I don't think it's right but I don't care as long as it doesn't affect me. Rachel crossed the line when she started to make claims about her parents and fake hate crimes. Shit like this sidelines real issues.

Nah, they're pretty much the same.

The latter is laughable, because she's not a threat to anyone and most of us know better.
The former is frankly disgusting, and part of a genuinely scary movement: while Stormfront itself is all a bit sad, people with the same ideology are increasingly on the rise in Europe.

On one end you had people who were racist but said "but you can't deny Jimi's talent on the 6 string" like... they were racist but would shake the man's hand because his skill transcended their hatred. Then you had racists who said he was talented, but it was because he was mixed blood and so the talent came from his non black side, and they obviously really get into this blood magic occult hitler shit. Then you had people who said rock music was just degenerate black art so a talented guitarist was an oxymoron because there hasn't been good music since early Austrian classical composers.

You don't have to, considering that "proving" transracialism would necessarily involve drawing on neurological, psychological, and biological research.

"It's different when we do it".
Yeah, I hear that a lot these days. I'm still not sure how the actions of someone who has nothing to do with you affects how despicable your opinions are. Joking about "gas the kikes" makes you an evil monster, but joking about "KILLALLMEN" just makes you cute and silly?
Here let me try riding the oppression train.

I would like to point out, however, that there is a big difference between joking about #killallmen (which started as satire and was taken on by a misandric fringe group most feminists do not agree with) and joking about an actual genocide which was committed in the name of your ideology.
If you actually support the Holocaust, it's pretty hateful to joke about it. Most of the people joking about #killallmen do not actually advocate mass murder of men. There is a massive difference.
As for the rest of your post - yeah, I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say, though I have a feeling I'd rather not know.

Ever study psychology before?
A large part of what's defined as a mental illness is dependent on what's normal
Are you sure you're not just giving the benefit of the doubt to people with vaguely similar politics as your own?

I can see similarities, with bullying a scientist over his shirt,trying to criminalize making men spread their legs on a bus, DDOS,doxxing children, defending doxxing, vandalism, false fire alarms, sending bomb threats, assaulting men, murdering men, bullying women who disagree with you, harassing women who disagree with you, SWATTING women who disagree with you,lying about your former employer so you can have a wage gap story, lying, about, rape, #KILLALLMEN, the fact that, literally, all, left-leaning, media, endorsesan, extremists. Let, me, know, when, I, reach, the, magic, number, before, they're, no, longer, considered, a, fringe, minority.

"It's OK when we do it"
Yeah, that's not going to fly with me.If you actually support the Holocaust, it's pretty hateful to joke about it. Most of the people joking about #killallmen do not actually advocate mass murder of men. There is a massive difference.
"When you do it, you're an insane hateful monster who's a menace to society. When we do it, we're just being silly :)"
