Schrodinger’s racism: All non-whites must be deported, but South-African white people must be brought over, granted asylum and protection from “genocide”.
I am white, so there’s no confusion. And no, I’m not saying they don’t deserve help, as the situation in South Africa is pretty bad for them - it’s really just the double standard.
It’s being reliant on medication - that’s a problem for any combat role
Like if you are 100% reliant on Adderall in order to function, you cannot be in a combat role.
funny how the ban isn’t about medication but gender instead. weird how things just coincidentally happen
Also, not all trans people take meds or surgically transition. Can confirm.
Yeah, those fascists totally care about the medical aspect and not the fact that they’re trans. Right… /s
While I’m very angry at the prejudice within the army, this does seem like an interesting aspect to it I hadn’t heard of before.
But yeah, as someone else said, it sounds like it was not just to combat roles.
Yeah for non combat roles excluding trans people is most likely just due to most of the military leadership hating trans people
All of it is due to hating trans people
The problem is that it’s a blanket ban (plus retroactive firing) of all trans people serving in the military, not just an asterisk on serving combat roles.
For non combat roles the exclusion of Trans people is due to military leadership largely hating trans people
Tell that to the Trans solder that had to return early from a Deployment to get kicked out for doing his job while politically inconvienent.
Schrödingers president. He’s a senile moron who shits himself and can’t form coherent sentences, but he’s also an evil mastermind that is masterfully installing a fascist regime right under our noses!
/s
Schrödinger’s Democracy: We The People, unless I disagree with those people.
It’s “We, the people”, not “Them there people”! /s
Classic fascist doublethink. Straight out of the book. The enemy is both strong/dangerous enough to be a serious threat, but the fascist is still somehow very superior to them. 🤷
Err does anyone on the right actually think we have secure borders?
Like wasn’t “securing the borders” part of Trump’s pitch? As in “there’s an invasion taking place and we need to secure the borders”?
The trans one is spot on though
the rest of the world thinks it’s terribly hilarious. and now they’re picking a fight with canada? lmao that’s a hell of a wall to build to keep out a teaspoon of fent.
and there’s no point in asking the “right” in the usa any questions any more, because they can’t be trusted to answer you in good faith. they’re lost, and it’s just a matter of time before america realizes they’re really just on the brink of a war with themselves.
It’s telling that Trump never brings up the Sackler family and Purdue Pharma. They’re the one’s directly responsible for over prescribing opioids and causing the fentanyl crisis in the first place. The court system has let them completely off the hook.
Err does anyone on the right actually think we have secure borders?
Yes, Trump and his administration keep saying this.

I’m not sure the trans one is contradictory in the conservative mindset. Trans women are too “manly”, trans men are too “effeminate” according to them.
Schrodinger’s tariffs: they’re great, except when they hurt my small business.
That’s just basic cruelty. “Hurting other people is great”
This is actually how Russians do their propaganda. NATO is weak but also the greatest threat to our nation. Sending Abrams to Ukraine is pointless as they are useless tanks and Ukraine has already lost, but also sending Abrams is crossing a line and a declaration of war.
Gee, wonder where Trump learned it from?
Zelenskyy is simultaneously a puppet of The West™ and a wizard mind controlling EU and US
The greatest threat to a nation being weak technically isnt a contradiction. If all your enemies are weak, even the most powerful is weak
Gee, wonder where Trump learned it from?
It’s Fascism 101.
the followers [of fascism] must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
– Umberto Eco, Ur-Fascism https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascismThe loser’s flag, the confederate’s is flown today in my neighborhood, and they are determined to make us all losers.
You don’t need to learn it from anywhere. Look at the stereotype of cats who love affection when they want it even if you’re busy but who get mad when you initiate when all they’re doing is lying there. All these people have really “done” is not grow out of being whiny, bitch-ass toddlers. They’re just deeply insecure, immature assholes with zero compassion or self-awareness.
You just described my ex. I’ve never known a cat to be that shitty to me though.
While simultaneously having compassion and empathy for billionaire fascist. lol.
And how NATO does propaganda against both Russia and China.
Oh? Can you give an example? Because I’ve mostly seen official channels take Russia very seriously
To stealman it, I’d say it’s in how China has a large navy that’s also incapable, or has extensive R&D that copies the west’s homework and only makes cheap parts. Russia is both incapable of taking on Ukraine and justifies the need for much greater EU military expenditure.
There’s some nuance to this. China’s navy is large, but it’s mostly built as a green water navy (close to their shores), and not a blue water navy. Russia can’t take Ukraine, but it’s because both the EU and US have been feeding them, and US support is drying up.
China’s R&D, however, is something I think we should take more seriously. They’ve done most of the practical applications of new battery tech and have spun up an EV industry from scratch.
To stealman it
Is that when you steal your talking points from someone else?
I mean, these arguments really only work if you disregard that NAFO isn’t NATO.
Taken very seriously while it’s economy is in shambles and it’s military is depleted to the point of relying on Soviet era relics?
Why can’t both of those be true? Should Europe ignore Russia until they CAN march into Amsterdam? There are far too many corpses in Ukraine not to take them seriously, regardless of economics.
Is your face okay after walking into the point that hard and not seeing it?
LOL like Russia isn’t depicted the same way by our propaganda? GTFOH…
Sorry, no Orcs allowed, you’ll have to leave.
I just commented to get rid of the 88 count. Smash the fash.
Schrodinger’s immigrant: they’re both lazy moochers and taking all our jobs.
Schrodinger’s immigrant for the Trump era: they’re all criminals and have no criminal records… clearly because they’re such good criminals.
Umberto Eco (a survivor of Mussolini’s actual regime) identified this as one of the core traits of Ur-Fascism. Specifically, #8…
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies.… However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
You will note that Republicans check literally every single box of Umberto Eco’s list.

That was my same thought. The enemy is too strong but also too weak?
I am always glad when people share this because whenever I bring it up IRL it seems like nobody else has read it.
I think of this every time I see some egregiously fascist behavior on display in the Trump admin getting defended by people who think the left is overreacting. I wish more people knew about this and understood that it’s not some left wing looney saying it, it’s a guy who lived through it and can identify it for what it truly is.
We are outnumbered, as usual.
But we also outnumber THEM!
That’s n-
You know yeah okay yes, good point
Is Doublethink a more adequate term?
Yes
Yes. And no.
Schrödingers free speech: You can tweet everything unless it’s against Muskrats opinion.
To be fair, they have a problem with trans women in women’s sports. They don’t have a problem with trans men in men’s sports because they can’t imagine a situation where a trans man could possibly compete with “real” men.
It goes along with their idea that women are weak, so women are weak athletes and women’s sports teams are weak. If you accept that, it’s not a big stretch to think that someone who has gone through puberty as a male will have an automatic huge advantage in every women’s sport because their body has male characteristics.
On the other hand to them, the military is the ultimate in manly activities. Anybody other than a pure, manly man will be at a disadvantage in anything military. That includes trans men, trans women and regular women. Right now the focus is on trans people, but I’m sure they’ll want to kick women out of the military too eventually.
So, if you accept that logic, it makes sense that trans women are too weak for the military, but too strong for women’s sports. There’s no contradiction there.
It also goes along with their mentality that trans men are simply poor, defenseless women who have been brainwashed into wanting to become strong, powerful men. And also how trans women must be mentally ill. Because how could anyone not want to be a man? Women who want to be men are understandable but misguided, and men who want to be women are sick and to be both pitied and hated - but especially hated.
To be fair
Who are you being fair to?
Not to any particular person, just fair to the truth of the situation. You know, not whacking at straw men.
The truth of the situation is that fascists no consistency of morality or logic. You don’t need to help them.
You also don’t need to lie about their beliefs. When you do that, it just makes people wonder why you’re lying and why you can’t stick to the truth if your point is so strong.
They have no beliefs. That’s the core characteristic of fascism. Their beliefs change after a millisecond if the strongman says so.
There are fewer trans atheists in college sports than there are kids with measles in Texas. Guess which one they want people to focus on.
Also, what the fuck ever happened to “Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”? You cannot tell me in good faith that the <gasp> ‘trans threat*’ is so great a crisis of inequity and unfairness that the right wing really gives a damn about that.
*sarcasm, people.
This is a mixed metaphor. Women are kept out of frontline combat much like they’re sidelined to the WNBA: segregated under the guise of inclusion.
