            Honestly, I’m even more confused now. White supremacists were using it against “RINOs”

            The original insult makes sense in that context (man who’s spouse is unfaithful), but in this diagram it was listed with oppression of identity and sexuality. The only way my brain seems to interpret that is by assuming the word is used in its fetish form which makes even less sense to me

              In the diagram you can substitute that word for any non-mainstream sexual or gender thing. It really doesn’t matter what - they’ll scapegoat anything as long as it’s a minority, elicits disgust from the in-crowd and reinforces any of the things it connects to with dashed lines.

              Pedophilia is a good one because it relates to ‘defending women & children’, makes the enemy look weak, causes sexual anxiety and elicits [disgust](https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=conservatives disgust morality&addon=firefox&addonversion=4.1.2&method=topbar). Hence ‘[Save the children](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qanon %27save the children%27&t=h_&ia=web)’ and all that.

              The diagram maps the *conceptual* framework behind it all - it’s best not to get too literal about any of the individual words.

      What if they have? I think it’s more about how deep their belief is that they must be accepted by their community. So them going to pride might actually make them mad and fuel their hate.

          I’ve speculated (and I don’t believe I’m alone) that the reason Peter Theil was so supportive of Elon Musk is that he either really wanted to fuck him or did.

            Nah, they’re just people who made a pile of money together. Theil was one of the people who stopped Elon from trying to turn PayPal into a complete financial services solution, and instead just focus on paying for eBay purchases. They all take a big payday because of it, but Elon was still upset he wasn’t allowed to “disrupt” the banking industry.

              Agreed, but if I knew anything about programming botnets, I would absolutely program bots to just one by one post this specific thread for weeks. Just get banned and post again a couple of hours later with a new bot.

              Good luck doing anything about it with the API being free so you can use mod tools.

    Peter Thiel, one of the top GOP funders (and likely reason for JD Vance pick) is openly gay. Of course for him the reasoning is simple: he has a lot of money and wants policies that favor people with a lot of money. I’ve known a number of rich people in my life, and many (not all) have bought into a sort of wealthy identity, thinking of wealthy people as superior to non-wealthy people, and that the ideal social structure is a rigid hierarchy where the “deserving” are rewarded with luxuries and the “inferior” working class deserves a life of cheap labor. Psychological incentives strongly encourage this, because otherwise these people would have to believe they are getting more than they deserve, and that they themselves are too weakened by a life of luxury to be as supportive of the as fortunate than they should be. Accordingly, this identity can be more powerful than something like gay identity.
