  • I came across u/impractical_island a while back on the Just Post community here on Lemmy, and I was kind of fascinated by the delusional rambling. At first, I thought it was low-effort trolling, but I investigated their post history a little further, and it became clear that it’s untreated/undertreated mental illness (specifically schizoaffective disorder, per their comment history). There’s actually a little bit of lore you can string together out of the nonsense. I check in on their profile every once in a while to see what’s new in the “monadic nodal communication system.” I hope they get the help they need, they claim they’re on medication, but it seems to be ineffective as the delusional shit-posting continues. I read this comment and immediately clocked it as the same person.












  • I think you misunderstand the origins and meaning of the saying. The saying itself is based on historical context, where liberals in places like Italy and Germany chose to support growing fascist movements in the name of maintaining some sort of stability and perceived normalcy, instead of combatting those movements alongside communists and socialists. As an example, in my opinion we are seeing the same history play out again in the modern United States as various corporations, universities, and state governments, etc are following along with certain policies of the Trump administration in order to maintain normalcy instead of choosing to resist those policies and cause an upset. The saying “scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds” is based on the historical kowtowing of moderates and liberals to fascist movements instead of choosing to resist.
