Stop waiting for the ‘real Nazis’ to show up. They’re here. White supremacy today doesn’t look like the organised party system of the 20th century, because it doesn’t need to. This is gig-economy fascism. Entrepreneurial white supremacy. Serving the interests of tyrants by proxy.

    Oh being autistic I get that, but people have already explained the literal meaning and this person just doesn’t seem to want to hear it

      No, people have explained that it’s a metaphor, which is non-literal meaning. I’m saying that the guy you reply to is likely one that doesn’t grasp that concept.

        If you genuinely think they don’t understand feel free to explain it to them further rather than expect others to waste their emotional labour instead of doing it yourself

          Hey, chill out, friend :) I don’t expect anything from you, I was just trying to say something relevant for everyone who’s reading.

          While I responded to your comment, I’m not really talking to you directly, rather just trying to add to the discussion. I didn’t mean to cause you any grief, sorry.

            I’m perfectly chill and you’ve not caused me any grief, you’ve just not contributed anything to the conversation by saying that something might need to be explained differently without even attempting to do any explaining yourself, but expecting others to.

              I’ve never said that something should need to be explained differently. I’ve not talked about explaining at all, actually. I’m not sure where you’ve got that from.

              I just said that some people don’t grasp it. If I would talk about explaining things, I’d say that explanations are completely lost for these kind of people.

                That just makes your “contribution” to the conversation even more useless, you’ve literally added nothong. Now fuck off and stop wasting my time

        The reference to gig economies is just illustrating sometime else (labor markets) that has very obviously reorganized in that same time frame.
