I don't go on social media so I don't really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a "heh, serves her right" kind of way.

So weird that dudes complain that they can't get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled. what-the-hell

EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I'm disappointed, that's something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren't. Do fucking better.

You're missing the point. There is not literally a nazi book about bears vs Jews in the woods. It is not a direct 1:1 analogy. What is similar is the justification about why you need to fear the group because of the actions of the few and dehumanizing them by saying they're worse than animals.

The entire question is inherently flawed because it's the same question used by neo nazis quoting 13% use to justify their hatred of minorities. My question is why hexbear wants to defend a hypothetical that emulates the logic and thinking of reactionaries.

The answer, as far as I could see, is that they don't actually believe it. They're doing the left-wing equivalent of being an edgy conservative who says racist things to make people mad. That's fine, it's less harmful than the edgy conservative. But I'm not going to ignore it just because they're left-wing.

Nah, I think I get what you're saying now and I disagree with all due respect. I stand by my point in the last comment. I don't think there is an equivalence in the justifications and you're associating things that shouldn't be.

I know that there isn't a Nazi book about Jews and bears in the woods and that you don't think there's a 1:1 analogy but, again, there still isn't an equivalence in the justifications either. With candy and group fear, such as with men, you can say that the few ruined it for the lot. But with Nazi ideology all Jews are rejected in totality. Nazis would say that despite all appearances, all Jews are malicious. That is not the same as the candy/group justification. I don't think you can say these are just Leftists using Nazi propaganda, that's a little bad faith on your part.
