    Fascism and hypocrisy overlap often times.

    Power is not just ‘hard’, it’s also ‘soft’. Fascists often live in denial of that fact. If you as a “man” need a fist to make people listen - because you can’t do so by your own word, then you already lost.

        This is exactly it and why I hate seeing all the self congratulatory gotchas on social media as if they care about the logical consistency of anything they are saying.

        You didn’t just get one over on them, you expended precious mental effort arguing against a firehose of bullshit, and not fighting against it.
