Just imagining a scenario where black liberation means literal white genocide as a cool alt history map.

    Fascists don't get power from people being improperly contextual about their nonsense fantasy maps. Saying this person is getting validation and therefore it's emboldening or powering up their fascism is pretty silly. That means they're somehow aware of our approval/disapproval/jokes/posts/etc and that somehow those things help fascism win. Fascists don't need us to create a pretext for them to enact a brutal racial caste system. They've already done that way before we got here.

    Sometimes you people (hexbears) get awfully twisted up about something and you're super earnest about it but it's like you haven't actually thought it through for more than a few seconds.

      I said it wasn't funny, and I thought about my response pretty thoroughly, thanks.

        You said it wasn't funny because fascists imagine racial strata to justify genocide and these jokes validate that paranoia. Which is a really terrible take that has no basis in reality.

          No it's a good take with lots of basis in reality
