    So why post this here and not /politics?

    Also, the dude is a troll, if the name didn’t give it away.

      I deleted my other response to give a more detailed one now that I have the time.

      So why post this here and not /politics?

      This is the conservative community, and this article is about conservatism. That alone means that this article is relevant. Additionally, this article was already posted at c/politics, so there would be no point making a second post there. Third, there is sentiment amongst conservatives that democrats are authoritarians instead of republicans, and articles like these clearly show the opposite. I had a whole conversation about /u/10a about this exact sort of thing.

      Also, the dude is a troll

      I’m not. Just because somebody disagrees with you doesn’t mean that they are a troll. If you want to know what a troll looks like, then look no further than the guy that got banned the other day for telling people to shoot themselves for being democrats.

      if the name didn’t give it away.

      I just couldn’t think of a name tbh. And conservatives have a habit of shooting/killing/calling for the death of political opponents (see quote above), so I had no intention of using an identifiable name.

      Responding to your other comment here

      it’s not really suited here

      “A community to discuss conservative politics and views.” is the purpose of this community. This article is about conservitve politics and views. I don’t know what else to tell you.

      And every time you do, all my posts get buried for the next few days.

      If your ideas cannot survive in the free market of ideas, then that is on you.

        I’m not saying you’re a troll, the jury is still out on that. But I’m saying the guy who calls himself stupider is a troll.

      Right. So he can advocate for overthrowing the government and then we you call him out on it, he can say, “Hahaha! You’re an idiot for believing me!” And then he’ll happily watch as others overthrow the government should it come to that.

        Mate, if you think a guy who calls himself stupider is being serious, I have a bridge to sell you, it was designed by Ben Dover and Mike Ock.

          From the Rhetoric of Fascism:

          Fascism first secures advantage through playful spectacles of a rhetoric both critical toward and within democracy.

          Stew Peters is hilarious. And it is ridiculous to believe someone that calls himself that.

          But the Just Jokes thing is a trope.

          There is overlap between this trope and emotional abuse.

          It’s the same thing.

          You can try to sell me whatever you want, honestly. But that’s fundamentally different from exercising your supposed free speech any platform to advocate the violent overthrow of the government.

        Fluff or no, it’s not really suited here, except for brigaders to brigade some more. And every time you do, all my posts get buried for the next few days.
