"Phobia" is often branded as denoting fear alone due to our familiarity with phobias of spiders and such but truthfully, etymologically speaking it's simply the antonym of the Greek "philia" which means "love for". Whether it be thought of as hate or fear isn't as important as the fact that it represents opposition to something.
That said, most of us do fear the repercussions of these things as overall concepts while not fearing individuals. I absolutely fear a world where our children are convinced it's trendy and cool to mutilate their bodies. I am absolutely transphobic as I oppose the trans movement.
Yes. They're used to call something bad, by the left. It doesn't change that they're the real terms. The point is that if we don't reclaim these terms and call out the absurdity of the implication that phobias are always bad, the only other option is to continue looking stupid and in denial.
I fear a world where my child turns into a spider too. That doesn't make me arachnophobic. It's just not denial, dude. You're using the worst possible word to describe something. Idk if you are legit transphobic or racist etc, but I'm not. I don't agree with the trans movement either, and I would hate if my child became trans, that doesn't mean I straight up hate trans people though or fear them. If you then yes you are legit transphobic, but most people who disagree with the movement aren't super polarised like that.
I already said I didn't fear or hate trans individuals. I fear the repercussions of the trans movement. I'm in opposition of the trans movement and therefore I'm transphobic, logically so and proudly so.
Also, yes, that actually does in fact make you arachnophobic in a certain sense of the word. If you feared it in the sense that you actually believed it was a possibility, you would have a form of arachnophobia.
You have to push their boot off of you, man. They have us trained like show dogs. When you wake up and see what I have it's like discovering you previously lived in a Matrix with the left as the architects. It's time to wake up and fight back. It's time to stop fighting their war their way.
The left is bullying the right
