Once upon a time, there was (and still is) a user by the name of u/AaronVsMusic (don't worry, he won't get the ping). I was on r/facepalm, they were talking about some protests in Blackpool, when I came across this comment by the aforementioned OP.[somewhere in image 1] I saw a problem with the last comment in particular, and commented this:[image 4]
You took about two minutes to write that, which probably means it was ill-informed. But hey, I'll make it easy on you: "fascist" doesn't mean "people I disagree with", fascists are people who haven't abandoned the ideas of Hitler or Mussolini.
Very interesting that the first thing you say when you see a conservative Canadian is "omg he must be a fascist." This isn't a friend or foe situation.
If you don't like people not understanding your blatant conspiracy theories, then either prove them, or don't speak of them.
Also, seeing you write Poilievre's name as "Poliviere" tells me that you only heard of him through soapbox speeches from your drunk college roommates. But yeah, "fascist", coming from the same person who made fun of a traumatized cat being swung around by its head; "Did she name her Tetherball?"([image 3])
You are worse than an actual fascist. You're weird.
And that's all it took for this guy to block me like a child. No swearing needed.
Talk about "young and ignorant."
This blocking feature is extremely broken. It can be used as a tool for self-isolation from other ideologies, which can lead to deliberate conversion to extremism. This actually has me worried for what might come in his future.
