Seems like edge-lord spam mischaracterized as "far right"
- sundaeofshock 2y agoWhat’s the difference between?
- theultdev 2y agoI've heard plenty of "far-left" people use slurs, including n*****. Using a slur is not indicative of a political leaning, it's an indication of your edge-lord status.
- sundaeofshock 2y agoIf a person is acting like a right-wing asshole, I’m going to assume they are a right-wing asshole. If they don’t like that, they should change their behavior.
- tanseydavid 2y agoThis is circular reasoning -- a tautology.
- sundaeofshock 2y agoNo, it’s abductive reasoning. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck…
- wtfwhateven 2y agoNo it's not.
- theultdev 2y ago> If a person is acting like a right-wing asshole my point was people of all political leanings can act like this. it's not exclusive to "far-right" people. > If they don’t like that, they should change their behavior. they don't care. that's why they're trolling
- mariusor 2y agoI feel like this kind of statement requires a little more details to back it up. And, to use a hot take here, I believe that the "left to right" political axis can be simplified using a "I believe I am better than X" statement, where X is a set of people(s), that grows ever wider the further right you go. Therefore a person on the "far left" of the axis would complete the sentence as "I believe I am better than nobody" and thus it's not really plausible that they would need slurs to talk about others. I realize that this sounds a little of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy, but people saying they are something, does not make them that something unless backed up by actions/beliefs. Using slurs is antithetic to being any kind of left, not just "far", so I suspect you might have met someone confused about things.
- theultdev 2y agoYes all far left people are saints and would never do this. Ridiculous. I guess you missed every time they called Tim Scott and Judge Thomas uncle toms.
- mariusor 2y agoYeah you're right. Far left people use slurs like "capitalist" and "billionaire" and have calls to violence like "eat the rich", I forgot. I'm not sure if they're really as offensive as the ones that we initially talked about though. (Also, I have no idea who those two(three?) people are.)
- milesrout 2y agoYou are forgetting all the ways you can act as if you are superior to others other than by using nasty words. You are also forgetting a lot of commonly used insults from the far left: fascist, nazi, racist, sexist, bigot, bootlicker, tech bro, and so on and so forth. Some on the hard left put a large focus on controlling the use of language. They are the arbiters of what is offensive, etc. Those "guides to inclusive language" that made the rounds a few years ago were perfect examples. You can't say blacklist or totem pole or "no can do". You can't say kowtow or gyp or "master branch". What is insisting you control the language of others except acting as it you are morally superior to them? Generally speaking, wokeness/political correctness is exactly that: acting as if you are better than others and your moral pronouncements (no pun intended) should take precedence over theirs, because of your superior moral authority.
- consumer451 2y agoI have heard things as well, here is my proof. [0] What in the heck is happening here? Is this Twitter? [0]
- blueflow 2y agoReversed question: How do they even relate? One is intentionally violating customs/manners, the other is a political orientation.

- nixah 2y agoThese spammers also spammed threats to Codeberg users that maintain projects that advocate for human rights, trans rights, etc and collect facts/data against hate and discrimination. The content of those threats are how we know those spammers are far-right forces. The spam email notification was just a side-thing the spammers did to get more attention.
