    Hi folks!

    Please consider the following:

    While it is technically correct that the terms White Nationalist, Neo-Nazi, Nazi, and Fascist are different things and do not mean identical things...

    Please think very carefully if it is actually important to correct people about which one they are using to refer to a specific odious, harmful racist by.

    Of course it's true that not all White Nationalists are Nazis, and not all Fascists are White Nationalists, but all of those people are dangerous, harmful, and have important unifying characteristics that people need to be aware of.

    Quibbling over the specificity of these terms can be important! ...sometimes. Often, though, it really, really isn't. It can be important in a historical context, or in specifying exactly which group a hatemonger's loyalties lie with. But otherwise, in common conversation, these terms can be used fairly interchangeably and getting hung up on pedantry can only create a distracting side conversation of people talking past each other.

    So just... decide how important it is for you to be technically correct.

    I see bowen's point about not overusing it

    but IMO Bannon is definitely one of those people

    Think about the most racist relative you have and compare what they say in private or on facebook to what they say in public, at work

    now look at what bannon has said with fucking cameras rolling, and imagine what he's like when they aren't

    I couldn't build a court case, but I see the white supremacy smoke, I think there's some variation of nazi fire!

    I'm comfortable calling Bannon a nazi.

    I'm not comfortable calling Pewdiepie a nazi because wall street journal blog shit had a slow news day and cut out like 10 seconds of his video and presented it without context.

    What about nazicuriospie? Like he's dipping a toe seeing how it feels, just the tip?

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    A lot of the m4m, no homo, j/o bro, down-low type stuff isn't just rooted in homophobia.

    It's also rooted in bisexual erasure and monosexism.

    There's a very strong and prevailing cultural attitude that once you engage in same-sex sexual activity, or hell even just express the interest, YOU GAY NOW.

    Even if you're still interested in the opposite gender, even if you don't want to buy into a "gay identity", there's a lot of societal pressure to do so. There's a sexual orientation binary and it's rigidly enforced by gay and straight people.

    So there are people who engage in mental gymnastics and terminology games to avoid getting pigeon-holed as gay, because they're not just "in the closet"... they might not actually be homosexual.

    honestly it's kind of a problem in the sea area where traffic is so bad in every direction to and from every destination

    like even if you do buy a play a reasonable commute from your work

    I hope they never move
    or you never get a new job
    because you're back in hour long commute town sucker

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    If you were a straight guy who wanted to dabble in the m4m stuff... wouldn't you want someone more feminine so it at least was more like what you were normally into? Small steps or whatever?

    i realized the other day i actually do have "investments" in that i have a retirement savings plan with a fairly small amount in it. i'd say about a quarter of a down payment on a house. a small house. or a very small condo in a nice part of town.

    i forget about it every year until tax season, which is actually kind of bad because contributing to an RRSP is one of the best ways to increase your tax refund

    Our yearly budget currently is $35K (excluding income taxes, which bums it up to 42K) tough I have to admit it's pretty tight. Eating out is our one big luxury.

    50K after income taxes would feel like luxury to us :)

    I'm not saying never argue about terminology

    Or never be insistent about specificity

    But, don't always

    Strike a balance. Asses when it's important. For example, I do think it's a reach to call Pewdiepie a Nazi for being a privileged white dipshit who does things for the lulz.

    Whereas I think it's a hairsplit on whether Bannon is a Nazi or a White Nationalist

    hey my work's kind of on the edge of the metropolitan area, what if cutting in closer to be centralized (and commuting out) I went way out into the foothills and bought in one of those sleepy exburb communities that used to be logging towns before we cut the forests down?

    lolnooope, unsurprisingly those cities are not well run and they let developers build thousands of densely packed mcmansions without giving thought to infrastructue

    the single four lane road into town become gridlocked every rush hour commute is just as long as if you were staying in civilization

    I think very generically using 'nazi' decreases its potency and historical force.
    Honestly, even calling Bannon a nazi is eh although he is fairly nazi-adjacent, I guess.
    It is important to figure out what words we are using to describe these people.
