I should feel bad about upvoting this, but honestly, fuck that guy. I have no qualms about making fun of Nazis.

    I'll be happy when the devs implement the new Woke 2.0 features and remove the unnecessary preamble to any joke about a fascist that would be mean if it was about a good person that shares only the surface level physical traits.

    Like, we're all adults. I think we can stop doing the direct announcements of privilege, the footnotes, etc.

    Like, I'm autistic in many ways. You'd think I'd be the kind of person that likes all these clear and direct types of rules around social conduct. But, they feel like they overwhelm the entire purpose of what they are trying to achieve (in theory). And they just make progressive circles feel like a place where we are just focusing on who knows all the rules and who has the most credit around following them.

    To the point of your comment. I really want to get to the point that we can make a joke about the physical characteristics of a fucking Nazi and not have to have a comment explaining "this would be bad if we were mocking someone in this way that was a good person..."

    I'm not criticizing your comment. It's obviously something everyone is relating to. And you're right.

    I just wanna move beyond the point where so much of the space of the left has to have its discussion covered in preambles to avoid the annoying radical liberals that love to define certain jokes as absolute bigotry and rob them of all context and the position of power (or lack thereof)

    And it's always done only when the target is a right wing bigot themselves. It's a means of showing how "moral" they are. The "I'll defend them by principal" even though they are my enemy liberal thought. It has no material understanding of what "punching up" means in comedy.

    I'm done with that shit. It doesn't help the left in any material way. And it literally just serves as a means for fascist to use liberalism and identity to defend those in positions of power.

    Stop calling out leftist. Call them "in" through a one on one conversation if they are crossing a line. But stop making it the point of the entire space. The point of the larger leftist movement is not in building seperate safe spaces. The point is to gain POWER to address the material conditions that create the need for safe spaces in the first place.

    I ranted enough. But, I'd say this type of thought is dying. And it died because of the contradiction that was introduced so bluntly by the politicians that supported a genocide constantly telling us that anti-zionism was anti-semitism.

    Ok, you've successfully convinced me. Not everyone needs to have kids.

    Agreed. The people that respond to a comment with thought terminating cliches, instead of any real criticism, they are definitely at the top of the list of people that shouldn't be teaching the next generation.

    But it's not about whether you're hurting Patel's feelings, it's about whether you're hurting the feelings of other people who might have a similar condition. The vast majority of people who will see this meme are not Nazis.

    I've been wondering what the combined daily cocaine intake for the administration is for a while now.

    If it makes you feel better, I also have a lazy eye. Fuck Nazis with or without disabilities.

    My favorite lazy eye story is of when Miles Davis meet brazillian musician Hermeto Pascoal. Davis loved to box and decided to take on Pascoal in a friendly match.

    He was a big fellow so could take a punch, he had determination so was more than willing to give it his all... now look up an image of Pascoal and you will see why this match would have been so fun to watch. He had a very lazy eye so when it comes to boxing Miles couldn't tell where he was looking so he had no idea were the next punch was coming from.

    What looked like a disadvantage to some become his greatest asset in this situation. Because of this Miles called him 'The mad Albino', mind you, he also called him "the most impressive musician in the world". So there was that.

    Remember when he was completely crashing out when he thought Trump was about to fire him? Massive panic attacks, blurring it he was about to be fired to employees, etc.

    This is probably worse than that. Oh to be a fly on the wall right now!

    Patel doesn't have googly eyes. He has Muppet eyes, meaning they're a little cross-eyed. If you didn't know, Muppets are slightly cross-eyed so that they look like they're looking straight ahead - Krash Patel is a little more cross-eyed than that.

    This made me laugh out loud. That's very rare.
