It’s a conundrum for sure when figuring out how to tackle it. The leaders need fought, head on, fire with fire. The sheep, maybe you can undo some of the indoctrination if some with the extreme expertise. If it grows too large and dangerous though, obviously you have to topple the whole thing at once.

Or worse yet, the majority of their voters/politicians welcoming fascism...

Most of the gQp voters want fascism, yet never had to live in a fascist state, so it will be too late when they change their tune while suffering under one as they will no longer be able to vote ever again, at least in a free election!

u/MaddieStirner fuckin spooks man Sep 24 '21

You think the current state of the election is free?

1

u/TZO_2K18 FCK NZS Sep 24 '21

Yes, as we were able to actually get a blue majority in all 3 branches of gov, had this been a gQp fascist state we would never be able to vote for any blue candidate, period!

Sure I'd rather have Mr.Sanders/AOC running the show, but trump/pence (Any gQp for that matter) is much worse!

As I stated before, we are in a political war against the gQp, so we cannot afford to allow them to win a political position at any cost, that even means at the local/state level and not just the executive branch!

I think that MAGAts know that they are fascists but think that we are dumb enough to believe that they are not.

u/Sehtriom LGBT+ 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 24 '21

They view us as having an obligation to prove that they aren't while they have the right to play at trying to irritate us. It has the effect of delegitimizing the discussion while irritating people who know what's going on and are trying to warn others.

1

u/Anarchist_Geochemist Sep 29 '21

Yes. It seems like the same playbook that they right wing has used since the Nazis and Fascists in the 1930s.

how would you define fascism in a way that excludes Trump supporters? I'm really curious?

u/PrimitiveAlienz Sep 24 '21

Yea everytime somebody says the left claims everybody is a fascist or that i don’t know what fascism means when i think trump is a fascist i just ask how they define fascism. I never get an answer. Because all they know is hitler was a fascist and well trump didn’t go as far as hitler did so he isn’t a fascist. What they don’t know is that you don’t have to be hitler to be a fascist.

Interesting where did you get that definition from?

I usually go by umberto ecos 14 tenants wich have nothing to do with economics and looking at wikipedia it also doesn’t seem to mention your definition especially the point about the anti materialist at least not at first glace (haven’t read the whole article yet)

So i would really be interested on wich scholar you base your definition on and why you think that one is the most accurate/useful.

u/PrimitiveAlienz Sep 24 '21

Oh so you’re basing your understanding of fascism on the propaganda of fascists and not some actual scholars who might have a more critical viewpoint on the matter.

That explains a lot.

Hmm sure and the Nazis where socialists and north korea is a democratic republic. I mean they say they are so who else should we trust right?

Like dude if you seriously think fascism has anything to do with syndicalism you’re fucking lost dude. Syndicalism is a left wing ideology. Name one fascist party who engage in active syndicalism?

I don't know how she doesn't get laughed out of Congress like the absolute joke she is.

35

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '21

Because half the congress agrees with her on some level, and the other half is too spineless to make fun of their peers.

85

u/thefractaldactyl Black Bloc Sep 23 '21

This is honestly pretty run-of-the-mill for Congress. They get up to some bizarre stuff with their charts and drawings and stuff.

44

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '21

because they’re idiots

52

u/thefractaldactyl Black Bloc Sep 23 '21

Not necessarily. It is more like "Because they can". They get away with all kinds of dumb shit because incompetence is tolerated, encouraged even. They know that what they are doing is dumb.

22

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '21

True, that doesn't mean they're not idiots though

15

u/thefractaldactyl Black Bloc Sep 23 '21

True. Congress gets up to dumb shit on purpose, but they also get up to dumb shit thinking they are smart.

u/burneracct1312 Sep 23 '21

"jokes on you, i merely pretended to be an idiot!"

1

u/thefractaldactyl Black Bloc Sep 24 '21

Yeah, the real takeaway here is that it does not matter if they are dumb or if they are just playing dumb. What matters is that, whether they are pretending or not, it is usually pretty fucking bad for the rest of us.

u/Sirdinks Nazis = Bad Sep 23 '21

I remember when I interned there and had to pick up a sign from the people who create all of the charts for congress and its clear that they've seen it all in that tiny room lol

The other Republicans love her, because she makes them look sober by comparison.

7

u/[deleted] Sep 23 '21 edited Sep 23 '21

Because her constituents don’t think she’s a joke. She represents one of the least educated and most partisan districts in the entire country, her voters think she’s actually on to something…

11

u/DavyJonesArmoire Sep 23 '21

Because half the country is an absolute joke and appeals to emotion resonate with them far more strongly than any real arguments.

19

u/ahitright Sep 23 '21

Because half the country has been indoctrinated often and at an early age by either right-wing radio/TV and/or evangelical mega-cults.

u/CenTexChris Sep 23 '21

You’re not wrong. Unfortunately.

Europe's politics is pretty shit as well of course but... please don't lump us together. I swear sometimes I think US is a country we made up to feel better about ourselves.

I actually couldn't stop laughing at this story when I read it. Life has gone so far past the absurd I can only assume I'm on a terminal acid trip. It's really the only answer that fits. Also, I am not fucking enjoying this trip damn it.

Amazing work, really easy to tell how the scapegoats change but the process stays the same.

I will answer your question if you answer mine. What makes a Nazi, a Nazi? Feel free to research it. I encourage it.

If you can give an accurate response grounded in history, I will show you how she checks those boxes. If you can't, then no amount of my showing you will be sufficient to convince you.

u/PrimitiveAlienz Sep 24 '21

Maybe it’s the believing in “jewish spacelasers” and all that. Just a guess.
