𝐿𝒢𝓃𝒢 "not yet begun to fight"Jan 26

Please don't think that you can stop a Nazi by pointing out hypocrisy or by pointing out that they are lying.

They know. It is a feature, not a bug.

When a fascist lies to you, they are displaying power. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. What the fuck are you going to do about it."

When a fascist lies to other fascists, they are displaying loyalty. "I know I am lying. You know I am lying. We do this because it is how we show allegiance to the cause."

In this way, fascism is inherently an empty ideology. It stands for nothing. It believes in nothing. It can therefore lie about everything.

Except one thing: power.

Fascism MUST lie. It MUST deceive. It MUST play to baser beliefs like racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia, because it has literally nothing of value to offer.

They know this. We know this. That is why they lie.

For people who need an analogy:

If politics were sport, fascists are blatant and unashamed cheaters and game fixers.

"you cheated" doesn't fucking work, because the answer is "no I didn't, and even if I did - so what? I won."

And they're busy rigging the next game so you can't win, even if you're a better team.
The answer to blatant cheating and game fixing is to ban them from the game.
They don't get to play.
Ever.
If they try to get onto the field, you forcibly remove them because they fuck the game for everyone.
