@the_moviebob Mr Bob, you used to do amazing work with The Big Picture (do you still do that series?) and you also support many politically Leftist groups, so can you please explain something I am struggling with greatly... (any help would be greatly appreciated)...

@the_moviebob My question I have been struggling with is why so many groups (3rd Wave Feminists and Antifa spring to mind) embody what they claim to be against? For example those most vocal against fascism behave as dictionary definition fascists. Why?? :(1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

I... believe that your premise is extremely flawed from the outset (and also The Big Picture is back now that Escapist is run by decent people again: https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/series/the-big-picture/ … )

I have yet to find a counter proof to refute the premise. There are good individuals, but when taken as groups most political and social organizations are practicing the opposite of what they preach. All across the spectrum. From NRA to Antifa to the "Fair and Balanced" Media

Ideological purity is generally a fallacy in the real world when confronting real issues - the old "vegan lost at sea with only a fishing rod, do you fish or starve?" thing

The problem there is your hypothetical Vegan is in a life and death situation. These groups of people burning buildings and cars, beating and murdering people, and selling the legal rights of US citizens are under no pressures or dangers whatsoever. So again I ask WHY? :(

Because of what just recently happened vis-a-vi the Supreme Court, there's a very strong likelihood that reproductive rights will be curtailed or restricted for millions of women. That's a real thing that happened with real danger. Also this, from today:pic.twitter.com/se78PA9tfN

Before I was ten years old 4 different women had raped me. My parents moved us to a different state because in that state the law said ONLY MEN CAN RAPE so they couldn't prosecute those women. The hospital that circumcised me cut me bad. Where are MY RIGHTS?

Those are terrible injustices, and you'll find that from infant's rights re: circumcisions and arcane gender-definition in sexual-assault laws it's been activist orgs identifying as (or allied with) feminism (which is generally defined more broadly then only "womens rights")...

I believe you are mistaken, yes individual Feminists have spoken out for infants rights, but modern 3rd wave Feminism as a doctrine is vehemently pro circumcision, and pro abortion, anti family and anti fathers rights. No better than any other political organization.
