Change my view: PCM is legitimately the worst fucking place on the internet - it's a really big community that regularly reaches the top of r*ddit, and it's just an enormous platform for normalising fascism. Libs fall all over each other to wank themselves off about how tolerant and accepting they are of them, fash-adjacent chuds get to try the jackboots on in a space that makes them feel like that's okay, actual fash get to recruit freely and laugh at the dumb fucking libs letting them do it. Way bigger reach and way more insidious than kids wandering onto stormfront dot com or wherever thedonald is now or whatever
I'm not sure anyone here is gonna try to change your view, you hit the nail on the head.
tolerant
we already know that they're tolerant of fascism
Four nazi groomers massaging the shoulders of a young redditor: yeah, we all have different opinions here, it's a place to share ideas.
I'm genuinely sorry if my phrasing was tasteless. Would it be helpful if I deleted it?
PCM has honestly been a masterstroke by the internet rightoids lol. Radicalizing people to the right on the pretense of tolerance and muh both sides
Based is a slang term that originally meant to be addicted to crack cocaine (or acting like you were), but was reclaimed by rapper Lil B for being yourself and not caring what others think of you—to carry yourself with swagger.
Much like the original nazis, these soulless redditors are incapable of any creative thought so they need to steal the culture of actual human beings.
It honestly really interesting how language travels and transforms tbh.
Me and my friends say based, but I was honestly unaware of the origins.
We go into the Reichstag to arm us in the arsenal of democracy with its own weapons. We become Reichstag members to harmstring the Weimar alignment with its own support. (...) We do not come as friends, we do not come as neutrals. We come as enemies! As the wolf breaks into a herd of sheep, that's how we come.

hell yeah i love exposing myself to "opinions" like I don't deserve to live
Yeah, the website that the compass is from is very obvious libertarian propaganda. For one, the test you can take to place yourself on the compass has a bunch of "are you a bad person?" questions, like whether or not you should beat your children, ban being queer, or create an ethnostate. Answering these doesnt change the left/right value of the result, but instead the auth/lib value. The result is that nearly everybody who takes the test that isn't a nazi gets placed as a libertarian.
Secondly, the site's analysis of where different famous politicians and political theorists land on the chart is pretty suspicious. IIRC, Ayn Rand, who they use as the figurehead for libertarianism, is a deep libertarian centrist. They point out how she is exactly opposite of Hitler, an authoritarian centrist. They instead put Pinochet, who libertarians also really like, in the auth right corner where hitler belongs, but his economic advisor Milton Friedman gets to be in the lib right corner despite designing the economic engine of a dictatorship.
Just saying that I have never see an LGBT positive (especially the T) "centrist" space.
But plenty of the opposite.
This feels very children's television. "You're a big smart boy for constantly swimming in fascist propaganda, yes you are:)"
i’ve long been exposed to other opinions, do they think communist spring up from the earth not having heard of means testing?
