One thing that pisses me off about the Chechnya camps is that people are so fucking self centered that the first thing they did when they saw what was happening they went "SEE!!! THIS IS WHAT TRUMP IS GONNA DO!!! I HAVE NO CONCERN WHATSOEVER FOR THE MEN BEING ROUNDED UP BUT I GOTTA SHOW THAT PERFORMATIVE OUTRAGE SOMEHOW GAIZ!!1!1!! #FUCKTRUMP" and it's just really bugging me ya feel? Like I'm no fan of Trump either but maybe people could pull their heads out of their americentric asses for once?

Please someone tell me that this anon here isn’t right. Please say that there aren’t people that are so selfish that they’ve used this to attack Trump with, when it has zero to do with him.

I have to believe that you’re making this up. Please.

Nonie is talking about Joss Whedon I think. And yes that’s basically exactly what he said.

Right. Of course I can’t have nice things. Obviously.

Why do they even bother

If they acknowledge that ideology has played a role here, and which ideology it was, they’d have to dramatically rethink their politics.  Avoiding this requires pretending that 1950s America would have created anti-gay death squads, or that Trump is ten minutes away from executing Peter Thiel and only their brave corporate-sponsored resistance is postponing the death sentence.

This is how the Alt Right is able to grow and gain followers.
