Obligatory “not today” disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn’t going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it’s never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you’re not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn’t know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute
I literally gave you context but good for you that you don’t need to think about these things. Not everyone can feel so safe and comfortable when extremist symbols start to pop up. It is “just a number” and “just a symbol” and “just a joke” until you are surrounded by extremists calling for the heads of those who they hate.
Man you’re paranoid as hell. Maybe you’re right, and Ill regret these words, but I sleep soundly without worrying about Nazis. My biggest worry is my town not getting road construction done in a timely manner. Lot less stress.
This comes across as privileged, not insightful

Like they say, is it paranoia if they are really going after you? We aren’t at a point this is speculative anymore. I have seen people parading in nazi paraphernalia. Just this week in my country a teacher got assaulted and threatened at gunpoint by a cop for reprimanding his son for doing a nazi salute.
I’m a bisexual man. I see how hate movements have successfully codified their persecution of trans people into law in many places around the world, and how they are already moving to attack gay people, women and people of color.
There’s no escaping the stress if this sort of stuff ends up affecting me and the people I care about. The stress might be the least of the problems.
Frankly I don’t know how you can exist on the internet and remain entirely oblivious to how hate movements have gained momentum lately. It’s not a question of whether it’s going to happen, just seems like you are lucky not to get affected by it.

You are showing your whole ass here. just spewing blatantly false and off-topic conservative fearmongering right after lying about how you don’t worry about hate movements. Now it’s clear why, you are part of one.
But just not to leave your bulshit unanswered
This whole argument of yours also reeks of “gay men have the same rights to marry a woman”. Different people in different situations have different needs. Cisgender kids also get treatment for precocious and anomalous puberties, and nobody complains about that.
And it’s interesting the similarities between the current fearmongering against LGBT people with the nazi’s own use of that, with the talk of “seduction of the youth”. It’s worth remembering that the nazi infamous book burns started with an institute that researched sexuality, including topics about gay and trans people. Like they say, history doesn’t repeat but it often rhymes.
Politics and laws are already being actively affected by online extremism. It would be at best complete obliviousness pretending nothing being said matters, but at this point it’s clear you are actively trying to deceive and gaslight, because you spelled out that you are for the persecution, and that’s why you were soooo unconcerned by it.
Puberty Blockers have not been shown to be fully reversible, and there’s many side effects that aren’t. Kids are being sterilized and having their bones fucked up. Blocking puberty now does not mean puberty later. Here’s the NHS on it. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/gender-dysphoria/treatment/ (Scroll down to the section on puberty blocks. TLDR: Long term studies have not been done. Here’s the Mayo Clinic on it, basically saying the same thing. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075 but specifically mentions bone density and fertility.
Define “Far right” and “Nazi” because I heavily suspect you just call everyone to the right of Marx far-right.
Well, at least you agree about the lies.

This is referring to hormone replacement therapy, not puberty blockers. Something that is only prescribed at 16, when they old enough to drive or join the military.
And as much as the long term psychological effects of hormone blockers are unknown, what is know is the psychological effects of forcing transgender kids to undergo biological puberty: Severe gender dysphoria that leads many to commit suicide.
But I guess the distress of trans kids does not matter to you. You just want to pretend that they don’t exist, and mandate it so that they don’t exist.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/in-depth/pubertal-blockers/art-20459075
Same here.
Do you get it though? The irreversible changes in question include what transgender people go through when they don’t have access to puberty blockers.
But if you were so above political extremism, you shouldn’t be getting on the case of trans people. Which you insist on just as you say there’s no need to worry about hate movements.
I just lost my comment when i hit the reply button, and I honestly don’t care enough to type it again.
Long story short: there are side effects, it is not “fully” reversible, fuck you
So you are just burying your head in the sand and pulling conclusion out of your ass since you don’t care how many trans kids die so that the extremely minute number of regretful kids won’t have to deal with treatable temporary side effects?
Very revealing how selective this care for children is.
@Blamemeta @TwilightVulpine when the nazis roll into your town on your newly constructred roads you’ll wish you worried
Its not 1939 man. Nazis are not an immediate threat, its pretty priveledged to worry about Nazis. What, are you also worried about Confederate ghosts? The Hunley sinking your yacht?
@Blamemeta It’s pretty privileged to NOT worry about Nazis. In your understanding, what do you think a Nazi is?
I would argue that it’s incredibly privileged to worry about Nazis. Literally any immediate problem (EQ: Roadwork that never ends) matters more. It’s almost like worrying about the fall of the Roman empire, there’s things to actually worry about, and you’re wasting time and energy on that? If you’re that bored, try getting a hobby, or maybe finding a girlfriend. Something, anything, because guess what? This isn’t 1944, it’s 2023, and we are so far removed from Nazis that it’s more indicative of an extremely bored mind than anything else.
@Blamemeta Would you say the same to people in 1932, before Hitler was elected?
Maybe. Lots of things had to happen before the Nazis went full Nazi, but there were some warning signs. Lots of Jew hate, talk about the “Jewish problem” (their words, not mine) and they were an actual German party at the time. Hard to tell with an alternate reality.
