It's my fault in that I am not rich like the big donors who bought our political system? I'm sorry that I do not have a million dollars to throw around.
Maybe, but it can also be the grounds for revolution rather than fascism. But even if this point is correct, I ask: is better to go quietly into the extermination camps they're setting up? Or should you ardently resist, struggle, and force them to drag you into the camp? I quote Dylan Thomas to make my point:
Polling people over Zyklon B and its application is absurd. It shows that you either asked a foolish question or the recipients did not comprehend Zyklon B. Zyklon B was the cyanide-based pesticide gas used by the Nazis at Auschwitz-Birkenau, Majdanek, and other extermination camps. My point is that we're dealing with Nazis resurgent, and the Dem's tacos are a so limited in their messaging/resistence that its absurd. Evil is winning, and tacos are not how you oppose evil.
You don't know me. You don't know what communities I am and am not apart of. Furthermore, it is bold of you to assume I was speaking for anybody but myself. I was merely stating my position that tacos are a poultry pittance of a resistance against the evil that is the Republican party.
One of them made a joke that referenced fritz haber. I think she knows what zyklon b was.
So you admit you're just preaching hate? Because youre the real fascist?
Fascism is just revolutionary conservatism. You're really not helping your case here.
You don't know me! You dont know how i do things!
Also opposing evil is action, and action is fascist.
You know what neitzsche said: "he who fights monsters is always automatically worse than the other guy, because hes fighting abd fighting is bad."
Rage is not the same thing as hate. Where rage is an intense feeling of passion, hate is an extreme dislike or disgust. They are synonymous, but they are not the same. Rage would have been what they French expressed against King Louis the XVI and the first two estates, hate is what the Nazis expressed against the Jews and the other undesirables.
Fascism need not even be brought in via a coup. While Mussolini took over from a coup, Hitler was elected. They were revolutionary mindsets in that they were so diametrically opposed to the established reigns of power, but conservatism is not necessarily the direction revolution must follow. Take for example the French revolution or compare the Mensheviks with the Bolsheviks. Both those revolutions had a leftist slant. Hell even the American Revolution was a leftist position compared to the British parliament's conservatism that was undertaken in during its empire.
Really? Tell that to MLK, Rosa Parks, or the march across the bridge to Montgomery. Tell that to the allies as they fought against actual Nazis.
So you admit that what you really want isn't freedom, but a new red terror that makes the streets run red with blood? Thanks, comrade 1794; youre really selling the hell out of this
And kinda missed the point
Im sorry, but no; all action is fascist and only total submission and paralysis can be accepted.
Im old enough to have actually talked to a few of those guys, and, um... Clearly you aren't, or missed the opportunity.
Plus they took action, which is the most fascist tjing you can do. Fighting against fascism is the real fascism.
That is exactly what the rapist says to his victim.
Yep. You keep seig heiling.
Only because someone on the left was inconsiderate to me a single time like 15 years ago. I wouldn't be doing this if not for you people.
Wow, appropriating rape to a rape survivor AND suggesting i actually do literally anything ever (which, again; would be fascist)
