While the far left and right do intersect (see AFD/Linke in Germany and FN/PCF in France), I have trouble considering Bernie as a threat. He does want more government support for the poor, which can seem odd in the USA context. But, that would be useful.

Republicans just peddle hate and racism.

That said, I would not vote for Bernie. I think he would be intolerant of dissent.

If you are talking about intolerance of opposing viewpoints and inability to debate with your concerns, I can agree with that on far left/right.

@cstross Shadefire must be amazing if people are trying so hard to keep it pristine. How can I book a trip?

@TruthSandwich I said "I have met very few." I did not say they do not exist. I live in the south.

@TruthSandwich quite likely that my personal experience is not an unbiased statistical sample. I do think it understandable that I find Christian nationalists a much worse (and current) threat than communism.

@TruthSandwich I have met very few Christians who are not tied to the Republican, authoritarian creed so it is hard for me to make that distinction. I have to admit I am less judgemental with the Africans I deal with of all creeds. They seem sincere

@TruthSandwich ok. I was flippant. Fascism is bad, his book is hard to take seriously. I can not really tie Marx to USSR or CCP. Frankly, their system had nothing to do with him. I get more upset about the Bible since I am confronted daily ( I live in southern USA) with people using it to try to force me to do things. I do not think trying to counter Christian nationalism makes me a bigot.

@ClaraListensprechen4 de rien. Je dirais que la chose que j'aime plus que tous les autres est confit de canard

@TruthSandwich I have read 2 of the 3 books. Mein Kampf is hard to take seriously. Bible I find more disturbing. Both have sections advocating genocide. I never took Marx seriously enough to invest time in his writings. Bakunin is interesting, though.

@TruthSandwich Our opinions differ. Not knowing you, I hesitate to say anything about your mental facilities. I feel safe, though, in saying that the Bible is often used to justify many things the prophet of the new testament would not approve of.

Don't get my hopes us.

Oh. That was the only thing I found in common about the people that the right wing calls pedophiles. so, I figured that was what it meant.

@blogdiva @cstross

Outside of the unnecessary dig against "narcissistic atheists," I am totally on board with the rest of your statement.

Especially the unhinged oligarchy part.

I get kind of confused by the difference between libertarians and anarchists.

I am pro-anarchist, but find that the main belief of libertarians is that they don't want to pay their bills.

@blogdiva @cstross

If you excludes narcissists, the world gets really small, really quickly.

I think all that would be left are people with self-loathing.

Not that I have anything against people with self-loathing. I agree with most of them.

@MattBinder Safer for CSAM, isn't it?

@kingu @franz I thought pedophilia meant you do not brown nose Musk, did I get that wrong?

I don't know why Democrats always feel the need to appoint Republicans to posts. And then those Republicans spend all their time kissing up to the KKK
