    I think we have a relict from the mid-2000s in our midst, back when half the internet was in open war with furries.

      Guy uses “degenerates” straight and is complaining about commies, progressives and furries. 90% they’re a cryptofash.

        I’m too lazy to look through their comment history at the moment, but you’re probably right.

        Hating on beehaw makes perfect sense, then. Fascists and an empathy-negating neurosis, generally due to early childhood trauma in that area, name a more iconic duo. All those other things (commies, progressives, furries) actually have their fascist versions but hippies? Forget it. Incompatible in principle.

          There’s a lot of weird hippie cults, including Charles Manson’s. If your hippieism leans towards the aesthetic then it’s perfectly compatible with fascism. Not to mention the weird Californian ideology that isn’t straight fascism but sure is authoritarian in its anti-authoritarianism.

          Fascism is by definition syncretic. It eats whatever it finds and makes more of itself, with rigid power structures and might makes right logic. Every large enough movement can have a fascist version of itself.

        Thank you for pointing this out, I was quite surprised it got this many upvotes.

      I know, it must be hard for kids to understand a time before they were born, but don’t worry, someday you’ll be explaining the facts of life to youngsters yourself.
