India Willoughby having the fucking gall to frame himself as a Jew and gender skeptics as Nazi exterminators.
This is not Vichy. There are no “collaborators” because there is no Vichy and there are no Nazis. There is no “Nazi poster-girl” and no one, NO ONE AT ALL, is “coming for” Willoughby. He’s not going to be hauled off to Auschwitz to be worked to death or immediately gassed. He’s not going to be one of the six million.
This is where narcissism and obsession with one’s precious IdenTiTee takes a person.

Nobody’s coming for Willoughby, and I think that’s what’s so galling to him. We just want to get as far away from him as possible so we can happily ignore the constant screeching for attention and the casual racism.
PZ Myers recently shared a 2-hour-long(!) YouTube speech that was all about KJK being, at a minimum, Nazi-adjacent. In his post sharing the link, Myers also called JK Rowling “a raging fascist”.
Good grief.
At this point I almost feel pity for PZ, he’s become everything he used to rage against. He’s dug a hole so deep for himself I don’t see him ever being able to walk it back, and I’m not sure he even deserves an out…
Clamboy: shades of George Orwell, but not in the way people usually say it. He had a whole essay about people completely devaluing the word “Fascism” by using it to mean “I don’t like it”.
I watched ten minutes of that video and found it already riddled with gaps in research, and packed with the lazy thinking and dishonesty usual to this crowd. Two hours of that shit would be dire viewing.
This comment by one “moonslicer” is interesting for how bizarrely off the mark it is about the whole subject.
But nobody, nobody, nobody argues that trans people should not have rights. That’s not what the disagreement is about at all. Trans people should have human rights; of course they should.
The issue is that they don’t get to invent new, peculiar, impossible “rights” like the “right” to be “validated” as the sex they’re not and then force everyone to agree they should have those “rights.”
clamboy I’m not seeing the part where PZ called Rowling a raging fascist. CTRL F doesn’t find it. Is this the wrong post?

Yes, lately there have been a few awful PinkNoise-worthy denunciations of people he doesn’t like. The one mentioned above is here.
Thank you.
Atheist blogs have long noted the existence of what we’d call “persecution porn” coming from Christian conservatives. Liberal Secularists were feverishly plotting ways to destroy Christianity and choosing the easiest and only viable method: the use of force against Christians. Laws banning Bibles and camps “reeducating” the faithful were always on the verge of being implemented or had become fact in a fictional drama about the near future. Being asked to renounce Jesus by someone holding a gun to your head was a viable possibility: prepare yourself. How will you answer?
General consensus was that there were several factors motivating this lascivious dwelling on people “coming for you.” First, there was fundraising, for obvious reasons. Second, was the thrill of seeing oneself as a crucial player in an important drama. And third was confirmation that your faith was true. Nobody would bother bringing such big guns to Christianity if one — they thought it insignificant and pointless and two — they weren’t on the side of Evil.
I’m not sure about the role of fundraising, but sense of significance and establishing truth — oh yes. Willoughby is intent on both. That may also apply to those with the stubborn inability to see the opposition as they are, as opposed to how they need to be if we assume they know they’re wrong.

Ophelia @ #7,
Strangely, I read “moonslicer”‘s comment and couldn’t find a single example of the rights the transgendered are being denied. But in light of his general point, I suppose I’d be dismissed as an irredeemable case if I dared to ask for one.
‘Vichy Gay Lesbian’? ‘Anti-trans collaborator’? Willoughby, you and your kind are invaders and encroachers on our rights. We are the resistance.
