Does anyone have a cure?
Laws do not apply to the terminally ill.
That’s a myth, it’s actually quite common.
Is it rare? I doubt that.
Rare in that it doesn’t happen that often here.
It’s metastasized rather quickly, however.It could be terminal if we don’t get the right people to excise it quickly enough.
“Right people” might be how we got it. /rimshot
Definitely not rare, more like malignant, aggressive, terminal…
But the cancer analogy does work, because you can’t cure it with band aids (like elections), you have to cut the fucker out at its core, radiate the remaining tissue to make sure none is left behind (via education and a complete overhaul of how society functions, with zero tolerance for bigotry), and continue to get regular check ups to make sure it hasn’t returned, and if it does, radiate the fucker again before it metastasises.
We did it to Germany, but it probably needs another dose of chemo at this point, like a disturbing amount of places around the world.
No one really did it to Germany at all, nor anywhere else, including the country Hitler got his inspiration from.
The truth is WWII wasn’t fought over bigotry and hate and the fact that people were being exterminated on an industrial scale, it was fought so those in power could stay in power and maintain the status quo, and also make a handsome profit. War always is.
Fascism is capitalism in decay, we will never be rid of one, without abolishing the other.
Best not vote! That’ll fix it.
If you think the leadership in the Democratic party currently isn’t like 80-90% of the way there already, please wake up.
Thank you for being the prime example.
This assumes that voting for managed fascism conducting genocide is going to solve the problem as opposed to chaotic fascism that will continue what the blue fascists started.
Few people here think it would’ve solved any problems, however it might have prevented some trans people being dead over the next few years.
If that’s your take, I respect that.
Voting is not even the bare minimum required to prevent fascism. Fascism is Capitalism in decay, you can’t just vote Capitalism forever and somehow not end up at fascism.
Organize outside the electoral system.
Yes, exactly. It’s best to just not have your voice heard. Don’t vote now, and don’t protest later.
It’s not that rare unfortunately. It’s spread across more than half the globe.
The last time this happened we needed a world war to root it out. It’s looking increasingly likely that we’re gonna need another one.
The Nazis were copying the US practices towards blacks; was it really rooted out, or just some secondary tumours?
Germany lost, fascism won
Are you sure It’s not low information voters who spend most of their time politically deactivated, feel disenfranchised from the economic controls that rule their lives, and have poor media literacy?
Those are symptoms of capitalism… So is fascism
you think socialists can’t be dumb? the russian propaganda sure is working on you
““rare””
you mean common symptom of capitalism :p
Rare?
Does anyone have a cure?
Yea we do!
Pretty neat huh.
Took the words right out of my mouth
People think it’s a jokes but that what non fascism American will have to do if they ever want another election in their lifetime
Listening to the hosts of a lot of my podcasts talk about how “the next four years are going to be tough.”
…
Bro, you have children and LGBT friends, are you being serious?
The next rest of your life is going to be rough.
Yep, and Socialism is necessary to prevent it from cropping up again.
That was clever and dark as most of his works.
It’s not the original line.
E: it’s the suggested cure for insomnia
saw damn really?
Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
lol, all good, thanks tho
Violence?! 😑
Yes!
There are better ways… since you’re here on this platform you’re already doing one of them
That is incredibly naive. Just look at history. Fascists were always defeated by violent resistance. And nothing else.
Those who claimed to fight them peacefully all shut up right when they got into power and only quietly showed their discontent behind closed doors, while they kept on living under the fascists. Many even came to support the fascists after it wasn’t so uncouth to do so…
The people who were afraid of doing anything real at first, but certainly opposed fascism with their core, rose up and took arms against them when it became too much. Those were the partisans and their civilian allies in the cities and villages. And thousands and thousands died fighting the fascists alongside the Soviet communists. And that is the only thing that worked.
Commenting on a website will never defeat fascism. If the “holy institutions” of democracy and liberalism failed, how could a silly tiny insignificant postboard succeed?
So you want to challenge their ways by their rules!!
I think what’s naive is knowing history, and still repeating the past’s mistakes, a revolution may have all the flashy and beautiful themes like liberty and union but if it’s not built on a solid ethical foundation then it’s doomed to repeat the pasts mistakes ( war, genocides… Etc ) even if the near future outcome is what you’re hoping for, It will all collapse… again
I’m not referring to the act of commenting on a website as the sole method of change, this is just one tiny step, how do you think a small group of people ( some call them capitalists, billionaires, elites, whatever you wanna call them… ) are able to control the majority… It’s because they put their ideological differences aside, and They’re organizated and they plan for the future…
What I meant by that comment is that if you aren’t on their networks of surveillance they have less control over you, think about it from a bigger perspective now, their food system, their banking institutions, their schooling systems… etc etc…
And make no mistake, They’re not threatened by your philosophy, especially if it’s a philosophy like theirs ( uses violence as a solution ), They’re threatened by your action, try to exit their banking system and see how hard it is, try to evade Surveillance and see how hard it is… Try to be independent in terms of food and see how hard it is… you can’t do it alone, but with a group of like minded people, you have a chance
zing! You said the fascism word, and you made it “clever”!
For that diagnosis, that will be $28,865.89 and an additional $56.76 per day of none payment.
I think capitalism is the cancer. Fascism is just the symptom of late stage capitalism.
Agreed
100%. Fascism is a defense mechanism for dying Capitalism. Dr. Michael Parenti helps explain fascism’s causes, interests, and characteristics in the first chapter of Blackshirts and Reds.
Seriously, it’s time to quarantine the US and seriously purge Europe before it gets any worse
Cancers aren’t contagious, which means this is a pox.
Unless you think of earth/humanity as one organism.
I’ve been mulling over getting some “I DID THAT!” stickers of an ass oh… I mean Trump pointing with that text above his head for when he inevitably raises prices of everything.
I cannot emphasize this enough. Do NOT make it trump. His health will likely take him out before that.
Bring it on to point directly at 2 people: Musk and Vance.
We actually will see those two in 2028. Stop focusing on the distraction. All Trump is right now is a distraction.
Passing doesn’t mean he didn’t contribute to it. I see your point nonetheless.
