Dawg, I started telling everyone around me, and reaching across the interwebs to tell total strangers, that these folks were absolutely real fascists, and absolutely meant to do mass murders eventually precisely because I was afraid we'd get here.

I dunno how this story ends, but I do know that y'all shoulda listened to me 10 years ago because we coulda chased these fucks out of public life mostly bloodlessly.

The longer you wait, the higher the body count ends up being.

You are never going to remove all the fascists. You cannot actually kill the fascist ideology through reason and argument because it's not based on reason and argument as you would understand it.

What you CAN do, is make fascists so afraid that they stay in their basements having sekret Klan meetings and sharing letters in Soldier of Fortune magazine.

We have failed that part. And this is what happens when you let it take root in your society. You're still having dinner with nazis.

@AnarchoNinaWrites Yeah, this is what we're usually saying, like, please abandon loyal defense of all the fascists y'all like, please actually impose some negative social consequences on people for being fascists instead of having dinner with them and leaping to their defense anytime someone morally disapproves of them.

Not asking anyone to shoot their parents, just to tell them off and not let them see or speak to their grandkids again until they renounce and abandon their fascism.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I’m baffled by people who insist that it’s better to have the fascists out in the open.

If I’m talking to someone and they have fashy beliefs but I don’t know about it because they are too scared of being ostracized or kicked in the nuts to express or act on those fashy beliefs, that’s great! I can go through my life unbothered and unaffected by that person’s fashy beliefs.

@MisuseCase I'm 46 years old; I have clear living memories of a time when it was okay to advocate for beating up nazis and chasing them out of your communities.

The fact that I no LONGER live in that time, tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about why this society is heading for the cliff at high speed.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I disagree. fascism can be destroyed, you just have to use the right methods. fascism is the outcome of specific material conditions. the social framework that causes them to exist has to be dismantled. otherwise they fester in the darkness and make their way towards power when the going gets rough. we have failed because the methods of fear to suppress the fash don't work.

attack the fash and the conditions that produce them.
@mapachin @AnarchoNinaWrites 100 times this! Fascism is just a symptom of the larger ills of capitalism and state power, as it provides incentives and mechanisms to enact their oppressive beliefs. Remove those mechanisms and replace them with a more equitable system, and those beliefs become a lot less attractive. ✊❤️

@AnarchoNinaWrites It might not work like that. It's worth a try, but it has been tried before, and the results were not very successful.

the only so far proven way to rehabilitate fascists is to defeat them in a world war. The catch is, it involves a world war, with a lot of nasty and extremely unpleasant side effects, so most reasonable people would consider it only as the very last resort, for when everything else will have failed.

We really need to research better anti-fascism techniques.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I'm sorry, but at first and maybe later I started to think I was reading a fascist argument. Have you checked your inner attitude?

@juanfal Have you considered taking two steps back and fucking your own face?

Hold this block you absolute muppet.
