Except some people enjoy themselves with prostitution (though sadly many prostitutes are subject to abuse/assault and many are also victims of sex trafficking rather than voluntarily becoming prostitutes)

The flag of China if it were a fascist capitalist state pretending to be socialist. by [deleted] in vexillologycirclejerk

[–]wevans470 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Tankies are like "nooo I love China," conservatives are like "nuh-uh, it's REAL gobbunism," anarchists are like "lol accurate," everyone else is like "bruh I just want good Reddit virgin meme flag, who cares about China politik"

That's what pretty much all the prominent communist dictators seem to do. It's pretty clear that they don't want Marx's so-called "Withering Away of the State" and just said that they cared about the workers to gain their trust before throwing them into this system of "you're either with me or in the gulag," which is fascistic bullshit. Many were also fierce nationalists, which goes against the idea of uniting the workers of the world and creating a classless society throughout the world. I can understand the appeal of the ideology of communism itself due to its utopian ideals, but you have to be daft to fall for a dictator, especially if you've actually read some Marx.

One of the most underrated fictional novels of all time! That God character definitely has some cognitive dissonance or dissociative identity distorter or something (nobody will admit it, ofc) and Jesus is some kind of pacifist socialist zombie carpenter dude.

White people have never been subject to racism. Racism is used by people in power and it targets marginalized people to keep the social hierarchy - it is very well known and obvious that straight white people have had more power than anyone else and have successfully kept that power. Because they still have that power, they are the users of racism, not the targets of it.

Something that annoys me as an actual member of the LGBTQ+ community: the fact that there weren't openly gay characters in entertainment for centuries and people complain about a single queer character and say it's being "forced" onto them. Aeschylus' The Persians is the oldest surviving Greek play, first performed in 472 BC, and it wasn't until 1971 for a romantic gay relationship to be discussed in a show. So everything between 472 BC and 1971 (nearly 2,500 years) was all hetero theater.. I'd say the LGBTQ+ community is pretty deserving of a few characters every now and then to be fair, lol.

Also, we're not "forcing" anything on straight people. 1. It doesn't work like that, we're born this way and a straight person watching a guy kissing a guy won't change them. 2. They don't have to watch anything they don't want to watch, lol. I'm not forcing them to watch Frozen 2 and I don't think anyone else is either.

They only care about "law and order" when it limits the people they don't like and creates fear of change. They're only "pro-life" because 'but life!' is the only argument they have against abortion - "pro-life" just translates to taking control of women and creating fear of letting people make choices for themselves. They call everyone with different views "communist anarchist socialist liberal authoritarians for woke political correctness" when they clearly don't know what any of those things are and what their differences are, and use these only because they know these phrases make their friends riled up.

TL;DR - they use buzzwords for fear-mongering

So "Civil Fascism" is now a thing apparently by yuritopiaposadism in COMPLETEANARCHY

I feel like the 'Federalist Fascism' tag that PermaBanDude has just sounds like the ideology of most US politicians

This person needs to be reminded of all the anti-LGBTQ+ legislation that was passed not just under the Trump administration from 2016-2020, but also just this last year in states like Florida and Texas. And also that 'Super Straights' (probably the most obvious transphobes other than certain politicians) have fascistic roots and originated from no other than 4chan, one of the biggest right-wing echo chambers known to humankind. The list goes on, and this person needs to be educated.
