Identifying fascists and their friends on tumblr

Most important step--who do they reblog from? If they reblog from fascists, they're a fascist. Look out for the following things in URLs/bios/posts. If you see it, it MIGHT be unintentional, but 95% of the time the person is a reactionary.

NOT A COMPLETE LIST. More can be found on the Anti-Defamation League's website. Feel free to add your own.

Antisemitic Dogwhistles:

(((Triple parentheses)))--used by antisemites to identify Jewish names

"Cultural Marxists"--means Jews

"The mysterious, wealthy elites"--means Jews

"Powerful satanic pedophiles"--means Jews

"XYZ Jew or rich person is secretly a lizard/robot/alien"--hearkens to the Jews control the world narrative

Generalized statements about Israel as a major global power/influencing the US

"Controlled media"

"International bankers"

Referencing "certain people on the east coast of the US"

"New York intellectual"

"Dual loyalty"

Overt fixation on the Rothschilds/George Soros

Depictions of unlikeable people as having hooded eyelids, dark curly hair, large hooked noses

"Controlling the masses, puppet master, mastermind"

References to or depictions of the happy merchant

ZOG/Zionist Occupied Government

Nonspecific language and rhetoric often used by fascists/friends of fascists:

Cumbrain

Smoothbrain--eugenicist phrasing

Correcting for overpopulation--ecofascist rhetoric

Degenerate

Social Darwinism/survival of the fittest/natural selection

Traditional values

Symbology to double check:

Scandinavian symbology (inc. Norse runes)

American front cross

Celtic cross

Depictions of German soldiers (w/ or w/o swastika)

Imperial German flag

Iron Cross

Eagle (akin to Nazi eagle)

Pepe the Frog (for real)

Wojak (paying attention to any other symbols added to it or showing a deformed head/damaged brain)

URLs + Self-identifiers to be wary of:

Trad/traditional/traditionalist

Monarchist

Punished

Risen

Nationalist

Crucified

Aryan

Unforgiven

Patriarch

Patriot

Fallen

Chad

Egalitarian

Unrepentant

Prussia/Prussian

Liberty

Anglican

Catholicism/saints/church (yep)

Numbers to look at:

83

14 88 (together or individually)

Please reblog this because some of you put fascists on my dashboard unwittingly and I need you to Know... You need to Look...

Can I add the fact that they try very hard to discredit posts exactly like this one by calling them “paranoid” or “delusional” but what they really mean is that they genuinely thought these memes and slogans were brilliantly subtle and actually thought nobody else in the whole world was smart or observant?

"Globalist" is also another word to keep an eye out for. It originates in the idea that Jewish people have no allegiances to their country but instead to some global conspiracy. Ties back into the idea that they secretly rule the world.

Also the word "cabal" normally means "groups of Jewish people secretly running things".

Anyways remember that time that JK Rowling, who has never spoken to an indigenous American person in her whole life, was like "but what if the Natives had four schools and they were also bloodthirsty savages who started the residential schools with their fictional beings as their mascots and Christians weren't actually at fault" right at the time when we started getting some traction around getting recognition for the heinous crimes that were the mass graves of children, then went on to make a whole spin-off franchise in America using that """lore""" and rhetoric, where the one wizard guy who tried to stop the Holocaust from happening was villainized and played by Johnny Depp (who played Tonto in the Lone Ranger and said he was going to buy the Black Hills and Wounded Knee and "give it back to Lakota people" then never did that at all) and who she later defended as saying he wasn't a domestic abuser because she believed him over a woman who has since been proven to be telling the truth several times over?

The woman's a violent colonizer.

Hello <3 I deleted this original post but in light of the fact that there's a Twilight TV series reboot/spinoff in the making let's talk about how these women are one and the same in their actions against indigenous American people!

Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon with Mormon views. Mormons have extremely racist ideology embedded within their religious texts about indigenous Americans and Jews - that indigenous people are quite literally the Actual Real Jews (I'm mixed, this is truly insane cult rhetoric). Through the decades the LDS church has successfully funded, advocated, and carried out forced conversion and cultural genocide. THEY ARE THE ONES ACTIVELY TRYING TO OVERTURN ICWA, THE INDIAN CHILD WELFARE ACT.

Are you seeing the pattern here? Are you seeing the undercurrent of antisemitism and anti-indigenous racist imperialism?

Get rid of your attachment to these franchises, stop making it a question of what media you will replace it with, get involved with US. We want your allyship and understanding more than these white supremacists even want to think about your humanhood.

useless cunts in the tags saying "um actually idubbz and kurtis connor are american/canadian" yeah we KNOW. what u dont know is that this is an invasive species of man running rampant in all major australian cities. this is the type of man who does an acknowledgment of country before gaslighting u. this is the type of man who thinks buying local zines featuring comics of national animals smoking weed is anti-monarchist praxis. think before u speak

writer's strike is amazing actually go girl get that fucking marvel show UNMADE get that fucking gay pirate show CANCELLED get these chronically online fandom bitches' obsessions on HOLD until the corporations learn to pay you your mf money that you deserve

im ngl i feel like this is antithetical to the ethos of the strike, which is to empower the workers who make those things who should make more not only bc everyone deserves fair treatment and a fair wage, but bc theres so many people that love those things. it doesnt really matter if it’s cringe, or even if it’s good. people work hard on ALL of these shows and movies. and i have not seen a lot of fandoms outside alt right trolls and the occasional idiot teenager really be against the workers so far. these writers and other people in hollywood do not want their projects cancelled. this whole situation is HEARTBREAKING for them, whether it is IP work or original stuff. getting any show or movie made is a gargantuan effort and like rolling the dice of corporate politics, privilege, and luck.

please dont make this about fandom discourse or whatever because frankly that does play into what the companies want - they want people to think the audience and “fandoms” (or at least how they define them) have more power than the workers. please dont root for shows to get cancelled, even ones you dislike, because thats what the corporations want - they want it to seem like it is the striking writers’ fault.

it is not the writers putting “chronically online” people’s obsessions on hold, it is the AMPTP and the studios.

Tumblr "feminists": yuri is for men

Twitter dudebro weebs: yuri is for men

Yuri authors: Don't forget to block the annoying heteros (Iori Miyazawa) don't use my characters in your gross homophobic memes (Nio Nakatani) I'm making this manga free because I am a lesbian and I want to spread awareness and someday be able to get married to another woman in my home country (Alt Hanakage)

Avatar

Now that I'm home from work I actually want to go into a bit more detail!

Iori Miyazawa (Otherside Picnic) - had a rather long rant in an interview about readers who are locked into "heterocentric values" and don't accept that lesbians actually exist, he suggested blocking them when you encounter them on social media.

Nio Nakatani (Bloom Into You) - Sayaka's homophobic senpai was a meme for a while with Japanese edgelords who used her as a sort of Homophobic Hero, so she lambasted them on twitter

Alt Hanakage (Senpai no Kouhai) - is an out lesbian who has talked about how her personal experiences inform her work. She made a short manga called "Ring On My Finger" about her frustration at being unable to marry another woman and made it available for free because she wants more people to understand her frustration.

And while I'm here I also want to shout out this butch x butch yuri anthology, which was spearheaded by yuri artist Natsuo Mutsumi (self-described nonbinary lesbian) and features work by many other LGBTQ mangaka including Alt Hanakage (mentioned above) and trans artist Nekobungi Sumire (who has a tumblr!! @ nekobungi )

anyway. racism in the batfam fandom be wildin out

love how i said fandom but you defaulted to the cannon examples because this probably defiantly stems from the cannon ALSO being racist. the way the fandom treats cass and duke. cass gets turned into a shining good girl with no flaws and duke isnt a character thats just a cut board cutout you found on the street. i hope you all explode would you also like me to talk about the transphobia next or have i screamed into the void enough

Scream into the void all you want! Xoxoxox

*pushes up glasses like an anime loser* ight. cw for fetization of trans ppl, mostly men and transmisogyny

this is mostly based off of fannon stuff because cannon. doesnt rlly have trans characters

anywayyyyyy the way alot of fanfiction written by mostly cis women turns trans men to this really weird. fetish even in NON NSFW fics (which is all of the fics ive read) in specifically trans men loving men relationships is. ughh. not to be a morality police or anythin. but its weird how you always focus on the very feminine aspects of trans mens bodies and specifically pre testosterone and pre/non surgery trans men makes me want to scream. like besides from social media, have you talked to a trans man. do you know a trans man. are you aware of their experiences of not always wanting to be a pretty boy (btw if ur a trans guy and want to be a pretty boy thats perfectly valid but obv not every single trans guy is like that) and actually not liking it when people call trans mens bodies feminine beauties or something. btw idk anything about the nsfw side of trans masc fanfictions but the fact that alot of trans (insert male character) tags are 70% porn counts as a hate crime. i expect compensation for the brain damage

also because alot of fanfiction is very male centric i cant say as much for the trans fem/trans woman side of things but i do know that when theres fanfictions about my sisters in arms, its used as a way to make sure that the female character is seen as undesirable / unavailable so their mlm ship of choice can get together . or used as a way to fetishize straight t4t relationships which is . also bad

i do realise this is a rant about fandom culture as awhole

but what do i know im like 2 days old this is ur local show by frank basicirishlastname and this is my own personal hell *SICK FUCKING OUTRO PLAYS*
