I've seen a lot of TLs where they use Adolf Hitler in capacities where Hitler does not become... well Hitler. Are all of them "Whitewashing" the crimes of the OTL Hitler? At this point the only criticisms are: 1) You convinced Pinochet to run for President and then didn't talk about him much and 2) You made some OTL bad people ok to good ITTL people while not opining about how evil they are in OTL. Such arguments are pedantic and one dimensional.

How about everyone in this thread chills out, grills something, sets off some fireworks and enjoys the 4th?
No such accusations occurred the other times, and yet you guys overreacted all the same.
The problem of whitewashing known far-rightists and divergent individuals aside,Freyism offers nothing new or worthwhile intellectually.I fail to see how is it supposed to be a "new" ideology while it seems to be empty platitudes on "freedom" and "tyranny" without much ground-level theory. And afterwards ,"humanity is at fault for wanting a Big Brother" followed by "we need a totally-not-authoritarian symbolic state to protect our freedoms and expand it" seems begging to fall into authoritarianism the first contact with problems.
"Beyond left and right" is,surprise surprise,a Third Positionist talking point.

Okay. I am calm. I’m just so tired of this bullshit; back and forth, back and forth. It’s never ending.
On my account, I guess i'm civil. if I don't agree with a TL then I just don't read it and let everyone that likes it have a good time. People don't seem to know that I'm here to have a good time. And I passionately defend my work.
What's the use in hewing to the same tired tropes? What's wrong with being bold and going for something completely unique. Part of why I selected people like Cousteau and and created the neo-Inca movement is to do something unique and daring. I think this site could use more of that, to be honest. Why do I describe it neutrally? I've seen TLs that are brazen about their political leanings on both sides and it turns me off.

Well, I’m sure you can find some excuse to engage in wholesome debauchery...I’m Canadian and there is a fire ban in my area
A fair critique. i'm sure that within the TL there were plenty of figures that made the deeper ideological and philosophical arguments in favor of Freyism, but I didn't see the need to delve into it. My posts were already too long to begin with. This is a hobby, not a manifesto. I'm sure in some alternate universe some AH writer is being pilloried for not describing communism deeply enough. That being said, thank you for offering a civil critique

Because this is clearly disgusting, goes beyond a question of mere dislike and actively engages in defending fascists and genocide.
In a world where there's actual fascists on the march again glorifying them even in fiction is inexcusable. The Congressman is posting shit that needs calling out and dismissing those clear facts as "childish insults" says quite a bit about you.

You don’t get to respond to a reasoned criticism with a personal attack like that.
Kicked for a week.

I’m kicking people who get rude and insulting. I don’t care if people want to make criticism and respond to criticism, but insults are out of line.

There have been no such screeds made, to my knowledge. You seem to just have a lot of trouble dealing with criticism and responding like an adult to it.
