Why does this read like butthurt? The idea that fascists and anti-fascists are two sides of the same coin is not new.

    Anti-fascists are nothing like fascists

    Apart from:

    • hating free speech;
    • hating democracy;
    • using violence to promote their ideology;
    • blaming others for their problems (and almost invariably the wrong others).

    And of course lets not forget:

    • Both are avid supporters of the military-industrial complex. One side will fall for even the most obvious, transparent self-serving propaganda if you fly the national flag, while the other side will fall for even the most obvious, transparent self-serving propaganda if you label your enemies "the next Hitler".
    • Both of them simp for big corporations. One side just demands that the corporation flies their country's flag, while the other side demands they fly the rainbow flag.

    Are their differences? Of course. There are a million ways to be an idiot follower of authoritarian ideologies, but the similarities are more important than the differences. Fascists typically align with traditional misogynic values like keeping women barefoot and pregnant and banning abortion, while antifascists align with neo-misogynic values like labelling women "uterus bearers" and insisting that girls as young as ten can consent to having their breasts cut off and put on hormones that will alter their body forever. They're just different flavours of woman-hatred.

    I was with you up until this point, as this makes it sound like you think everything is just a conspiracy against women.

    Lol this comment is funny.

    There's no conspiracy. It's just a bunch of woman-hating losers, whether right-wing spoiled brats who have never gotten over Mummy telling them they have to clean their room, or left-wing spoiled brat perverts LARPers who want to fantasize about being Princess Peach while they fuck lesbians with their "girl cock", acting according to their nature as woman-haters.

    Because it makes it sound like men never ever have to deal with any BS and it's only women who have any hardships in life. Either that, or it only matters if it's women.
