He's one of the most wrong people in the democratic party and needs to retire.

If she's talking about fascism as a concept then yes, it arose in Italy and Spain. But the US had slavery long before that. European antisemitism predates that. Idk what the point is of talking about who started what. She suddenly became very nationalistic and defensive

She blocked me finally. She's lying about me. My advice was "be more compassionate towards immigrants who voted for Trump and now face deportation". Do something about your own right wing was a response to her assuming a German is automatically more likely to be a fascist. Quite insane exchange

You should get out of discussing politics online then if you need your identity as a shield. Nobody cares that you're a woman.

You should go for the ableism card to earn victim points. All you're doing is trying to link womanhood with stupidity. That's on you. I don't think women are stupid. But you probably are.

Suggested to be compassionate towards disgruntled Latino Trump voters to a liberal. Got stalked and told that as a foreigner I should not comment on American politics. And these people wonder how they enable Trumpism.

So another no argument. Maybe write another comment about my cat instead of being substantive. You're doing great

Invade? Are Palestinians allowed when Trump is going to hand over the West Bank to Israel? Or Germans when your billionaires try to meddle in our elections? Stfu thinking that your country's politics only affect you. Would be fucking nice if it was the case

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

No, I will not stop. You can block me, but when I know more than you, you'll know about it. Doesn't matter where I'm from. Me being German doesn't disqualify me from talking about American politics. Just a question. Are Canadians allowed to talk about Trumpism? Or Mexicans? Or whoever he wants to

That's your right. I prefer talking tactics so that the next election goes better.. I don't care much about your anger, but I guess it explains how you tried dealing with my advice so far. Nothing but emotional rage

statistics and what motivates voters or do you prefer making lazy online posts for engagement?

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

That's great. And you believe 50% of Americans are Republican loyalists that can't change their minds ever? As opposed to 30% independent voters? Never mind that the median voter is completely uniformed. How much more do I have to teach you about your own country's politics? Ever looked into these

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

So telling you something is counter productive is being high and mighty? Maybe try not take everything so personal and try attacking people for their nationality when you're being criticized. Writing a different post expressing compassion would already be infinitely better

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Lol. What a whiny professional victim you are when being called out for Schadenfreude for the suffering of immigrants. Calling someone slow is anti woman now only so that you can deflect from who you are

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Yea, it takes work. Expressing Schadenfreude undermines that work though and achieves the opposite.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

I'm mostly siding with Americans here. This site is majority American and mostly about leftwing American politics. Telling people on Bluesky to not talk about American politics is pretty delusional, but it seems your defense strategy when you cant argue a point.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

It's so funny that this is a personal grievance to you and you have to defend yourself so eagerly, instead of just taking advice that you have chance now to reach a large portion of Latino voters and turn them against Trump.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

You being very loud (posting dumb shit on social media) does not erase or compare even slightly to the billions of $ that right wing media invests in getting the message out that Trump is pro Latino. That's what I'm trying to explain to you, but you're a bit slow.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

You're really looking for support, aren't you :-D That after telling foreigners that they can't comment on your countries politics. Your true colors are showing. Enjoy your Schadenfreude

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

You also think foreigners can't talk about your politics. You're a racist cunt and I think you would totally talk like that behind closed doors

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

The point of quoting you with "oh get those dirty immigrants out" when you express Schadenfreude over Latinos "finding out" is a very obvious jab at how racist your views are. You're just digging deeper and nobody is here to defend you, moron.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Try deflect more that you're gleeful about Trump supporting immigrants to be deported.

No, that was me quoting you. This is a pretty stupid tactic, Vanessa.

Hm, who did I call dirty?

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

We all know you would say that, Vanessa. Same as how you talk about people who aren't American.

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

No, I changed my mind on that. You are definitely racist. This whole interaction made it clear. I gave you advice to show compassion over Schadenfreude and you went of a rage over how a dirty foreigner dares to comment on your country

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

You express Schadenfreude over deportation raids, so yea "dirty immigrants" is indeed something I'm sure you say among your friends. Fake liberal as they come

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Nobody is this stupid, Vanessa. Everyone here knows you express Schadefreude over mass deportations. You're quite the cunt tbh

Awwww you think you can finally weasel out of your racism because you can pretend me sarcastically imitating your position will fool anybody? Lol. People calling you racist were so right :-)

Weird that you find having similar politics, but coming from a different country so offensive. It's actually lol worthy. Have fun turning into a nationalist weirdo because we disagreed slightly over compassion for immigrants who voted for the wrong team. Shows who you are

000 0

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

And since your entire defense is that I'm not from your country and therefore I have to get off your lawn. Not only do you seem to dislike those dirty immigrants, you also seem to get very defensive about your nation. Are you sure you're not a Trumper?

You didn't do anything, Vanessa. You seem to be bad at antifascism

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

You know you're the one trying to divide, right? Checking where I'm from before I can comment rtc. It seems to be pattern with you. But in my view, fascism can only be defeated with a global coalition of anti fascist and democratic minded people. That's why I'm opposed to the strategy of alienating

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

The thing is, we're focusing on what you're saying here. Nobody needs to dig through a profile sniffing out some background information in order to make a point

Ben P @t3ngu.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

This conversation was pretty wild. Generally thought she might see the point of turning disgruntled voters against Trump, since not everyone is a hardcore maga believer. But then she immediately goes on about what Germans know about fascism. Hint: A lot.
