Imagine the intense stupidity it takes to call Tom Morello a fascist after he posts an anti-fascist meme.

HeywouldJablowme
Tim Pool is stupid even for a high school dropout
areis30
so, being against nazis is ..... fascism? I knew beany boy was stupid, but wow...
bufordTjustice
It's almost as if he has no clue what the word actually means.
zanaria
Yeah that's my first thought too. How the hell would it make someone a fascist when they post something like that? But then again logic doesn't work well with conservatives...

Tim's pool is shallow and is already as white as it can be. No bleach will help

When you find yourself defending hypothetical nazis you need to rethink life choices

Which NAZIS are hypothetical ? These are real fascists.

Jesus Christ, Tim Pool has completely gone down the insane right wing rabbit hole. I am well aware of his descent, but every time he opens his mouth it's just breathtaking the level of crazy he demonstrates.

Tim Pool is a fascist, and like all fascists, he accuses the opposition of things Tim Pool is guilty of
Trelis
Because he doesn't understand what the term means.

Straight outta the nazi playbook tbh.

Well I mean, I would kinda follow that everyone is most probably a Nazi. In the entire world. Beacause if your friend ate with a Nazi, 1/2
OmgOptimized
Whoa, relax. It's a joking extreme application of some basic logic rule.
leshana
I don't think it counts if you genuinely don't know
OmgOptimized
Yeah it's a joking blind application of a logic rule. *Clearly* it's not the intended meaning and for all we know the jump is much larger in german than in this translation.
PeakExponent
they are no longer your friend.
OmgOptimized
they're now a nazi too. And as soon as you eat with them, now you're a nazi. In short order your family and relatives will be too. 2/3
OmgOptimized
I'm not entirely serious, of course. 3/3
doodlydoofus
"Knowingly" as in, if you see a man shouting "HEIL HITLER" and you say "I see nothing wrong with that" and sit down with him and eat dinner together, you're a nazi. That's what the saying is.
Taluien
No "knowingly" in the meme. If you sit at a table with someone who is a fascist and you don't know, you are now a fascist by the Tom Morello Standard. So's everybody who sits at a table with you in your future and doesn't lambast you for being a fascist. If anybody you ever sat at a table with who sat at a table with (repeat ad infinitum) a fascist, you are fascist by the logic of said standard. Badly worded meme is badly worded.
OmgOptimized
Well, obviously the saying isn't some boolean logic expression like what I jumped to. That was the twist I found a bit humorous.
ontarioOT
The first mistake was treating Tim Pool as a serious person, as he clearly is not one.
SirBillington
I wish Tim Pool a very nice lost beanie.
nickasaurusrex83
Im going to counter that the first mistake is not treating people like Tim Pool as a serious threat.
ontarioOT
He can definitely cause damage, but you can not treat him as a serious person. His arguments are not serious and are not undertaken in good faith. He has an end point already decided upon before he reads a story or during a conversation or debate. So you have to treat him as any online troll.
VioletCatastrophe
Indeed. He is real, or he is a grifter appealing to and representing the desires of real people. In both cases he is a serious threat.

When you discover "the machine" they were raging against wasn't a toaster.

Pim Tool is the kinda cumstain to misuse the term “fascist” replying to a Harvard educated poli-sci major…
SlickWithaLimerick
They don't understand words. Stop expecting them to.
paragraph
I expect anyone who speaks English to understand it or at least stop using words incorrectly when they find out that’s the case. This is called “speaking English”. If the GOP refuse to speak English they can go back to their country.
Ultratoxic
Fascists make their entire presence possible by intentionally appropriating, misusing, and ultimately destroying the meaning of, words their opponents use to criticize them. See: "collusion", "groomer", "fake news", etc. Only a matter of time until they did it to the word "fascist" itself.
RaySkye
Who the fuck is Tim Pool?
Somerandomoldguy
A reasonably good investigative journalist for Vice who went independant like 8-10 years ago. He then went on a slow cognative decline to the point where he's looking like the new Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones wrapped up in a beanie hat.
avidatheist
You'd be better off just forgetting he exists and move on with your life. He's not worth wasting braincells on.
RaySkye
Easy enough. I thought about goggleing him but decided to pick a popcorn husk out from between my teeth. Feels like a better expenditure of time and effort.
AregularolPlumbus
Just another right wing incel, grifter, social media personality. He used to be left wing and then decided he could make more money with less effort pandering to right wing idiots because you don’t actually have to do any research or fact checking when you’re on the right.
MrAcurite
Henry Kissinger is also a Harvard-educated summa cum laude PoliSci major. Educational pedigree is no guarantee of decency. Morello is a decent guy, it's just that it's not solely a product of his education.
diesel01
Pretty sure the point was that his education makes him knowledgeable on the subject, not that it relates to his decency.
paragraph
Even though he eats children and bathes in their blood to sustain himself, Kissinger knows what the word “fascist” means and how to properly use it and Blim Nool is still a cunt.
MadCat221
He also didn't get the memo that Fascism is an extreme far-right ideology, and Nazism is a specific German flavor of it.

Don't tell that to people on here. They call everything a nazi, if they don't like it, making them sound republican. nazism is specific to NSDAP, and people that overuse it make us sound just like the right wing kooks that call everything SJW and Woke.
SlickWithaLimerick
Tell that to the people waving swastikas.
RowsdowerCantSaveUs
Again, there are people who call themselves Nazis. They're very very rare, but I agree: Call them Nazis. But the run-of-the-mill fascists should just be called shithead fascists.
RowsdowerCantSaveUs
I don't know why it's so hard for people to see that these middle-school inflammatory nicknames hurt our side, and makes look as silly as they look when they act childish.
MadCat221
If they didn't give cause by acting just like nazis, then we wouldn't have a reason to call them such.
RowsdowerCantSaveUs
They act like fascists, not NSDAP specific weirdos. It IS true that there are Nazis out there, but not every fascist is a nazi, and nuance is important/more mature approach than blanket perspectives that don't apply.. right?
MadCat221
Well, yasee... before they moved up to Jews, they started targeting what we now encompass as LGBTQ+. So I will indeed continue to if they continue to escalate the bigotry towards that demographic. I will also continue to view being and being accepting of nazis to be a distinction without a difference, as per the german axiom about the nazi dining at the table. This is how virulently poisonous that ideology is to civil society.

If you tried to say the Nazis were left-wing in history class in Germany, you'd fail the class. We had looong lessons and many chapters in our history books about how the Nazis used terminology to disguise their true ideology.

Libs and NDP have a stranglehold on the government right now, cons would need a miracle to get enough votes to win. PP just yaps and lies through his teeth but I don't see him as a threat in and future elections. But then again I'm usually wrong
