You can't do that with people who are fundamentally opposed to basic principles like democracy, freedom, unity, and justice. Liberals have always tried to compromise with Fascists, it does not work. I agree. We should seek to understand why the West is experiencing authoritarian movements and what role material conditions play in this rejection of democracy. However, that's not what you do. You just equate the Republicans with the Democrats no matter how extreme the Republicans become.

OH REALLY?! And why do you think that is? Why do you think people trapped in an open air prison are willing to support a gang of thugs who promise to end the blockade?

Yes, it's not enough to just sit back and let progress happen. People have to continue fighting. This is why your enlightened centrism is so harmful. But people generally do want justice and if we can hold on to our democracy, we will continue moving towards a more fair society. Especially now that younger people are more politically engaged than they have been in previous decades.

Yes, I understand there will be homophobes who don't like seeing gay people. There will also be sexists who don't like that some of the Avengers are women. This is just another argument for representation. We want homosexuality and feminism to be normalized to the point where homophobia and sexism are as uncommon as possible. And it's been working, as every generation has been less bigoted than the last.

Public schools don't have the funding they need to give them their own classes. Plus, autistic kids do need to spend time around non-autists in order to learn how to function in society. So even if that funding was there, most kids would still come into contact with autists at some point. Well by teaching kids about autism, we're teaching them about tolerance for people with disabilities, whether mental or physical. Most people are not in a wheelchair, but children's media has had shows like Pelswick in order to teach kids about tolerance as well as give representation to kids with physical disabilities. I gotta say, this really just sounds like contrarianism. Like, what is the issue here? We're destigmatizing having a disability while also teaching compassion? Is this bad?

Context matters. Also, your meme is wrong because that's not how taxation works.

But we already teach kids about heterosexuality and have been doing so for as long as humans have existed. Like I said before, almost every Disney movie depicts heterosexuality in some form. Why can't we do the same thing with homosexuality? Would it be wrong to have a movie where the princess is rescued by another princess and marries her?

Why not? The question was about teaching kids about abnormal mental conditions. This would be like teaching kids about how some people need a wheelchair or glasses.

You know that scene in the Dark Knight where Batman is like "What were you trying to prove? That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you? You're alone!" Fascists are kinda like the Joker here. You keep saying "nobody believes you" but the majority of Americans support kids beings taught that LGBT people exist. They don't think it's a "very advanced sexual issue" when you tell kids that some children have two mothers or two fathers. You guys didn't want to free the slaves. You lost. You didn't want women voting. You lost. You didn't want religious minorities in the country. You lost. You didn't want gay people getting married. You lost. You're not the majority. Most people aren't as ugly as you.

So a nazi is someone who has all those traits? Is that what you're trying to say?

On the children's TV show, Sesame Street, there's a character with autism. The point is to teach children about how some of the kids in their classes may have autism. The show explains that kids with autism may come off as rude, but they're not trying to be. Is any of that wrong? Why?

Well yeah, Jews who disagree with me are bigger nazis than Hitler and Himmler combined.

Nope, you just posted a picture. What is a nazi? What traits must one have to be considered a nazi?

It depends. Do you mean we should normalize mental health the same way we normalize physical health? I think we should teach kids to treat mentally ill people with the same compassion we treat paraplegic people. And we should definitely destigmatize mental illness so people are more willing to go to therapy if they need it. As for sexual behavior, that's more of a high school thing. With grade school, we should just have LGBT representation. Though high school sex ed does need to expand too. One of the reasons gay and bi people have more STDs is because sex ed is heterocentric and super vanilla.

Most people in the western countries accept them, but when it comes to trans identity, it's only a slight majority. And part of acceptance on a social level is representation. If gay people are completely invisible in children's media, then we clearly haven't accepted gay rights as a society. Like I said earlier, Disney depicts heterosexuality in virtually every movie. Why can't homosexuality be depicted in at least a few Disney movies with mild regularity? Ever hear of the Scully Effect? This is why representation matters. https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/xfiles-dana-scully-effect-women-stem/

No, you posted a meme. When I asked if, by the meme's definition, Trump is a nazi, you exploded in anger like a typical crying conservative.

I only started trolling when you ran away from a simple question because you're a beta.

You understand that I was using it to imply a significant majority, but you're also claiming you believe that I was saying it's an exact number? So you're just trolling?

So are you playing Devil's Advocate? If that's the case, I can understand, but it sounds like you're making crazy arguments just to troll. Like this: You know I wasn't saying the exact number is 95%. I said "when like 95%," as in the vast majority of the Right is still supporting trumpian fascism. So are you trolling or are you being legit here?

But do you actually believe your own arguments or are you just trolling? What do you mean when you say you're doing satire?

When you say your account is satire, do you mean that I shouldn't take anything you say seriously?

FFS. I said "You can't say that authoritarianism is a fringe view on the Right when it's like 95% of the Right." I don't know the exact numbers, but clearly the vast majority of conservatives still support Trump. Every poll, regardless of where it comes from, confirms this. Trump is easily the front-runner for the 2024 primary. And the runner-up is DeSantis, who's even more extreme.

So back to the real world. Trump is the front-runner for the Republicans primary. The GOP and right-wing media are still supporting Trump, even if they secretly hate him, because they know that nearly all of their supporters still love Trump. Republicans are also passing voter-restriction laws wherever they can. How many conservatives need to embrace authoritarianism before you accept that conservatives are authoritarians?

It's a real word when it's used in good faith. But when you say "indoctrination" you really just mean education about facts that you don't like. Conservatives don't have a problem with right-wing children's media. So you're lying when you say the drag queens are in sexy outfits. As for the rest, nobody is denying there is an agenda here. The agenda is to normalize the breaking of gender roles. And the reason the Republicans got stomped in the midterms is because normies are generally alright with this. You keep saying normal people don't trust the "far-left agenda." The truth is that your version of "far-left" is the normie view in America and most of the western world. No, I said that Disney depicts straight couples all the time. And you were incorrect because even if we're just talking marriage, I said that the movie Descendants features a straight married couple with a son. You don't have to admit you're wrong, I know conservatives are too cowardly to ever do so. The point is, children's media regularly depicts heterosexuality and it's never an issue. It's only an issue for the fascists when it's gay people represented in any way. Source? But this isn't really about age, it's about censoring ideas that the government doesn't like. "And Tango Makes Three" doesn't have any explicit material. But because it's about two male penguins adopting a baby penguin, it was banned. Why can't you just admit that you're fascist? Do you not think you can make good arguments for fascism being a better system than democracy? We can argue fascism vs socialism if you weren't such a sissy-ass beta.

There are some Democrats who want to defund the police, but they're a tiny minority. So it's fair to say that defunding the police is a fringe idea within the Democratic Party. But when it comes to, not just Republicans, but the Right as a whole, the vast majority of them have embraced authoritarianism. You can't say that authoritarianism is a fringe view on the Right when it's like 95% of the Right. Conservatism was founded as an authoritarian philosophy and it never really moved away from that. Conservatives have always been as fascist as they felt they could get away with within the confines of a democratic society.
