Had the urge to upbear immediately without even reading the thread. I'm glad for you that you made that decision, i can say for myself that getting off all the hellsites was a pretty big improvement for my mental health, general mood and blood pressure.

Completely brain-melted terf
i honestly don't know other activist transphobes than the completely brain-melted kind. The main difference is if they're ex-feminist-turned-fascist, clericofascist, or techbro fascist, but all of them are rotten, vile, totally unhinged monomaniacs.
I've seen Umberto Eco's checklist simultaneously be rejected and accepted by the left. Some will say that it's non-Marxist and prefer not to use it, but if anybody here says "the enemy is both strong and weak," nobody (that I've seen) rejects that rhetoric device.
Ur-fascism should be understood and used as what it is, an essay on the semiotics of fascism. It works as a critique of ideology, and it works very well in that regard. What it does not achieve at all, because that lies outside of the scope of that essay, is explaining the historic and material roots of fascism, which is where the usual Marxist explanations come into play, such as the essay you're quoting, or the definition by Dimitroff that expanded upon Stalin's theory of social fascism, Trotzkis counterpoints to that (that put more emphasis on the role of the petit bourgeoisie), the (debatable and in my opinion subcomplex) "agent theory" used in the DDR or later post-colonial variations like the concept of Foucault's Boomerang or Fanon's writings. When used correctly, Eco isn't contradictory to these, but complementary.

Usually better opinions on current events than people my age
I'd even say that young people today have better opinions on current events than people my age had when they were their age. Most late Gen Xers were always awful about politics, just pure end of history garbage. We're the generation that grew up with AES being replaced by Pizza Hut and shock therapy, and the kids these days grow up with the planet being set on fire by capitalism, so this shouldn't surprise anybody.

robust: gutting all social safety systems and public education
-
sustainable: making sure there's a solid trickle-up of wealth that used to belong to the public

inclusive: in one way or the other, this will fuck over anybody who isn't at least a US$ millionaire

the antithesis to "what 0 theory does to a mfer"
i think i'd projectile vomit at the mere sight
my spring style: big goth dyke (accent coolor lavender)
my summer style: big goth dyke
my autumn / winter style: big goth dyke
my thought process behind this: "i think i wanna be a big goth dyke so i can kiss lots of girls and sack Rome"
Closed off pride month just in time by sleeping with a trans micro-celebrity, attending a nice queer party with my friends and then taking my gal pal home for the most intense play sessions we've ever had. Pretty crazy weekend, at some point i actually cried with joy that this is my life now and that i get to meet all these wonderful, amazing people. If somebody would've shown me pics of my dates from last weekend and present-day me 3 years ago in my questioning phase, i would not have believed them that it could be real. But here i am. God, i love being trans, coming out is the best thing i ever did.
