Augie Ray“Are you a communist?”
“No, I am an anti-fascist”
“For a long time?”
“Since I have understood fascism.”
– Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
OdicforceSounds@augieray Understanding fascism can create a rejection, but the same probability is that it creates attraction, like "Everything" we know can be after you understand. Therefor, promoting fascism even if is to deny it, it is promoting, the probability of attraction or rejection is 50% into the infinite of probabilities, that are single humans. Is difficult to understand what we feel, even more how others will feel. Nice Metallica track! :)
CrazyDogLadySezPEACE@TaoExpression @augieray lol how high are you?
Do you have a source for your 50% probability to go fascist or anti fascist claim? Or do you not understand probability?
@Heartofcoyote @augieray ... Fascism in Germany is over. Then why thee are some fascists outside Germany? I don't know, but many of them are not German. Christianity Happen far away from our lands and the majority is Christian.. Why is that? Percentages is a "way" to say, but yeah, my probabilistic skills are bad, but reality show some results that are numbers too.
iwein@TaoExpression
hihi. If there are two options (quod non) it doesn't follow that both are equally likely. Read back what you wrote when sobered up and have a good laugh with us new friend 😁
@iwein @Heartofcoyote @augieray I don't see the subject as something funny, but yeah I can laugh about it. Some guy in America have this "duty", where his objective is to remove swastika cross from walls, since he believe (like I do) that young people can start entering this world, without knowing the meaning of that cross, and when they finally know, they are already part of groups doing some violent activity.. Is the Islamic Rational problem for symbols. Without knowing we fall in love with..
@iwein @Heartofcoyote @augieray Is the Ignorance Probglem.. if you check, most young people that are inside this groups are ignorant and most of them, victim of some violence.
@iwein @Heartofcoyote @augieray here some experience I had some years ago: https://blog.odicforcesounds.com/FascismEducation.html
@Heartofcoyote @augieray maybe the condition of "remembering" was the "logic condition" that make the majority Christian (far away from that event that happen 20 centuries ago)
obscurestar@Heartofcoyote @TaoExpression @augieray Fascism appeals to the bottom of the bell curve. Lots of dogs in search of a master because they're happy with scraps, barking at strangers and being told to attack anyone daddy doesn't like.
It's taken me many decades to accept this truth. I kept expecting my origin family to figure it out and get over their hatred but oppression is a comfort to them. God's lot for them. Questioning it is tantamont to an attack on their religion. They are lost.
Eric Goodwin@augieray read that in high school… sure didn’t sink in
vepř jako pepř@augieray hopefully he still understands problems of wage slavery
Ravi Dwivedi@augieray That gives me motivation to read that book, which was otherwise kept somewhere in my home and forgotten.
xs4me2@augieray We need a broader term.
Any anti-fascist who is not a Communist would not want to live under the bureaucratic nightmare that Communism becomes. So why he might admire egalitarianism in principle, he doesn't want to live in the USSR or anyplace similar.
Maybe anti-authoritarianism or anti-totalitarianism?
Big-C Communism and Fascism both promise a utopia for some by eliminating those that don't fit.
