    We've been told for at least 8 years that our biggest concern should be nazis and the alt right.

    We're on a streak of the 15 hottest months in human history. Israel has turned Gaza into ruins and massacred its civilians. The supreme court took away a woman's right to not be pregnant and then they made homelessness illegal. Cops continued to grow the prison population without recourse.

    I only see "nazi" s*** online. Sometimes they hold a parade I guess. The rise of the German far right domestically sounds bad, but idk what will that look like in reality? Kanye is a dipshit, but not much came of his rhetoric. I'm supposed to be afraid of Milo and Nick Fuentes??

    You see a lot more of it online now. Even more than a couple years ago

    It's not like those people don't exist in real life

    There's a presidential candidate who they all support and are pushing for which could increase the danger and impact of their ideas

    I think it's valid to be concerned about it before it becomes a giant issue

    idk there's a lot of signs pointing to it becoming a way bigger problem and I don't see why people would wait to be concerned until it happens

  • Sep 2, 2024

    I think there is always an appetite for nazism, white supremacy etc. and there’s always people effectively laundering it whenever they see an opportunity

    a chief concern when put up against the almost year long genocide in Gaza and the complete support offered to it? Not really. But I think it isn’t nothing either

    I mean 2/3 of the things you listed are book examples of facism. Not worried though. This life is too short to give a f*** about things you really don't have control over. I'ma keep voting for things that are in somehow line with my values and take care of my family.

    Its not single people like Nick Fuentes you should be concerned by but how big of a general movement it is. It can come in different forms too like the zionist movement in Israel. Germany is voting fascist again.
    It always starts as a small problem until it suddenly isn't and they get in power and everyone starts wondering how it happened.

    Idk man, America has been a liberal hegemon forever and we kill and lock up more brown people than anyone else. Germany has been our EU accomplice.

    I dont doubt that this all happens. I'm saying that historically speaking, american fascists have put up the front of anti-nazism and used it to their advantage.

    this isnt even really uncommon. national fascisms are often at odds with one another since they're all ideologically incoherent and inherently exclusionary -- the debates and disagreements between Italian fascists and German nazis are well known and the Japanese militarist fascism of the 30s and 40s had very little ideologically in common with either of those and was, at least in rhetoric, against "western imperialism" and "white supremacy". today you have great russian chauvanism competing with ukrainian nazism. fascism is entirely normalized in a large part of the world due to the necessities of the imperialist world system and is much bigger than what the Nazis specifically believed in.

    If by nazism you mean a certain group of people having total impunity while lynching Muslims in the street yea a little bit

  • Sep 2, 2024

    I think nazism and fascism as labels are tied very strongly to the early 20th century and can be outdated as labels sometimes, even though there are fringe movements that directly label themselves as such and a lot of politics today overlap with those qualities/'values' they espoused.

    But I do believe the more establishment politicians that are heavily anti-immigrant, anti-socialist, pro-police state, and so on (add more of the tenets of historical fascism whatever still is here to this day) do overlap with those far right ideologies more than people notice

    The establishment doesn't necessarily want a revolution of the system (which nazism and fasc wanted to switch s*** up completely in ideology at first, but later realized bringing in more of the wider right wing would help their movements)

    Crying "fascist/nazi" all the time takes away from the recognition of power and damage of neoliberalism in itself which isn't a fringe ideology but rather a prevailing one in the world already
