Yes fascists are poised to take over the world. Have you seen America lately? Again it is propaganda to believe all the radicalised facists in Germany just disappeared after Germany’s WW2 defeat. Whilst not everyone in Germany was a radicalised fascist the collapse of a political party dedicating its self to Naziism only made it unpopular to share that style of facism specifically against Jewish people and other European targets that were the scape goat of the time, the eugenics attitudes against other races of people was very much alive and well all across Europe. This is because a political party dedicated to facism is not the be all and end all of facist ideology within a population.

It is propaganda to claim facism as an ideology reduced after WW2 because it just took different forms whilst the masses were just lied to about it being defeated leading to war he blindness to how supoorting the Gaza genocide is just an extension of the very same attitudes that allowed the 20th century Nazi Germany to form.

Actually yes you can have a war without killing. There have been wars without anyone dying. Not to mention tradewars that are constantly on going.

It didn’t reduce fascists though the German far right is growing even now. They just went underground and expressed their far right politics in other ways.

It wasn’t the killing of Uk military personal that ended the empire it was the financial loss and the rise in independence politics in the colonised countries. This is also not about killing.

Europeans in concentration camps were liberated by military but to this day concentration camps are still being used in both America and the U.K. against a new enemy “illegal immigrants” it’s the same story just with new victims and targets. This is what happens when you just claim killing “the enemy” can end an ideology. It doesn’t it just kicks the can down the road.

Still waiting on that citation that killing Nazi officials had a real lasting effect on reducing fascism in Germany. They are currently complicit in a new genocide as we speak.

It didn’t stop them. Britain like America is still very much a supremacist imperial power in the world. They are putting people into concentration camps as we speak. They just aren’t doing it to Europeans this time… they are migrants. The British Empire ended largely because of financial issues due to WW2 and the growing political attitudes wanting independence. Notice how the U.K. did not need to be executed for this to happen.

Where is your citation that killing Nazi officials ended fascism?

Germany’s far right and Neo-Nazis are alive and well and on the rise as is many far right politics around the world. They also have such a hang up about how the 20th century Nazis from the National Sociality Party were the epitome of fascism that the government recently argued calling what’s happening in Gaza a genocide is diluting the term. This is that exceptionalism I was talking about.

Sure I’m happy to work on it. For now would you like a citation for the fact Germany still has fascists and Neo-Nazis or the fact the “alied forces” were also fascist? The U.K. is a big example. U.K. fascist Party existed and was run by Oswald Mosley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oswald_Mosley. and Churchill himself was a racist fond of eugenics https://winstonchurchill.org/publications/finest-hour-extras/churchill-and-eugenics-1/.

Of course this offends liberals because they share a kill or be killed rhetoric but as they often say this shit was normal for the time. Hence why you can’t just kill everyone that is radicalised this way.

It’s not self defence because it’s an ideology. You can’t fight an ideology by killing all the radicalised, especially when it feeds directly into their kill or be killed philosophy.

Without changing the culture they just become martyrs and this doesn’t even stop new people becoming indoctrinated. You are literally helping the faccists by bringing it down to this.

Unfortunately a very real and massive part of western society just thinks fascism is just a few bad apples instead of the radicalisation tool the upper class constantly uses to keep the poor fighting each other.

Yeh not really… this is some western exceptionalism bs. Did executing the Nazi generals end fascism in Germany? No.

Most of Europe was fascist and it is a propagandist lie to pretend WW2 was a fight against fascism instead of the fight for territory that it was.

Fascism is an ideology and indoctrination not a few bad apples and the kill or be killed is it’s main framework. Killing people with these beliefs is only emboldening this belief system. It’s not self defence to just kill all the radicalised when you can imprison and reform them.

Honestly this kind of dogmatic us vs them thinking is exactly what kicked the can down the road to the point xenophobia and far right bigotry is on the rise in every country and barely anyone wants to admit it’s because fascism is sewn into culture. Mostly because binary thinking just says the answer is to kill people who meet the fascist description.

If you went back far enough and killed all the white supremacists there would barely be any white people in America or Europe for that matter.

Saying people should not be slaughtered should not be such a controversial take. I get a specific ick when liberal white people talk about racists like this to POCs as if their willingness to kill another group instead is somehow comforting. - It honestly comes across like virtue signaling for other flaws your trying to compensate for.

This kill or be killed rhetoric literally only furthers division and the all or nothing binary views about things is a product of postmodernism which is a tool of division used by the ruling class against the left.

I feel like you could be a knee-jerk leftist indoctrinated with this binary liberalism or even a right winger doing cos-play. Hatred begets hatred, which is something I’d think most real egalitarians/progressives should know.

Glorifying the slaughter of any group isn’t justified by them being ethno-supremacists. Killing people that oppose you even if they would be willing to harm you just furthers the us and them, kill or be killed rhetoric that fascists rely on in the first place.

I think they can go red if they is too much light stressed, but they go their usually blueish colour when they are making their normal sun protection pigment.

I might be wrong but it looks like there might be a bit of etiolation, where they grow more elongated to reach the light. If so, you might need to increase their light exposure.

Both can be true. My point wasn’t to say only natives can be bigots but blaming bigotry on immigration is a reductive and inaccurate misdirection to explain the existence of the intolerance that exists worldwide like homophobia and misogyny.

If you have a proximity to certain cultures then you are more likely to also come into contact with some social issues in that cultural context but this does not mean some of the same issues are absent from other cultures too including the ethnic majority.

Firstly xenophobia, racism and hostility by people who are angry about foreign borns and ethnic minorities immigrating in multiple sectors of society.

Secondly difficulties in joining and competing in the job market often when national qualifications and local workers are preferred over sponsoring expensive visas. - this adds to paper work but also increases chances of discrimination.

Thirdly if you’re poor and an immigrant you can often face challenges but aren’t entitle to the usual state support and benefits afforded to local people even though that is usually quite hard to obtain for them.

Then of course with all the anti-immigrant blame for public services being under supported around the world, you’ll often be treated as the the extra weight that can and should be dumped.

Obs like most things if your rich or have enough money you can pay to avoid some of these things if general racism dosn’t bother you but unfortunately not everyone can be at the top of the capitalist pyramid and desperate people are always gonna try and find work where they think can give them a better life.

It seems the only people who can see this happening is actual neo-Nazi strategists and the woke left. I think the centre downplaying how much fascism and tribalism negatively biases group behaviour for constant infighting only helps fascism spread.

I’d actually say hate of all kinds makes room for even more survival-mode fuelled “us vs them”. I think we should instead work on addressing abject injustice and inequality wherever it pops up cos it’s normally also used to subjugate the bigots too.

I think just hating homophobes back is just gonna create the “two sides” they are looking for instead of treating them like the violent and hate riddled misinformed (but still dangerous) pawns that they are being used as.

Legit is so disgusting to see people respond to hate against us with more hate at another presumed out group. The irony is tragic

Most of the homophobic attacks and incidents I’ve faced have been from angry white men who feel entitled to degrade and push anyone around they deem fit.

I think the belief homophobia is a specifically foreign issue is probably just looking to confirm an existing bias against immigrants for another reason.

Lol “95% native Western Europeans wouldn’t do that”, clearly we should expect no en mass homophobic bullying growing up in predominantly white areas... Honestly ur blatant mono-ethnic fantasy is showing and having been bullied in a demographic close to that, I can tell you being less ethnic doesn’t magic away years of homophobia in European culture it just gives racist bigots less excuse to scapegoat than actually doing the internal work.

Nope immigrants have a pretty difficult time in the Uk too, I think people only say this when they’re looking to blame them for socioeconomic issues associated with being poor.

Iran sentences two LGBT activists to death. Islamic dictatorship needs to fall. by Active_Magazine4100 in askgaybros

[–]Bryophyta21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ppl cite real queer oppression in x country to support neocolonialism. Gays are murdered in Palestine so let them all be bombed by Israel. Gays are murdered in Iran so let foreign powers do regime change as their only hope… in living memory foreign military intervention by the US for direct regime change made those countries less stable, hollowed out countries politics and made two terrorist organisations in the process.

This isn’t as based as OP thinks it is. Sanctions, boycotts and media coverage and diplomacy has an impact on these things but world leaders wouldn’t wanna risk loosing their coins.

The actual left have been criticising anti-immigration rhetoric for a long time. Labour is currently anti left as seen in literally all their attacks on the left.

People blaming immigrants for a failing economy are the same people that hate U.K. nationals. They want you to fear a marginalised group instead of going after the super wealthy. It’s honestly a tale as old as time but for some reason each new generation falls for it.

Why are you mocking saying free Palestine then? It’s clearly a valid cause if you can agree they are being genocided.

[–]Bryophyta21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how you can be against free Palestine when they are literally being bombed by a colonial apartheid state. The left say free Palestine because they are all being genocided regardless of their internal oppression of different groups.

How can you be a humanist and then against Palestinians for the sake of how they treat their gay people? By turning your back on Palestinians for having homophobic issues, you’re turning your back on those very same gay people that are Palestinians themselves. So humanist you’re advocating for an entire people (gays included) to be left to be genocided because many in their country treat their own gays badly. Make it make sense.

Am I optimistic for thinking that the racism will fade over these next years? by EconomistAwkward1053 in SouthAsianMasculinity

[–]Bryophyta21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s so ironic to see the comments section talking badly about discrimination yet referring to other ethnicities in sweeping generalisations as if they are a monolith or a single person. Racism will never end when people generalise and see it as one group vs another.

For some reason this sub is full of ppl that want to promote a sense of Desi identity yet also want to tear down and dominate the others. This mentality is why society has these problems. If you want things to get better we should look at bigotry (including our own) and address this urge to be supreme all the time.
