"feeling uncomfortable about someone else" that's what fascism is dear. Conservatives so are so uncomfortable about what people have in their pants and what they do with it that they want to ban people from talking about transgender and sexuality topics

Maybe you’re new here, but fascism and liberalism are two sides of the capitalist coin. Liberals stopped masking almost the instant Biden set foot in the White House, despite the fact that 2/3 of covid deaths occurred while Biden was office (liberals will also excuse Biden’s “inaction” while claiming that Trump, who occupied the same office, was a tyrannical authoritarian totalitarian dictator who ran roughshod over the hallowed institutions of our precious democracy). Capitalism is a death cult, workers should run the world, not bourgeois scum and their running dogs.

Biden's been in office 2.5x as long as US covid was a thing under Trump.

I agree Biden has decided to throw some lives in the chipper to keep REITs and employers happy, but the "twice as many deaths under Biden" stat is empty ragecalories.

Reliance on ableist insults reveals a casual comfort with eugenics 😉

Right. Sugar coat it however you want, sweetheart, but you’re talking like a fucking moron. 😂

If I had to inhabit your brain, I would look for ways to turn it off

And I would love to shut off the brains of all the people who follow and love fascist scum, but they’ve already done that for me so. :(

Which countries funded and supported the Nazis and which country liberated Auschwitz? thinkin-lenin

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t know. I tried to look it up and see, but all I got was this https://www.hmmsa.org/the-journey-through-nazism-to-liberation So, if that was supposed to be some gotcha moment, you might want to include your sources so that I can actually see and read whatever the hell you’re going on about. I honestly don’t care enough to keep replying to you.

Fascism is when you raise an eyebrow at the idea that capitalism has existed since the dawn of time.

[–] LucidNightmare@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What…? Capitalism is fucking stupid too. I only believe in technocracy so… you’re trying to make.. a point.. or something? Anyway, as I replied to the other little butthurt fascist, I don’t care enough to keep replying so.

[–] duderium@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the hell is technocracy? Is it when everyone gives daddy elon a blowjob?

Im not sure; while fascism is certainly the logical conclusion of lieralism. And we can observe so in the protofascist regimes in early 20th century mexico and turkey. i think liberalism is paraphiletic to fascism sort of like reptiles are to birds. The material conditions that enable one over the other are distinct enough, and the core ideological asumptions seem to be different.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

fascism as an ideology is still at it's core a defense of capitalism. liberalism has many flavors but it includes everything that exists to support, reinforce, and defend the capitalist project. fascism is only different in that the violence liberalism wreaks in the colonies are turned inwards, towards the nations of the imperial core. but violence itself is a central pillar of all ideologies and it does not differentiate liberalism from fascism.
