I am the news dude. I do the news megathreads.
I subscribe to the geopolitical inversion of Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.”
- Comment on Dethroning lemmy.ml, lemm.ee rises as the second most active instance 10 months ago:
liberals have universally allied with fascists over communists. the liberals in the Weimer Republic put Hitler in power, to give but one example. Churchill admired Hitler.
Both liberals and fascists agree that capitalism is the bee’s knees, they agree that most things should be privatized, they agree that people must be exploited by an elite. There’s a common saying - “If you scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds,” meaning that the second you exert even the slightest violence towards liberals or threaten to do so, they suddenly turn into fascist monsters, seemingly out of nowhere! Macron in France is a good current-day example - the riots have prompted him to turn France into ever more of a police state in which the pigs have unbelievable powers and surveillance. When America has been provoked by actions (many of which didn’t even actually happen, e.g. the Gulf of Tonkin, the Nayirah testimony, etc (or those that did happen but didn’t need to provoke an entire invasion in response, like 9/11) they start wars that kill hundreds of thousands, even millions.
It’s actually hard to describe exactly where liberals and fascists have opposing beliefs. I suppose where they differ is whether the cruelty should be more obscured or more out in the open?
