  1. Antifa and anti-rape is the same.

    Rape is a terror-regime over someone else's body, it's a form of fascism, an expression of fascism.

    Rapists NEED authoritarianism, need fascism, to cover up their crimes and get away with them and hold potential victims down with fear and indoctrinate them and bystanders that they are not responsible for their actions, their victims are. If we weren't cowed by the constant atmosphere of oppression and threats of retaliation if we step out of line too much (for example by killing a rapist, something that should be fucking uncontroversial to do ffs), then rape culture could not stick around. Neither could fascism.

    Yes, rape culture is part of democracies too, and even alive and kicking within leftist and communist and anarchist spaces. But that just shows how entrenched totalitarian attitudes and behaviours are.

    Fascism lurked behind the facade of democracy and was ready to re-emerge and it is now emboldened to do so. This general dynamic was not a surprise to those who paid attention, except maybe how fast and far-reaching it is currently.

    It won't last. Fascism and rape culture will die. I will kill them personally.

    Yes, rape culture is older than modern fascism, it grew in the patriarchal, authoritarian societies that eventually gave rise to fascism. And it is part of democracies too, and even alive and kicking within leftist and communist and anarchist spaces. But that just shows how entrenched totalitarian attitudes and behaviours are.

    Fascism lurked behind the facade of democracy since the 20th century and was ready to (re-)emerge and it is now emboldened to do so. This general dynamic was not a surprise to those who paid attention, except maybe how fast and far-reaching it is currently.

  6. Goal Post Shifting

    I understand this as a manipulative technique that combines totalist reframing with thought terminating cliches. You or your group or ideology want to exert undue influence over someone. But in order to do so efficiently, they have to accept that you deserve to do that and that they need or want to be controlled.

    This central lie can be justified by any kind of system, anything can be co-opted. Neat! No one is safe! As long as you keep the victim from seeing the contradicions! They have to freely chose to give up free choice... tricky.

    But never fear. If they ever question you (the group, leadership, dogma), turn it around on THEM immediately! Shift the goalposts from proving that you're legit, to making them prove that they're not complicit.

    If they still try to weasel out, proclaim that they're ignoring important details in their misguided attemt to put together the bigger picture. Point them to a detail that is supposedly relevant (bonus point if it isn't) and that is a thought terminating cliche. End of discussion.

    Or you complain that they pick apart a detail of something that their limited little mind can't grasp so, you admonish them: How dare you lose sight of the bigger picture! Tell them a thought terminating cliche that vaguely sounds deep.

    The less your attack fits what they actually say and do, the better! It keeps them busy.

    You can do this all day.
