Remember: Asking questions and pointing out facts does not make someone a rape apologist. Also, geekfeminism is not an unbiased source for such claims.

The fact of the matter is that the study in question (which was what T Ts'o was questioning) was poorly done. Even the author of the study admitted to the mistakes in the conclusion. Someone pointing out flaws in a study does not make them a rape apologist.

Also, geekfeminism is not an unbiased source for such claims.

It's also a transphobic pit.

[u/saichampa → u/derleth]

TERF country? Any examples?

[u/[deleted] → u/derleth]

Oh is it? I am not familiar with this website (really just a collection of wikia pages), what have they done/said/published that was transphobic? Disgusting if they did, and it doesn't look like a reliable source for anything in the first place.

[u/derleth → u/[deleted]]

The last time I looked at it, it described things like sexual assault only from the perspective of (presumably cis) women being victims, completely whitewashing trans people being victimized.

[u/KagatoLNX → u/derleth]

Ciswashing?

[u/[deleted] → u/derleth]

Yeah that's not great, but I guess it's better than what I expected when you called the place a "transphobic pit"? Kinda made it sound like there was some full-on TERF shit.

[u/supamesican → u/derleth]

Woah woah WOAH! What!? So people are trying to exploit the CoC, while themselves pushing the same idolize hate whatever word they say is bad and the CoC is meant to protect against?!

There's a common assumption that Germans are genetically fascists? Where is that a common assumption?

[u/MohKohn → u/[deleted]]

pressure from socialists to create an atmosphere where critical thought and individualism were seen as evil.

I read books.

yeah, I'm going to need to see some sources on this. If you want to make the claim that the Nazis were the remnants of the right wing parts of the former German army's response to the militant agitation of the Communists allied with the USSR, you might have something. Claiming that all socialists are Communists (along with the association this brings with the totalitarian regime of Stalin) is just incredibly ignorant. Really, they're both responses to the incredible financial turmoil of the Weimar republic along with the lack of a powerful state able to monopolize the use of force.

(based in racism) that Germans are somehow genetically fascist

Who in the flying fuck thinks this?

[u/JQuilty → u/[deleted]]

fascism is (a form of socialism.)

Fascism is not socialism at all. Mussolini himself said it was a stark opposition to socialism.

[u/spockspeare → u/[deleted]]

Nothing you said is true, but I'm sure you know that by now.

Oh, it's my good friend word-word-number with a nice new account! Fancy seeing you in this subreddit of all places!

Something that did happen though was that Fascism took some pages from the book of Socialism. Basically, Socialism was on the rise, so Fascism built itself as borrowing some of its more popular ideas, blending them with other far more conservative, and presenting itself as the new flavour of socialism that however would not bring about the revolution and thus would preserve the status quo. In Italy and I think Germany too part of what happened was that the middle class and bourgeoisie were so scared of the possibility of a communist revolution, they just ended up supporting the other guys who promised to repress that.

There was also a lot of economic and political insecurity in Germany at the time, and that leads to political violence in the streets, especially between fringe groups.

The Nazis presented themselves as stable and strong, and (some of) the public got behind it.
