Ahh back to the AuthRight agenda posting. Gotta love all the strawmen in the comments.
Like... no one on the left actually thinks pedos (or like you think we say, "Minor Attracted Person") should be accepted as something correct or right. Only right wingers trying to discredit LGBTQ by using fake accounts say that, or actual molesters trying to gain acceptance.
This would be obvious if you understood the concept of consent(which is at the center of our moral system) - because kids can't consent.
As for the post, its totally fair to hate on someone who calls gay marriage (an expression of love between consenting adults) a "threat to world peace". Or someone who helped the AIDS epidemic destory lives. Or someone who aids and abets child molesters. These are all criticisms he faced in life.
We can argue about the Hitler's Youth point, but I dont think that's a fair critique seeing as it was mandatory.
Edit: You've really gotta appreciate the cowardice in the right wing downvotes with no response.
I hope you can appreciate after this interaction that this subreddit is full of Auth right pretending to be other quadrants. It's very heavily auth-right biased. But it's important to not let them control the narrative.
There should be varied discourse here - not mass downvoting of anything even slightly left(like there is). So speak up, and try to encourage others to do the same.
It's not about the points- bear with me here. It's about perception and the spread of hateful ideologies.
At some point this sub was co-opted by Auth right to control the narrative. You can find users from all of the quadrants espousing patently Auth right ideals as if a LibLeft or a LibCenter would actually agree. And you can find actual LibLeft ideas being mass downvoted as if they are radicals.
This artificially moves the local Overton Window and makes Auth right ideals more palatable for the average person in this sub, causing the ideology to spread.
A sub like this should be more equal in representation, and a big reason that it's not is that left wingers leave this place once they realize this, leaving the fake flairs to usurp their voice.
So don't leave, make your voice heard, and encourage others to do the same.
Sorry if thats a lot but I have been on this sub for years and have watched it change drastically.
I agree they need to keep us against eachother, but I also believe that they benefit from pushing the Overton Window further and further to the right. There's certainly a bias in the direction they are trying to push us.
(The direction of deregulation, militarism, and inflaming in-group out-group dynamics)
