Title: Fascism
Post by pg on 06/30/19 at 04:33:58

Where is the fascism?  I don’t see any….  I do not dispute right wing ideologies and  racism exist; however, that is not fascism.  In short Wikipedia defines fascism as:

Fascism (/[ch712]fæ[ch643][ch618]z[ch601]m/) is a form of radical right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

Where is the dictatorial power, forcible suppression?  Just because Trump is a nationalist, does not mean he implements fascism.  No, people who are citizens of foreign countries do not have rights here.      
Please make an honest effort to address the premise if this thread.

Again, where is the fascism?

Best regards,

Why take the time, just so you can deny it.

Trump has made the rich richer with tax cuts, hired his own family, broken emolument laws, used executive and emergency powers rather than work with Congress, hired staff on foreign enemy payrolls, keeping acting positions to avoid Senate confirmations and investigations, ignored security clearances, tried to fire his own investigators, and tried shut down investigations into himself and his staff and family.  
He runs a hotel right near the White House that caters to foreign dignitaries for God's sake.
Don't you see any of these actions as consolidating power?
Fascism is the consolidating of power.  

I'll leave the rest to someone with more time to waste. :-/

I would add that fascism isn't the sole province of the right wing. History offers many fine examples of leftist fascism.
The above definition is flawed. Fascism isn't in my mind constrained to any particular political persuasion, it's universal to any mouth foaming fanatics.

The mention of 20th century Europe clearly indicates the author of that definition is of the revisionist historians trying to distance Nazism from leftist socialism it actually was.

Beware revisionist history. Those who rewrite the past are guilty of wanting to relive it all over again.

Post by Serowbot on 06/30/19 at 11:37:08

The definition of fascism has broadened over time to basically apply to someone in power that you don't like.

Socialism too,... seeing as any action taken by a government that applies to all citizens is a social action.

Communism is any action taken as group for the benefit of the community.

It's all just labels...
We still know what right and wrong are deep down.  
Ask any 4 year old.

Honestly I sometimes wonder if anyone born after the end of the Cold War actually knows the difference between right and wrong good or evil. They weren't raised with the constant threat of mutually assured destruction and never had to contemplate such a fate. They haven't really learnt to appreciate life and all that is good about it because they didn't have the looming specter of an evil that cold and calculating enough to end all life on the planet.

Obviously nobody should ever have had to grow up with such circumstances as that. But I think it had a unifying effect on people you don't see anywhere nowadays. It's very weird to think of anything good coming out of the Cold War but looking at today's new species of humanity it makes me wonder....

 I think the issue is the "enemy" changes and a lot of people expect kids to behave like they did when they were young in what should be considered a completely foreign environment given rapid technological and societal change.

 Kids in school today are not concerned about Russia or North Korea dropping nukes as much as they are about someone shooting up their school, or being assaulted by a family member, or being publicly humiliated in Social Media like Revenge P orn.

 Kids perception of threat is different because the enemy is different and society is different.  One generation feared plague, one feared famine, one feared economic collapse, one feared military invasion, one feared nukes, one feared AIDS, etc. etc.

I definitely, most intentionally, stood on a guy's laces in Odessa years ago. He didn't go down, but he looked like he was almost ready to fight. I just shrugged and said, Ohhh, I didn't notice your shoes aren't tied..
He walked away, and the clerk and I had a good laugh...

Why do people want to wear pants that fall off or shoes not tied? That's nothing but aggravating..

This is part of the point I was trying to make, we don't live in anything that resembles fascism.  The left and Antifa use the term very loosely to justify their harressment, intimidation, and assult on their political opponents.

In their infinite wisdom Antifa has announced that all Heavy Metal is racist and Nazi.  ::)
So I guess all of the non-white metal bands are also nazi racists?
And what a shame to learn Christian Metal is Nazi racists too.

Black Legion, KKK, Antifa. All the same in my mind. Wearing masks like cowards and committing acts of violence and terrorism only discredits whatever cause you think you're fighting for. Assuming of course violence in and of itself isn't the entire motivation to begin with.

 Well to be fair "Antifa" is not an organized group.  This is a situation where one Antifa group said something.

 Kind of like saying one church is anti heavy metal so every church in the country is.

 Either way unless they show up in my area I could care less what they say.

AntiFa is a fascist, anti-American organization rapidly closing in as an acceptable subgroup of the modern Leftist Democratic Party. They will continue unless strong willed politicians on the Left take measures against them using police force. (The mayor of Portland is a disgrace.)They are made up of mostly white, surburban raised males and resemble European soccer holligans more than anything else. Or perhaps closer would be Brad Pitt's character and The Army of the 12 Monkeys.

A Leftist Mob Attacked Me in Portland

Posted on 7/3/2019, 6:25:50 AM by Freeport

Portland, Ore.

‘No hate! No fear!” chanted the left-wing crowd as they marched downtown Saturday. I walked to the front of the line to record the protesters with my new GoPro camera when I was suddenly slammed on the back of my head with something hard. Dazed and still hearing faint chants of “no hate,” I was then punched and kicked by perhaps a dozen masked people in black. At an Antifa event meant to resist “fascist violence,” I—a gay journalist of color—was beaten so badly that I was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage.

Since last year, I have been targeted by Antifa and its allies for my critical coverage of their violent extremism. I’ve reported those incidents to the Portland Police Bureau, and in some cases I’ve identified suspects, but there were no arrests. The mainstream media describe Antifa as “antifascist,” but in fact it is a far-left paramilitary-style movement of anarchists and communists agitating for a revolution.

Antifa is known for wearing black and concealing faces with masks to commit crimes under the protection of group anonymity. The Homeland Security Department has described some of Antifa’s activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” but Portland recently voted to withdraw from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, citing concerns the Federal Bureau of Investigation targeted left-wing activists.

On June 29, Antifa organized a milkshake-themed counterprotest against two small right-wing groups. The event was inspired by the new practice—a British import—of throwing milkshakes on conservative or right-wing figures. Vox.com’s Carlos Maza encouraged such assaults in a May tweet: “Milkshake them all. Humiliate them at every turn. Make them dread public organizing.”

Well pro golfer, I'm not sure how many times I have to say this, but - I don't support the violence that accompanies some of their protests, but I support the message of ant-fascism.  Are you clear on that?

Their is no fascism in this country and Bot even said "The definition of fascism has broadened over time to basically apply to someone in power that you don't like."  These people harrass, intimidate, and assult their political opponents.

 I grew up next to an elderly Jewish couple and for years twice a month one of my family drove them downtown to an Antifa meeting and their group never once committed an act of violence that I am aware of.

 Antifa has been around for a while, but is not in its entirety violent.

 Its easy to reference violent Antifa activities these days as it has a strong social media culture, and as such will expand as long as people complain instead of getting involved.

 My issue is that Antifa has too many varying degrees of activity in too many geographical areas to, in my mind, meet the definition of a nationally organized group.  There is no national board/council/leadership etc. instead they spread and organize in the same way dating apps, Uber and similar entities work.

As this thread indicates, anyone claiming Antifa involvement can say anything and it is reliably trusted since there is no single national source to verify.  Literally anyone could post "Antifa is going to the moon" and there is no governing body to verify that with.

Again, show me one democrat that condones these outbursts of antifa violence.

Also, show me where I express happiness about this abuse.

Lastly, you're right, this is indeed on me.  As it is on you and everyone else.

I don't deny the violence in far too many confrontations between antifa identified people and groups like the proud boys.  Far too many on the right simply point at the people in masks calling themselves antifa and ignore that the far right is equally, and in many cases, far more violent.

To say it's only one-sided is ignorant.

The silence of the MSM and a few half hearted comments from leading Democrats reveals whose side they're on.

When Trump condemned white nationalist, you and others lied saying he did not. The whole "fine people on both sides" lie. Even the leading Presidential Candidate Biden repeated this lie in his announcement with no objections.

No, your attempts to plant the seed of moral equivalency are not valid. Think at the outrage directed towards one young teenage boy's smile towards an activist Indian beating a drum compared to the muted responses  to violent attacks which were frankly a natural consequence to your demand for public confrontations. I recall you were thrilled with the idea of milkshake attacks.

You will find yourself in one of these crowds, perhaps sooner rather than later. At that point, you'll confront the leftist socialist's natural pull towards force to impose your views and punishment towards those who resist.

Tell me, would you join a crowd in a restaurant chanting until Ted Cruz and his wife left? Would you stand outside Tucker Carlson's house shouting profanity at anyone inside?

They're actually quite valid.  The racist, white extremist crowd has far more actual blood on its hands than the left.

Actually Eegore, this is the response in question:

On Aug. 15, 2017, President Donald Trump held a press conference to discuss an executive order he had signed on infrastructure permitting. Reporters shortly began asking questions about Trump’s initial response to violent protests in Charlottesville, Va. It was at this press conference that Trump said that "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."

I thought you didn't like "whataboutisms"......  

What I posted wasn't a "whataboutism" it was a comparison of how groups gather.  You asked how and I used the moronic white supremacists as an example.  Are you offended that I called them idiots?

In no uncertain terms that was a "whataboutism", nice try but no.

I suppose only when it supports your narrative.  I'm not the one who supports Antifa, their tactics, and their values.  

Well pro golfer, I'm not sure how many times I have to say this, but - I don't support the violence that accompanies some of their protests, but I support the message of ant-fascism.  Are you clear on that?

Oh, I'm sorry pro golfer - let me spell it out for you - short of violence, I condone calling out fascism.  Intimidation, protest, and any other means within the bounds of legal activities are fine by me.



Their is no fascism in this country and Bot even said "The definition of fascism has broadened over time to basically apply to someone in power that you don't like."  These people harass, intimidate, and assault their political opponents.  

Oh, I think there's plenty of fascism in this country.  There's plenty to be concerned about.

Please site some examples.

Someone else can do the search but as I recalled, our friend TT felt chasing Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant was great. I recall a comment about milkshakes another time.

Point is, leftists like TT don't take kindly to anyone who can't grasp their imagined superior intellect. The popular line of thinking is the often repeated "dog whistle" phrase which is their idea Trump tells a joke and minons (including Russians) act out.

As we've seen however, "innocent" chasing people out of public places, chanting in front of their houses, quickly turns into the violence of the Democratic party's brown shirt brigade. Fact is, I've heard very little hard line condemnation against what happened to the reporter in Portland and I expect more of TT's mask friends to show up in other liberally dominated cities.

As the 2020 campaign moves along and as the eventual Democratic candidate falters, unless the leftist leaders step up and demand strict enforcement against their Brown Shirts, its going to get worse.

It won't end well for someone, that's for sure. Most Trump supporters don't wear hats, bumper stickers or yard signs because we know that's an invitation for an attack, but one of your rich little little suburban antifa kid takes a swipe at the wrong Trump bubba, and someone's not gonna wake up. That's as sure as the sun rising. Likewise as sure is how our friends here who seem to have a difficult time with proper moral comparisons will spin this into yet another imagined Trump dog whistle order to attack.

However, despite all this leftist crap, remember two things. 1) we've dealt with worse and survived. 2) Its the 4th of July which is cause to salute the most outstanding nation the world has ever witnessed. (Despite what a recent NY Times article said) We are a great country and have influenced the world for the better. Have a little pride today.

No, once again, you're wrong.  I said that it was in poor taste to chase out cruz and I never condoned anything with milkshakes.  You only wish I did.  You, for some reason, need to make this personal.  It's pretty sad mark.

The fact is mark, most of my posts are simply pointing out the massive hypocrisy of the right.  It doesn't take much intellect to simply repost the truth.  However, I can see where it may bother you that I highlight the fact that far too many on this forum seem to posses a less than firm grip on reality.  That, and the common lack of any grammar skills.   :D

Well mark, you haven't been paying attention.  I've condemned that type of behaviour.  The message of antifa is not one of violence, but the condemnation of fascism.  I never condone violence.  Period.

I have plenty of pride - as do all my democratic friends.  What we also have is disgust for a "president" who is a traitor and draft-dodger that wants to put on a show for himself.

How you and your cohorts can continue to stand by and condone this kind of behavior is beyond lunacy.

 A ton of people have similar viewpoints as TT in my experience.  

 For instance people continually ignore that he states very clearly Antifa is anti-fascist and can do so without violence, yet people continually relate violent Antifa actions to the non-violent concept TT supports.  He doesn't support violent Antifa, just as it could be safe to assume Ray doesn't support abortion clinic bombings with staff inside.  

 As with a number of issues discussed here only selected phrases, articles, data etc. are used and not posts in their entirety.  When "the media" does it it's Fake News, but if we do it that's all good.

So, what does "not gonna wake up" mean - a coma??  No, anyone with a functioning brain knows what he meant.  He's condoning some snowflake bubba who can't take it - killing someone.  Pathetic.

Much like the 97% of scientists on global warming repeated statistic, your numbers don't hold up. But keep thinking that anout the 60% and 90%.

The people I deal with are manufacturing plant managers, plant engineers, saftey managers and business owners. The common thread for my contacts is they all have responsibilities for a tremendous number of people and millions in equipment and revenue. To borrow a phrase from Rush Limbaugh, they all live in Realsville. Talking a good game gets you nothing. Produce or you're off to some other line of work.

None of these people are stupid enough to think it's legitimate a 17 Brett Kavanaugh ran parties all summers were girls were repeatedly raped. None of these people think a throwaway attemp at humor by Trump about Hilary's emails was a secret signal to the Russians to hack them. No one with a brain believes any warm, living body with a D by their name could beat Trump in 2020. That's just scratching the surface of the mind numbing stupidity I've read on here.

People who live in Realsville fully understand Trump's success and failures. The leftist on here are so infected with TDS, common sense has been drained out of them.

Like I said, some of you people on here (and our friend TT in particular) are  curiosities. I rarely run into in them in the real world. I see you on here, on TV and youtube clips, but not in the real world where I interact with actual living people. I suspect if you're out with the people like I deal with, you instinctively know your ignorance and stupidity would not be tolerated and rather than look like a fool, you shut up.

I like my young wolf/rabbit analogy. You're fun to play with as I try to figure out what the hell this little thing is.

Look Eegore, you work really hard at maintaining the appearance of objectivity and basing your stance on issues from nothing more than the facts from numbers and science. But the reality is we all make most of our decisions based on the accumulation of the emotions we've developed in our lives and we justify those decisions afterwards with selective facts.

 No.  What I meant to  convey is that a number of people I interact with, professionally, I do not interact with people in an exclusively social manner, have similar viewpoints as TT.  Similar meaning close to, shared or sharing of like-minded concepts but not identical, exact, verbatim or hive-mind.

 "But the reality is we all make most of our decisions based on the accumulation of the emotions we've developed in our lives and we justify those decisions afterwards with selective facts."

 I feel that is incorrect.  A tremendous amount of study regarding high-functioning sociopaths would indicate that not "all" humans are capable of utilizing emotion as the primary psychological tool for decision making.  I know a number of people capable of using facts to make a decision instead of searching for facts to enforce what they want them to be.

 "You're no different than anyone else."

 I do not claim to be, but I can say that it is not all that foreign of a concept where I come from to make decisions based off the circumstances of the known environment and not off the perceived environment within the human mind.  I can't imagine being upset, or happy about anything Trump would ever say, or anyone for that matter.  I've heard the concept called Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
