      My favorite stage of fascism is when there are grainy newspaper pictures of the dictator’s body being paraded for the citizens to witness.

      Not sure if we’ll get that, but a man can dream.

    Transvestigation

    Why, just why. Certain words should never have been invented, why was this one?

    Even if she is trans (she’s not) who fucking cares? It’s nine none of your goddamn business, and again, who cares, and why care? If she’s trans, well good on her because she looks great, but who caaaaaarres?

    And even if you’d care at all, why care so much to spend time on it at all?

    I can only imagine that secretly these guys hope she’s trans because secretly they’re gay but two guys kissing is yucky to them, so a beautiful girl with a penis would be awesome for them.

    That’s literally the only way that this nonsense makes any sense to me

    Edit: fixed typo

      This is a group of people who are almost entirely led by, or are themselves, incels who grew up and got attention for screaming about how bad women are and how everyone needs to be an “alpha male” to succeed. They’re not healthy. They are fascists, and every fascist movement has been the product of sexual insecurity.

      There’s a Ven Diagram out there of conservatives who are obsessed with if people are trans, and men who are afraid to touch their ass in the shower to clean because it’s “gay” and those circles almost line up perfectly.

      This comment is about pretty much everything the far right is obsessed with.

      Project 2025 is basically just a small group of rich, hyper Christian fanatics plotting to dismantle the entire country for the express purpose of forcing everybody to live like that small group thinks we should by penalty of imprisonment if not death.

        Yep, pretty much

        Once trump is gone (and he will be, soon enough) can we please:

        a) Put a boat load of restrictions on religions. Churches and religions pay taxes, period. They can’t break any human rights, they can’t have any of their materials in any school, or even be talked about, unless if to teach about the horrors and plain stupidity of religions.

        b) place a hard cap on personal wealth. Create a load more tax brackets that also keep personal wealth into account and anything over a million goes 100% to taxes. No. More. Millionaires. The world would be such a better place. Governments would get boat loads of money for projects, free healthcare, free education, free public transport, universal basic income…

      My favorite part is that I think it’s Eliott Page, but some trans person who was already famous before transitioning had already been targeted by them, but they had to maintain the story so they argued he was mtftm

      That or the fact that Candice Owens being sued is in a defamation case against the first lady of France for accusing her of being trans. Like, she absolutely was a predator towards her husband when she was his teacher, why do you need to keep accusing her of something that shouldn’t be a problem.

      Has she?

      I’m not really into celebrity worshipping but the little I know of her, she only did a jeans commercial that started all this. I doubt that the commercial was her idea, this was a marketing agency that came up with the idea, the concept, the things that should be said and she was hired as an actress to say it.

      I’ve seen quite a few actors say or do things in commercials that they normally wouldn’t do or say themselves

      In not trying to defend her, I’m no fan, I just think (unless there is way more that I’m not aware of) that the hatred towards her is a little bit over the top

      Just because they think she’s trans doesn’t mean they aren’t attracted to her.

      If you’re ever curious, hop on over to the dumpster fire that is 4Chan’s porn boards. Half the posts are trans women fucking cis men, and the ones that aren’t are typically gay or interracial cuckoldry.

        I think they think sexual dominance is a form of dominating their fear, but eventually it doesnt get them hard anymore so they go perverse and wish to be dominated by what they fear to give them stimulas that they lack from years of wearing out their dopamine receptors. But then they internalize the idea that all trans people must want to fuck them and they become only sexual objects.

        But hey, that’s just a theory, a fuck theory!

    In social media groups and private channels, adherents share photos and discuss whether people like John Krasinski or Erin Darke have had gender-affirming surgeries and/or perform blood rituals to Baphomet.

      The transvestigation people are absolutely insane. They’ve made up this whole universe where every celebrity is trans and they’re being transed for the glory of Satan/ to destroy the family. It’s incredibly weird. It goes from casual transphobia to belief in a satanic cabal in seconds. It’s whole logic is basically “there is no variation in human body in regards to sex, therefore, any variation is proof that someone is trans”. It’s basically Incel body rating for terfs.

      They tried to claim that Andre the giant was FTM, which is hilarious if you know anything about Transmascs.

      One section has declared that Dylan mulvaney is a “Double flipper”, who was born female, was made to transition to male, and then transitioned to female.

      They will literally declare that folds in clothing or proof that someone has a penis. Completely innocent folds in clothing.

      They’re absolutely insane.

        The Satanic Panic was around long before D&D and heavy metal music and it never really left. It just moved on to new targets. Someone, somewhere has always been doing something satanic as a plot, it’s just easier to find people talking about it in the age of social media.

        Same with conspiracy theories. The alt-right never invented anything new, they just recycled things that wingnuts and cranks have been spouting for centuries and adapted them to modern settings. Look at the parallels between “Hillary tortures children and drinks their blood to stay young” and the old Blood Libel conspiracy for example.

        I go back and forth as to why I think this kind of thing is so enduring. Either people need to believe in some kind of evil because it allows them to feel good about being on the “right” side of something. It could make them feel smart to find “secrets” that people won’t openly admit (because they aren’t true). Or they feel some kind of cognitive dissonance if they don’t have an enemy and invent one to quiet it. Or maybe it’s just a convoluted effort of taking control over something they aren’t comfortable with in a “he who can destroy a thing, controls the thing” sort of way. Maybe all of them even.

        I dunno, like you said, people are goddamn stupid and fucking nuts sometimes. Shame they’re so often dangerous because of it.

      Baphomet is the goat-headed humanoid, usually depicted with one hand showing two fingers pointed up and the other hand with two fingers pointed down (as above, so below). Usually associated with the occult or pagan religions, today it’s usually referred to as the Satan goat.

          I wanted to, but most of the ones I found had Baphomet depicted with female-presenting breasts, and I wanted to ensure I wasn’t going to break any rules by sharing it.

          Edit:

          If you’d like a more cartoonish version of him, then this image taken from the game The Binding of Isaac should suffice, even though he’s labeled as “Satan” when you fight him.

            Because male and female he created him in his own image. I’m of the school that t’selah was misinterpreted, eg s/rib/side. I do know that in the Jewish faith the Adam/Atom/chosen species was androgyne, some rabbis argue intersex.

          They are dumb, but baphomet is awesome and adorable. Often depicted with a Solve et Coagula on it’s stomach you may recognize as a medical icon. It symbolizes balance and duality, dating back to when we thought the key to curing sickness was “balancing” the 4(?) humors(liquids of life).

            Fun fact, one of the earliest known usages of Baphomet appeared during the trials of the Knights Templar — where, surprise surprise, they were accused of worshipping it as a demonic idol.

            So, as much as it is a symbol of balance, it’s also historically a tool used by Christians (or more accurately their kings) to paint their targets as ‘evil’ or ‘demonic’.

            Maybe fun was the wrong word.

          She basically said she doesn’t really like to tell people what to think, and doesn’t comment on positive or negative feedback about herself but that on staying quiet about this one she is being painted as something she isn’t.

          She said she is against things that divide people, but is a registered Republican so 🤷
