The fact that far too many people cannot recognize fascism unless it looks exactly like Nazi Germany is very dangerous.
Sparxx
Laure@Strandjunker like if we slip bit by bit into it, it’s not happening at all. Citizen idjits.

Dave MacFarlane@Strandjunker most people could probably recognize it if it looked like Mussolini's Italy too. Probably.
Oh, who am I kidding.

StephaneHuart@Strandjunker TBH, at this point,I have the feeling that a lot of people would not recognize facism EVEN if it looked like nazi germany... :/
Doug Warren@Strandjunker Also dangerous is their apparent inability to recognize fascism when it DOES look exactly like Nazi Germany.

Completely agree, the march to #fascism started with #Reagan or before, but really accelerated under Dubya.

@Strandjunker They've just practiced some good old-fashioned rationalization of their beliefs, or as I prefer to think of it, as delusional.
Justin Fitzsimmons@Strandjunker and still disingenuously deny it even when it does look exactly like Nazi Germany 😒
@Strandjunker Whew! Glad that doesn't apply to me! I know that fascism only applies to Musolini's Italy!
Daniel Reeders@Strandjunker The fact that nobody can recognise fascism when it looks *exactly* like Nazi Germany is keeping me awake at nights.
Robert M@Strandjunker Like people in the MSM?
Don Weaver@Strandjunker nor seem to care even when it looks almost exactly like Nazi Germany.
@Strandjunker
If it doesn't come from the Fasci region of Italy, it's actually just sparkling authoritarianism.

@Strandjunker It looks pretty close to the start of Nazi Germany. Some of these people should have clued in by now (glaring at you, Florida Republicans).

slaveofmusic@Strandjunker agreed. What’s even more perplexing is how literal self declared Nazi’s will March along side these folks with the flags and banners and they still don’t recognize it. Supposedly. 😵💫
Fardels BearThis is why Hitler purged the Brownshirts in 1934. They were radical revolutionaries at a time when he wanted to project an image of a respectable Germany, to keep big business on side.

Gsmithy@Strandjunker there is a specific definition of fascism.
For example in the UK, many on the left are crying "fascists". It is as inaccurate as it is unhelpful. Popularist, racist rhetoric is not fascism
Pēteris Krišjānis@Strandjunker because it was underlined that only they were facism. Underlining same problems and indications elsewhere were quite dangerous for those in power in West and Soviet Russia.
@Strandjunker this is why you won't hear any mainstream politcian tauting universal human rights, because that leaves too many uncomfortable questions on table.

@Strandjunker Seeing fascism everywhere is equally dangerous ('Boy Who Cried "Wolf!"').
