ah, so, apparently, fascism is caused by decades of sexual oppression, denial, and self-hatred erupting and being directed outward at others.

this would be far more interesting if it didn’t also mean the downfall of democracy.

I just listened to a Behind the Bastards episode where basically…yeah, that’s been the prevailing theory.

Obviously, I’m both being sarcastic and massively oversimplifying things. This is just one tiny splinter of the cause of fascism, not the entirety of it.

It’s all about sex, Freud was right. Even if not the homosexuality then about immigrants taking ‘our women’. It’s all because we have monkey brains

Wait hold on

Why would cucks bother them? Isn’t that like a conservative thing?

Am I seriously missing something here?

Genuinely wonder if there’s some correlation in there. It’d be fascinating if global acceptance of homosexuality would eliminate fascist tendencies. I’d watch that movie.

I’ll never understand it. Just put on sunglasses and a hat and go check out Pride once. Watch gay people be out and proud and happy and accepting.

“But I’m not gay! I’m straight! … I just sometimes like sucking cock is all. That’s not gay!”

Literally what most people on Grindr are like in my area.

You’d think that being bi would fix this but they might actually hate being bi more.

If you’re a Republican politician and you admit you’re queer, that huge, reliable network of evangelicals you built up will drop you.

What if they have? I think it’s more about how deep their belief is that they must be accepted by their community. So them going to pride might actually make them mad and fuel their hate.

“Why do these people get to be accepted by their peers and I’m not, well let me fix that”

Well congrats, bud: you also convinced me you were gay when you were an adult.

Ya know, that kinda better explains the Theil connection. They have that in common?

I’ve speculated (and I don’t believe I’m alone) that the reason Peter Theil was so supportive of Elon Musk is that he either really wanted to fuck him or did.

Peter Thiel, one of the top GOP funders (and likely reason for JD Vance pick) is openly gay. Of course for him the reasoning is simple: he has a lot of money and wants policies that favor people with a lot of money. I’ve known a number of rich people in my life, and many (not all) have bought into a sort of wealthy identity, thinking of wealthy people as superior to non-wealthy people, and that the ideal social structure is a rigid hierarchy where the “deserving” are rewarded with luxuries and the “inferior” working class deserves a life of cheap labor. Psychological incentives strongly encourage this, because otherwise these people would have to believe they are getting more than they deserve, and that they themselves are too weakened by a life of luxury to be as supportive of the as fortunate than they should be. Accordingly, this identity can be more powerful than something like gay identity.
