This is a good reminder that the freedom of expression has morphed into freedom of stupidity.
These awful people actually expect to be taken seriously for their moronic bullshit world views.
One of my takeaways is that some of the people aren’t intrinsically awful, they are just un-aware or un-knowing. That some think feminism means female supremacy, or that woke is some undefinable thing they don’t like. And that with some stomach churning effort some people can be reached. I applaud those willing to try and reach them.

That's a fair point.
I wish COVID had gotten them all.
Maybe we'll get an influenza pandemic in the next few decades (bird flu's looking sort of promising) and they're generally much deadlier. Of course it'll kill horrifying amounts of "innocent" people, but considering that reich-wingers don't believe in vaccines they'll likely be overrepresented in the death statistics
That some think feminism means female supremacy
Doesn’t help when some feminists think that as well. We have a famous and influential feminist here in Germany (Alice Schwarzer), who did a lot for feminism in 70s and 80s, but now is a reactionary who stands for TERF, censorship, mass surveillance, female supremacy, and "anyone who doesn’t like me is anti-feminist".
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
–Isaac Asimov, 1980
Yeah because stupid is loud.
