just found this while scrolling and it seems remarkably similar to consistent progressivism but with contrasting values; wanted to ask what are the core fundamentals of quidditism and how does it compare to consistent progressivism; what would be some key differences between the two stances /neu
We could be considered similar for 2 aspects.
First one is, we're radqueer adjacent, and so are they. That means being pro-para, pro-bodily autonomy, pro-transid, and profiction for example.
The second similarity is that contrary to the radqueer community, that is closer to the MOGAI community on this point, we are not just a community for people to be themselves. We would like to do some activism as well, a trait we share with consistent progressivism.
However, the similarities stop there, and thank goodness.
I am working on an article about this, but they are basically fascists that covered themselves in rainbows. For a quick explanation, I reblogged this post (link) that explains the basics pretty well.
But let me give you the three main differences.
First: science denial. They redefine words and consider using Google and dictionaries as being conservative. Here is a screenshot of their Discord server.
In the thread linked to this, they list words that are conservative to use in their opinions. These words include parent, family, adult, anarchy, biology and age, amongst others.
Second: they believe everyone can consent to everything. Here is their resources about this. We quidditists have much needed nuance on this subject.
Third: to preface this, I'll start by sharing a screenshot of their definition of conservatism.
In short, they define anyone who holds discriminatory views as a conservative.
In practise, anyone that does not fully agrees with them is labelled a conservative. I won't get into it here, but it is one of the few cult tactics they use: the "Us vs Them" mentality.
Now, the bigger problem with this, is that they wish to violently genocide and torture everyone they see as conservative. They talk about this quite often in their Discord server, and even asks new members to describe how they would torture and violate a conservative in order to get verified.
Here is proof of them wanting to unforce this violence on everyone they label a conservative.
(other than their graphic & Discord sticker, the black & white images are quote pics made with a bot from messages on their servers, that they keep in a special channel)
Quidditism advocates for violence to only be used if you need to, as a last resort, and strictly as much as necessary and humane. Aka no torture, rape, slavery,...
I hope this clears things up! And thank you for your good faith question! /g
If anyone has any more questions, please send them my way! I'd be happy to answer them! /g
bro n@zism is not "when killing any group of people" šš
Correct. Nazism is āextreme racist or authoritarian views or behavior.ā (Oxford Dictionaries)
The primary goal of Nazis is to create a āVolksgemeinschaftā. Which means the Peopleās Community, however the word was later turned to mean a cleansing of previous āinferiorā races/ideologies/practices and to replace them with the Aryan. The Aryan was not only determined to be the āMaster Raceā by Adolf Hitler, but the Aryan was also characterizrd to be those who are dedicated to defending the Nazi party and political movement.
So, I did use the term Nazi correctly, if that is what you were trying to get at.
Consistent Progressivism prides itself on eliminating inferior beliefs or practices that they determine to be āConservativeā. And that is step 1 of Fascism (or as I say, Nazism). By them watering down and dehumanizing a group of people into a very wide term and to be used derogatory, is step 1.
Step 2 is to seek and assault, kill, hunt or destroy a large group of people. And for them, Consistent Progressives, this is a large part of their identity. They torture and exterminate people who identify as conservative or use āConservative Languages/Practicesā.
Now, step 2.5 is to change the definition of terminology in order for them to seem the most correct ideology and political class of people. And for Consistent Progressives, they did this by turning the definition of āConservativeā into something that benefits their party.
Their definition: āA political worldview defined by a broad category of ideas either implicitly or explicitly believing that people should be discriminated against because of their race, gender identity, pronouns, sexual identity, or anything else regarding their identity that does not harm othersā
The true definition: āa person who is averse to change and holds traditional values.ā (Oxford)
Along with step 2.5, they are against any other dictionary and discourage their followers from using dictionaries like Oxford and deem the usage as āConservativeā (see step 2)
I hope this helps you. If you need help getting out of a cult like this, my dms are open and I am never judgemental.
