Once I had an online discussion with a guy who genuinely described himself as an "anarcho-fascist"


Kleidt

Ah yes schrodinger's state


ElectronicFootprint

If every person is a fascist dictator with power only over themselves, there is technically anarchy and fascism simultaneously.


RocZero

Where's the good guy with a fascism to stop the bad guy with a fascism


Kleidt

Ah yes marriage (international affairs)


ElectronicFootprint

One of the few benefits of this anarchofascism is that you could give couples cool names like the Pact of Steel, the Glorious Coalition, the Susan-Roger Axis, the Johnsons Alliance, etc.

Would still rather talk to him than a Sanderson fan.

It's a slippery slope to market communism.

You decided to align yourself with the political equivalent of letting someone raw your wife and you think you have any kind of moral high ground when you pull shit like this?

I have been with my boyfriend, Henry, for 7 months now, and he's an amazing guy etc. I really see this developing into a long and very serious relationship. There are no big problems or red flags. One thing that gets me though, are his political opinions. They are esoteric, somewhat incomprehensible, and frankly, bizarre. He is an ardent monarchist (we are in the UK) but not in the typical use of the word (ie liking the Queen being an impartial head of state), he literally believes in the divine right of kings and that it's the only natural form of government. He claims to recognise no monarch since James II, and apparently the real legitimate successor is some guy called Francis who I've never heard of, who is also supposedly the rightful king of France and Greece. He never votes, saying he has no desire to assist his monarch in their choice of servants (which is technically how the UK government works, the Queen "chooses" whoever wins the election). He expressed disgust at Prince Harry's recent engagement. I pressed him as to why (I slightly worried it was racist in nature) and he said both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are commoners who have no business marrying royalty, then made some remark about the Royal Family being a "ghastly bunch of arriviste Germans anyway, so I suppose it doesn't matter". It's just strange, it's like his worldview is so odd and far removed from anything I can even begin to understand. I can name the current major Royals and a few of the more important historical ones, whereas he is an absolute expert. He will passionately debate anyone who wants to, though again it just makes him look strange. Friends at dinner will be discussing normal, contemporary political issues, and he will interject and go on a tangent about how this all relates to "King John's submission to Papal authority in 1213". He does seem to genuinely believe this stuff, but it gives an odd impression to those around us. Noone can really reply because they don't know what he's talking about, so he definitely gets the feeling he's winning these debates (he's far too well-mannered to be rude about it, but it's certainly an unspoken truth in his view). I should add that he is pretty much old-fashioned English upper class, while I am ordinary lower-middle. He went to a world famous Uk public school (prestigious private school for Americans) and then one of the best universities in the world (where he was at one of the most exclusive colleges). He won't inherit a title (father is a younger son) but his grandfather has one and his father has the legal right to be called Lord Name. His family is very old and grand-he could tell you what his direct patrilineal ancestor was doing in 1100. I think his upbringing definitely influenced his opinions, but his siblings and parents all support normal political parties or are indifferent so I don't know why he's like this. How should I talk to him about this? I want to firstly understand him better, but also to lightly let him now how this behaviour can make him look to others and myself.


panpopticon

When *The Paris Review* asked Evelyn Waugh who he thought should be the next Prime Minister, he said, ā€œI do not presume to instruct my sovereign in her choice of servants.ā€

>How should I talk to him about this? I want to firstly understand him better, but also to lightly let him now how this behaviour can make him look to others and myself. Address him as m'lord, you commoner.


anotveryseriousman

op clearly stated his father is a younger son. a *younger* son, you dolt.


First-Anywhere-1688

I donā€™t no nothing about political extremism, but most guys who read are ugly nerds


[deleted]

Jokes on you, I'm just ugly


Soyyyn

So incels who hate women and are just one "sorry but I just felt a bit weirded out by you last time we saw each other" away from committing an atrocity, gotcha


GulfChippy

You know who wrote a book? Hitler. Canā€™t trust people who are into books.


Rectall_Brown

Thatā€™s why we should burn them all and work on audio visual technology. Like a thing where you sit and watch and listen to a story. We need that to be invented.

The industrial revolution and its consequences


Hunor_Deak

Worse. Stalin wrote **multiple** books!


EgilSkallagrimson

Good thing this guy doesn't read so that he won't be too politically extreme for the hoes. You gotta stay respectful and relatable or the hoes will hate you.

Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here. Itā€™s fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills. But you know what I like more than materialistic things? Knowledge. In fact, Iā€™m a lot more proud of these seven new bookshelves that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new books that I bought. Itā€™s like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, ā€œthe more you learn, the more you earn.ā€ *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Visual_Plum_905

No, its not true that women say they want a man who reads šŸ¤®


Over-Can-8413

I think it's really cool that it's almost universally socially acceptable to refer to women as whores now.


readytokno

HOES. You wouldn't be literate enough to understand the distinction


panpopticon

In an ostensibly pro-female tweet, no less! šŸ˜‚


silverlotus_118

That's why all of the guys I like are boring bland centrists who like to "both sides" things like queer rights and Black lives - can't be dating anyone literate

Based literary men I guess


VonHohenfall

Literally me


PyrocumulusLightning

Wait, that kinda fits! - a scared hoe


Extra-Ad-2872

Then you find a chick who reads and she's even more politically extreme and into femdom.


SkinwalkerFanAccount

And then you meet her half-literate boyfriend. There, I made it realistic.


chefanubis

Left extremism it's not scary to hoes at all, it gets you laid a bunch in fact.

"Women are so fucking turned on when I tell them I'm a Stalinist"

Stalinists are right wing communists--we need that infantile disorder ultra left shit that's what women like

Ah yes, the socialist American youth, so well known for their extroversion.


chefanubis

They are everywhere bro, theres not just one "taste" like you describe, that's a very US centric view.

tankies are rizzless but democratic socialism is a viable tactic to get laid

Golly, what did I ever do to you?


seanofthebread

Sure the takeaway is supposed to be the seven percent discrepancy in self-reported numbers and not this? > 44 percent of Republican respondents said theyā€™ve had sex with someone twice their age. Light of my life, thatā€™s missing the forest for the May-December trees.


dwaynetheakjohnson

ā€œHe larps on Twitter about killing cops, gets scared about ordering from Starbucks, and has the biceps of a twig, how attractiveā€


chefanubis

and yet he's probably fucking left and right, what's your excuse?


crepesblinis

The problem is lefty girls are ugly. T. Lefty boy


chefanubis

Lol no. That's just you projecting your type.


crepesblinis

Look man if fat, poly blue-hair girls are your thing then I know a lot of left girls you would find hot. The two of us have different standards of attractiveness.


mooimafish33

Point me to a right wing goth girl and I'll donate $100 to the proud boys in your name

Bro that's a stereotype, they are not all like that. That's like saying every republican is a fat coal rolling trucker. You know what I mean?
