    Hyper-masculinist fascism, no less. This is why we no longer have words to describe genuinely bad things. I wonder if I'm a hyper-masculinist fascist too? I tend to agree with the first two men rather a lot.https://twitter.com/2Cthulhu4School/status/976300630770790401 …

    Oh, Boghossian was fairly reasonable 8 years ago. But he, Lindsey, Peterson and so on have all dived off the deep end into hyper-masculinist fascism.

        Usually one can discount words that have no meaningful opposite term. So is marginally-feministic fascism a useful phrase? If not, he simply called the gentlemen fascists, which they are not.

        I noticed the other tactic is now that you are arguing in "bad faith." I believe bad faith arguing would include "Name-calling, smearing, and personal attacks" if it's even a real thing. Pulling out the smear of "fascism" is bad faith. @2Cthulhu4School doesn't get it.

        So you get to mislabel people to set up straw men but nobody else does? This is how we know you're a bad faith arguer.

        What I find odd is would Cthulhu really be against school shootings? I would think Cthulhu cultists would be all about getting shot (and eaten) _first,_ lol.

        “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.” Apparently this translates to hyer-masculinist fascism.

        I feel like these people write their tweets the way South Park writers suggested family guy comes up with their jokes. Combine bad words from a bad word bucket at random.

        Maybe not a "hyper-masculinist fascist," but possibly hyper-masculinist fascist-adjacent. /s 😂😂

        & oh yeah fascism encouraged everyone to say exactly what they thought & engage in entrepreneurial pursuits or was that western democracy. I’m confused.

        I'm pretty sure what they describe as "hyper-masculinist" is just "logical". That's pretty sexist, really.
