hmm? what’s that? oh, you don’t like my seeds? *evolves into a fruit that bears no seeds but is now a monoculture that is especially susceptible to pests and disease* how about that idiot
Alt-right = could be a neo-Nazi, granted, but it really depends on the individual and their individual beliefs.
Anti-SJW = Someone that is against the actions and beliefs of “social justice warriors,” i.e. far left extremists.
Egalitarian = Someone that believes in the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities. [Note: anyone at all can call themselves “egalitarian” if they believe in principles of true equality, including feminists, anti-feminists, leftists, conservatives etc.]
Meninist = Anti-feminists that mock feminism or much younger users that don’t realise the term “meninist” came from a Twitter account that parodies feminism.
MRA = Men’s Rights Advocate.
Could you please not reduce the term “neo-Nazi” to mean nothing more than “people I don’t like and don’t agree with,” considering that there really are already too many actual neo-Nazis that are ignored, including on this very website? It turns the actual term into nothing more than a joke that others then won’t take seriously, and, as you may have guessed from my url, I’m pretty well invested in making sure the term “neo-Nazi” means “neo-Nazi,” considering what actual neo-Nazis say, believe and do.
It’s a slap in the face to randomly label people neo-Nazis when they’re very clearly not.
I mean technically you’re (mostly) right – but they’re still fascists. They’re all still full of hate and bullshit.
So nah I won’t stop calling a nazi a nazi.
Also, “far-left extremist” is such a fucking oxymoron? SJWs are neither far-left nor extreme, they’re just the baseline of human decency. Opposing facism isn’t “extreme” or “just as bad as facism”.
Also, “eglatarian” is a term that’s been stolen by anti-feminists – who are, you know, fascists.
MRAs, they’re literally just misogynists looking for a more “acceptable” term for their bigotry. Same with “alt-right”.

No, only fascists are fascists.
So nah I won’t stop calling a nazi a nazi.
So you’d rather ignore something that’s actually a threat to non-white and Jewish communities because you like using a very real evil as a buzzword? That’s disgusting.
Also, “far-left extremist” is such a fucking oxymoron?
It isn’t. I’m a leftist. Here’s an example for you. I support the government helping people who are in need through taxation and regulation. Far left extremists support the evils of communism. Literally any belief can have extremists, and you can’t possibly be so idiotic that you think that the Left can’t be extreme.
SJWs are neither far-left nor extreme, they’re just the baseline of human decency.
“The baseline of human decency”? Self-labelled “SJWs” have pushed the idea that Jews control the government, that the antisemitic burning of synagogues and smashing of Jewish gravestones is “legitimate criticism of Israel,” and that antisemitism isn’t even a “real problem” today, so unless you want to jump on that bandwagon and tell me that you’re antisemitic and proud, then I wouldn’t be so quick to defend people like that.
Opposing facism isn’t “extreme” or “just as bad as facism”.
Fascism is wrong, and opposing fascism is right, obviously. However, opposing fascism with more fascism – like demanding an end to freedom of speech and labelling literally everyone that you disagree with “evil” to try and manipulate others into hating and ostracising them is just as wrong.
Also, “eglatarian” is a term that’s been stolen by anti-feminists – who are, you know, fascists.
No. Anti-feminists are people that think that feminism, the movement, isn’t needed, or has damaged society. Considering that in the UK, feminists are pushing to stop women from going to prison at all, I oppose that. Again, I’m a woman that completely supports equal rights, but feminism is not helping, it’s hindering. It wants me to feel like a victim and lies about what’s actually going on.
Even so, there are egalitarian feminists – people that I support – who simply focus on fighting for women’s rights and talking about issues about women. There are plenty of issues that women face that need addressing. However, feminism doesn’t talk about them very often, which is why I think those kinds of feminists deserve a ton of backing and support.
MRAs, they’re literally just misogynists looking for a more “acceptable” term for their bigotry.
No, MRAs are people that focus on men’s rights and issues, like male suicide, the fact that female-on-male rape isn’t seen as an issue, the fact that domestic violence as an issue is gendered and other problems.
Just because there are men – and women, as the most prominent MRA is a woman – saying that men have problems, too, that doesn’t mean that women don’t have problems, or that men are more important.
Same with “alt-right”.
Some “alt-righters” are absolutely neo-Nazis. Others are people that don’t agree with the current state of official right-leaning politics.
Again. Stop being so short-sighted by ignoring a Jewish blogger that lost family members due to actual Nazism because you just want to use the term “neo-Nazi” as a buzzword to attack people that you don’t agree with.
It’s downright offensive.
I see a lot of anti-sjws/egalitarians, myself included, that call out the alt-right and actual neo-nazis. I’m against collectivist and totalitarian ideologies in general. I don’t really care what side of the political spectrum they’re on.
It is. It absolutely is hurting people suffering with this condition. Because when you say you’re trans but you don’t have dysphoria - you just “feel like a man because you like to wear suits”; you’re perpetuating the idea that transsexualism is just a reaction to gender roles. People need to know that what I have is a medical condition, not a choice. And you saying that anyone can “choose to be trans” means that the majority of people don’t understand that.
So I have to go stealth and be misunderstood by the majority of people.
On the behalf of dysphoric trans people, stop saying that you’re not hurting anyone.
That’s older than flowering plants, older than trees, 200,000,000 years older than dinosaurs, almost older than vertebrates or animal life on land, and far, far, far older than anything even remotely resembling a mammal.
They’ve survived three ice ages and the rise and fall of the great aquatic invertebrates, the primitive reptiles, the dinosaurs, the warm-water whales, and the mammalian megafauna that came just before us.
They’ve survived virtually unchanged since the dawn of vertebrate life, too. If you found a picture of a primitive shark and showed it to someone who knew nothing about marine life, they’d go “oh, yeah, that’s a weird-looking shark”.
And they are headed for extinction some time in the next century if we continue killing them at this rate. There is still hope, the numbers are lowering more slowly and there are increasing populations in well-managed fisheries, but the four-hundred-and-twenty-million-year-old tops of our food chains are dying out for no other reason than because killing them is profitable.
Spread the word, everyone. Education is the key to getting shark finning banned, to pushing (or forcing) methods of fishing that reduce bycatch, and to convincing people that sharks are not monsters.
