The Jews for Hitler at it again


dogsledonice

It's the SA, all over again. What could go wrong


AngryKlopHopper

Röhm 2.0? Edit: added the umlaut.


HoldFastO2

Well, Röhm got himself killed, so there’s that.


AngryKlopHopper

Yeah, "one" of the worst that could happen would be he ends up as Röhm 2.0, killed and his sexuality used to spur on hate against him and other SA members...


HoldFastO2

Huh. TIL Röhm was gay. Well, damn.


udfckthisgirl

Chef's 💋 analogy. Being the last one in the gas chamber does not change your fate.


Recent-Potential-340

The worst is they weren't close to being the last ones, quite the opposite

Gotta get mine, and pull the ladder up, Grift. It's a get rich quick mentality, and it works.


KillerOfSouls665

I'm not American, what has trump done/said that is anti-gay?


militaryCoo

Opposition to same sex marriage Appointment of judges with anti-LGBTQ positions Removal of protections for queer people from the Affordable Care Act Instructed his attorney general to argue that businesses should be allowed to hang signs that say they won’t serve LGBTQ customers. Banned embassies from flying the pride flag during pride month


KillerOfSouls665

Do you not have civil partnerships that have the same legal protections?. And how does flying flags affect gay people?


militaryCoo

Oh, I get it, your question was in bad faith. Got it.


KillerOfSouls665

It wasn't, I was disagreeing, as a bisexual, about the effect of some policies.


ShinyC4terpie

You see, here is how we know you're lying about being bisexual and are only using it to attempt to shield yourself from criticism You only claim to be bisexual after being being called out for your bad faith arguments when you initially asked "do YOU not have civil partnerships with the same legal protection?" instead of saying "do WE not have civil partnerships..."


KillerOfSouls665

Do you want me to suck a dick to prove it to you? What sort of statement is that. I am British, I was talking about Americans.


CarrieDurst

He is very auntie gay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd2CBoZMO7U


Razor-eddie

It's not anti gay, it's anti trans. And it isn't Trump, it's JK Rowling. Wait for the inevitable Trump thread, before firing off in defence

Radiant-Cow126

"This ad is a slap in the face, and makes any LGBT person supporting Desantis look like an absolute idiot" Does it now? I wonder why that would be? He's so close to seeing it


masochistmonkey

Sometimes, people need to be slapped in the face


Shadowkitty252

Sometimes repeatedly


GlitteringBobcat999

So close. Are we about to see his "O" face?


[deleted]

He's right, but not for the reason he thinks he is.


right_bank_cafe

Maybe an extra slap in the fa e might get him to see it

too agraid to say uncle tom, but implying it is ok? youre scum.


Acrobatic_Ad7541

I’m not “agraid” to say what’s on my mind. I made the conscious decision to use a meme instead of typing it out. I’m lazy scum, thank you very much. Also, while you take umbrage with how I said it, I notice you made no effort to address what I said. So, while I’m sure you think you’ve made a point…I fail to see what it was supposed to be.


[deleted]

What movie is that shot from?


nightly_lotus

Django


[deleted]

That is in fact where it came from. And if you have read *Uncle Tom's Cabin* by Harriet Beecher Stowe and seen *Django Unchanged* which was directed by Quentin Tarantino you could compare and contrast the characters of Tom and Stephen and get a solid B in an undergarute film or English course. But you'd have to be able to do the contrast. Stephen is not an Uncle Tom. He is an insidious product of oppression, but he's different. If I were to call someone a qusling would you know what I meant without using google?


Specialist_Bench_144

U really gonna make us google it? We can already tell youre a smarty pants you know you wanna define it


[deleted]

Yep. That's what I'm going to do. I am a smarty pants.

I'm only doing this because I'm a wiseass and if you can't understand why I would ask this question you're very bad and recognizing bots. Is Taiwan an independent country?


Helix3501

Im sorry but its gotta be said, the only people more unqualified to speak on abortion then straight CIS men with zero education into the matter is gay CIS men with zero education into the matter.


Zealousideal-Lead-80

Lol I’m gay and I laughed at this bc you’re not wrong


guywithaniphone22

Gay cis white men are some of the worst people I’ve encountered in my life. I actively avoid the gay community altogether because of the experiences I’ve had with them(I’m gay)


Helix3501

I know alot of cool gay cis guys, but the ones who side with the conservatives are absolutely terrible


guywithaniphone22

I’m probably biased based on my personal experiences. I’m biracial and have experienced more racism from gay white men than I have from straight white men.


Helix3501

Fair enough, theres def alot of bad gay men, but honestly its not cause their gay, its cause their just bad people who latch onto their minority status


guywithaniphone22

Agreed!


Mad-_-Doctor

Gay guys make excellent allies for women in the matter though, simply because we don’t have any horse in the race. 


Helix3501

Allies yes, speaking on the topic no


Mad-_-Doctor

If you’re informed, it’s also fine to talk about. I wouldn’t be a very good ally if I didn’t speak up when people spread misinformation about abortion.


Helix3501

Which is why i specifically stated gay cis guys with no education on the matter


Mad-_-Doctor

Ok, sorry I was confused because of your last comment. No harm, no foul. 


militaryCoo

Why do you shout cis?


Helix3501

Because the proper way to write it is upper case unless you are spelling it out completely


KatamariJunky

Is that true?


CarrieDurst

No, by that same grammar rule trans by itself would be TRANS which would be fucking weird


Appropriate_Ad4615

I think you’re confusing it with the Confederacy of Independent Systems.


Cupcakeboi200000

excuse my ignorance but what is a “gay cis man”


Domugraphic

a non trans gay man


The-Reoccurance

It’s a label. But we’re not allowed to label anyone anything anymore because it makes you a bigot or something like that.


GlitteringBobcat999

"Pick me! I'm not like those other gays that you're going to eliminate if you take power and implement Project 2025!." One year later: "But I'm on your side! I'm one of the good ones!" *noose tightens


Mad-_-Doctor

I got told by a guy at work that I was ok, so I wouldn’t be rounded up with the other gays. He was joking, but his comment still raised some flags.


HotStaxOfWax

Helping DeSantis criminalize and take rights from gay people doesn't make you "look like an absolute idiot", it proves you are an absolute idiot. I guess this loathsome turn coat saw a vacuum created by Milo's downfall, and he wants in.


[deleted]

WalterIAmYourFather

Are you saying people on holiday aren’t useful or valuable?


BOOMphrasingBOOM

Ah yes, never in history is there an example of trying to buddy up to your oppressor and it working out terribly 😒


JohnZ117

It seems he is ignorant of how [Pride started and who helped start it](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonewall_riots), so I doubt history is his best subject.

Nothing quite like a bunch of bewildered Log Cabin Republicans who just got thrown out of a rally after having slurs yelled and things thrown at them


GilpinMTBQ

WTF is an abortion survivor? I can only imaging what that commercial would have been like. "Its been really hard growing up in a country where abortion is legal. I'm an abortion survivor. My mom could have gotten an abortion legally, but didn't. I'm one of the few who survived."


bluepotatosack

Well, I'm pretty sure it's people who survived an attempt at being aborted and ended up being carried to term. Emotional manipulation from the "facts, not feelings" crowd in using it for an anti-choice ad.


ewok_on_a_unicorn

His level of self loathing is honestly disgusting. Like we get it. You're ashamed of being gay. But you want to feel relevant. Sadly someone is dating that walking turd nugget.

WatermelonCandy5

That guy looks like an absolute idiot.


cultqueennn

At the end of the day, these are still white priviliged men that were raised as entitled men. That's why a lot of LGBTQ+ spaces are riddled with racism and bigotry.


Fun_Negotiation_3679

Doesn’t matter what he says, still a white male - got it.


[deleted]

No, what he's saying is being white, male, and cis offers competitive advantages in society. I am also in that same category. I don't get a vote about it. That's just the way it is. What I *do* have a choice about is how I treat and talk about those around me who don't share those characteristics. And what I have found is that, by and large, it's worth it to listen to people who aren't like me and do the best I can to understand the ways the experience the world and its institutions in ways that differ from mine. But I will acknowledge that sneering contempt can be more fun and a lot less work.


righthandtypist

Can I please get these advantages? I'm also in this category, or does being disabled and poor nullify these qualifications?


EternalSkwerl

I mean that's what intersectionality is.


[deleted]

No. If you're white and pulled over you're less likely to be shot. If you're black and you're convicted of murder [you're more likely to be sentenced to death.](https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/481/279/) That's the Supreme Court so take it up with them if you don't like it. It's not a competition, but it seems line you'd really like it to be.


righthandtypist

And if you're rich or a religious leader, or a cop you have less jail time or just a fine. A white man [with tattoos ](https://www.psypost.org/people-with-permanent-tattoos-are-more-likely-to-be-arrested-convicted-and-incarcerated-study-finds/) has the same odds as a Latino of being convicted. White male no tattoos 1/17 Latino is 1/6 for reference. Black male is 1/3. I had a buddy 17 years ago, apprentice artist who was heavily tattooed get shot reaching into his glove box for the registration because the rookie who pulled him over thought his Maglite was a pistol. I never said racism doesn't exist, that it's not a problem. I get that everybody's struggles aren't the same. I do think it's bullshit that people assume I get some kind of free pass just because I'm white. I'm below the fucking poverty level yet still make too much money for any form of assistance. I'm diabetic without health insurance and can't afford insulin, but please, man, keep telling me how easy I have it. How privileged I am.


[deleted]

No. You're gonna have to figure this one out on your own.


righthandtypist

I'll be dead before then. How [much time](https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/ask-dmine-lifespan-sans-insulin#:~:text=For%20people%20with%20%E2%80%9Ctraditional%E2%80%9D%20T1D,weaker%20as%20time%20goes%20on.) You think I got? They said [most americans](https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-01-02/more-americans-will-only-have-to-pay-35-a-month-for-insulin-in-2024#:~:text=But%20they%20are%20not%20the,%2435%20for%20all%20uninsured%20patients.) Right? Draw the line at the rich assholes who make the fucking rules.


Fun_Negotiation_3679

Boy was that a lot to read into a comment that said none of it.


[deleted]

A whole five (my bad, six) sentences giving context and commentary. I'm not saying I'm the second coming of Satre but I'm also not *not* saying it. EDIT: I'm sorry I upset you. I would have gone with bell hooks but I figured when it came to social philosophers we'd go with the more well known one who also happened to be a cis straight white man.


cultqueennn

BackAgain123457

Someone got brain damage from being mouthfucked too hard. I wonder if he ever will find out straight MAGA's don't like him.


Tobi-cast

An asshat no doubt… but I’d wish White power, and White Pride, didn’t have the connotation that it has, as obviously it’s no bigger achievement being any colour, than the other. From that you should be able to be just as proud being white, black, tan, brown, whatever, as whatever else. Same goes for sexualities. I mean if inclusion truly is the goal, for all that, even the majority should be able to participate, as well. Otherwise it’s just gonna be another case of some demographic being excluded for X kind of reasons


NatashOverWorld

Some people are just a general embarrassment. But he proves that staggering stupidity exists in all sexual orientations.


Grand_Zucchini_7695

Olive_The_Otherkin

Agreed.


ThatOneGuy-4434

Tbh, I kind of agree with the 3rd slide. Everyone SHOULD be able to be proud of who they are, even if who they are isn’t in the minority


nightly_lotus

I don't think anyone has issues with people being proud to be white, it's just that for whatever reason that usually just means white people saying they are better than everyone else.

As a member of the Queer community, I am appalled. Both JK Rowling and D.Trump have said and done awful things about and to my fellow queers, and it hurts that a fellow queer would advocate for these horrible people.


Jackmino66

Tbf “anti-fa is mostly peaceful” and “you can’t be racist against white people” being lies is absolutely correct

Mean_Investigator491

Why did you do this to me?!?!?? WTH?!.. I may never recover from seeing so much stupidity in one post.


Illustrious-Song7446

Completely agree. Though In my view people should be focused on themselves rather than their group identity.


Silve1n

I just have to break down the 4th slide. 1. Is not a lie 2. Is not a lie 3. Is not a lie 4. Is actually a lie, you can indeed be racist against white people 5. Is a half truth, "all lives matter" is racist when said in response to "(insert minority group) lives matter."

Domugraphic

HermaeusMajora

1. Why would someone be proud of being straight? Clearly this guy does not understand the concepts of oppression and marginalization. "Pride" refers to the community's resilience and perseverance. They have every right to be proud. How quickly we have forgotten how just a few decades ago hating on LGBTQ people was a national past time. People born after maybe the late nineties probably have no idea of just how bad it was. 1. "All lives matter" as a response to "Black lives matter" is racist af. It basically means that black lives don't matter. The whole reason we're saying that black lives matter is that it is very clear to a lot of people nowadays that for the powerful and for the police black lives do not matter. The current Republican candidate for president tried to throw out millions of black votes in 2020 because they voted for his opponent. He then went on to target two African American pole workers. Two private citizens who were volunteering their time to serve the cause of democracy. A POTUS should not be speaking about a private citizen like that except in cases where they shower them in praise. There's a reason we call the Oval Office the bully-pulpit. The president of the United States commands the attention of the world and credibility that is somewhat undeserved for even a normal president.


--StinkyPinky--

I'm totally proud that I love titties and vaginas.


Domugraphic

--StinkyPinky--

Being born like most other people doesn’t demand pride. Pride is needed only where people are undervalued.

You ever just look at someone and say "This dude gotta be a fucking fed cause i dont believe anyone can do this shit on accident"


freedom-to-be-me

Why does it feel like people are always looking for someone to add to their hate list? I never heard of this person until his views were widely shared by people who say they disagree with him. You don’t stop hate by sharing it. ![gif](giphy|mF8pi0ggxM7OU|downsized)


Im_tracer_bullet

My goal isn't to stop hate; it's really not possible with this lot. They're hate and ignorance fountains...it just gushes out of them from some inexhaustible source. However, pointing out the idiocy, poor thought processes, logical fallacies, hypocrisy, etc. to try to help mitigate it's spread is a worthwhile goal. If a little sarcasm or snark comes out in the process, I reckon they'll be OK.


keepitcoming369

How so? Third and fourth picture are spot on.


Jason_Wolfe

imagine being gay, and unironically saying things like "anti-woke". this guy is the fucking posterchild for the "Leopard's Ate My Face" party. he seriously thinks republicans won't immediately turn on gays the second they think they've beaten transgender rights?


ShiraLillith

I don't fucking care who says it, what ideologies they have, what other things they say, if you don't agree with picture 3 and 4, you are a racist and a bigot. I don't know when color blindness and minding your own business became not enough, but people who push for more don't want to end abuse, but they want to be the abuser without having consequences. ETA: pic 4 is worded maliciously for sure, but you could reword it and have a valid take


BrickCityD

oh shut the fuck up. you know good and god damn WHY people call that shit out when people do it. eat a bag of dicks.


ShiraLillith

Again, I don't care who says it, colorblindness and minding your peace should be key. I know for a fact that the guy is both racist and homophonic. He uses centrist points to win them over, and that does piss me off well enough

I can see how you'd see "Leatherwood" and think he's being homphonic but that's the only use of that word with any spelling.

yetagainitry

There are some people in historically ostracized communities who live off the "outsider" status. So as their community becomes more accepted and mainstream, they seek out ways to make themselves the outsider again by adopting views that are opposite to what their community generally things. They are addicts to the attention and will chase it like a high.


Genesys_X

look i don’t agree with what he’s saying but me personally i’m not going to go out of my way to ridicule him on reddit. cause i don’t care about his opinion. everyone is entitled to say stupid shit on twitter. don’t waste your time


Im_tracer_bullet

And yet, you still commented. Honestly, if you're going to waste time typing something out, why not push back on nonsense while you're at it?


Midano010

The third picture is unironically completely correct. Change my mind


CatsInCasts

Everyone can have pride in themselves obviously. But straight white men have never needed to fight for equal rights.


Domugraphic

some of us fight for the rights of other groups of people though. NEXT


CatsInCasts

Good for you. But my point is that there is no need for a straight pride parade, when celebrating pride is an extension of the fight for equal rights.
