartment. I stopped going through consultants after a few bad experiences and find it safer to look through some local community website while looking for roomates because they are sometimes picky and you can talk to them and usually finding the roomates part is not managed by the landlords on those websites. They are kind of cheaper too.

    I’ve had little kids go through my stuff before and my reaction wasn’t to assume they’re stealing, but curious about a bag and what could be in it. I’ve probably done the same when I was little.

    This fuck just wanted to call a little boy the n-word and then go “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!” to provoke even more reactions.

    I choose to believe that most of the small dollar donations are actually from only a few people and they split up their donations to make it look grass roots.

    While Hendrix claimed in the post that Omar had a history of problems with law enforcement, state court records show she has multiple convictions of her own, including driving under the influence, disorderly conduct and brawling.
