Someone just asked the opposite of this question here and I was wondering if there are cases were you’re just not interested in something but you know the community is great nonetheless.

    Strength is good

    Is shit that fascists say. Just a heads up.

    And “tradition,” at least in this context, is almost always based in bigotry.

      Fascists say some things that are normal, like anyone else; they just also say a lot of things that are evil. This one is normal. Strength is used as a tool by fascists but it in and of itself is not inherently bad.

      Republican tradition is generally something that hurts our ability to make social progress, yes.

        “Strength” when used in political contexts, is almost always related to some form of oppression at the very least.

        I am struggling to think of a time when hearing a politician speak about “strength” could be seen as a good thing. Perhaps briefly, directly after 9/11, but before we decided to invade the wrong countries? Even then, it was more about unity than any kind of strength.
