First, why would I go out of my way to watch an ad for jeans? Secondly, I said the ad had the phrase, not that she said the phrase. Though, I was incorrect in the specific phrase, as it was actually "Sidney Sweeny has great jeans." Third, why does this matter to you so much? It really doesn't matter much for me, she's just another worthless celeb with more money than sense like so many others, and she is not even near the top of my list of celebs I despise.

    Because dismissing people complaining about the normalization of bigoted pseudoscience is fucked up. You had to claim people were taking things "to extremes" when you didn't know the context of what you were talking about. I don't care that you didn't watch the fascist ad, I care that you're dismissing people with genuine concerns.

    I don't see how I was dismissing anyone. I flatly gave the facts that I was aware of, and tried to avoid putting any bias into the way I phrased it, allowing for the original commenter to form their own opinion. I think you are trying to find enemies among friends, and trying to paint anyone who isn't aggressively going after this woman and this company as fascist supporters, which is a bad look on you and anyone on the left.

    The fact that you're worrying about the left making themselves look bad when we're at the death camp phase of fascism is telling. I don't think you're a fascist, but I do think you're an uncritical "moderate" who cares more for decorum than substance, and such people are not allies.

    I stated a fact, not any sort of worry. I stopped caring about how I and those like me are viewed some time ago, about when I started calling for the violent overthrow of the government by the people in mass revolt. I care less about randomly attacking celebs online, and far more about purchasing weapons and ammunition for the day when a "No Kings" rally turns into a revolutionary riot. I focus on spreading the word, telling people to arm themselves, organize with their communities, and prepare to fight like hell, while you seem to be far more focused on attacking anyone who does not also share your obsession with attacking celebs. Don't worry though, after the revolution you won't need to worry about going after celebs online anymore, as they, along with all the oligarchs, will be dragged into trials and stripped of their wealth and power.

    You are right though about us not being allies, as I have no need to ally myself with pedantic children on the internet. Oh, and still think I'm a "moderate" at this point, or do I need to go into detail on my plans for putting Republican voters into re-education camps after the revolution? I doubt I will, as you'll find that I am too far left of you and take issue with everything I have said, while once again going back to focusing on attacking celebs instead of doing anything useful, like spreading the word and convincing people to take Real action against the fascists.
