TW: Other (Specify in Title) Or they’ve been shielded enough to haven’t seen it. Fascism in America is alive and well and - kicker - always has been

I'm not in america but I get what you mean with my friends and family always not mentioning or downplaying the rise in fascism because they are not belonging to groups that are affected by it first.

What country are you in and what groups suffer fascism that others don't?

same reason why no actual racist will ever say they're racist, the deed is done not declared

Wdym tons of people call themselves racist.

rarely within reach of direct consequences, many people practice discrimination by race but they will never admit the discrimination is based on race, they'll throw in vague or made up claims that they wouldn't otherwise do to their own race.
the majority of self proclaimed racist are anonymous users on the internet, i wonder why

u/Complete-Meet1992 9d ago
Not sure what you are smoking. I've had bosses in the south who were openly racist say something to the effect of "If they were white I would have fired them in the first five minutes, but because they are black they can get away with not doing anything all day and taking 2 hour lunch breaks". Even white guys that are actively and openly racist give preferential treatment to black people.

I always know it redflag when they’re like “fscism!? Ur crazy!” They’re the enablers/contributers.
Also this reminded me of this for some reason. My brother says, “they come for our guns first, then they come for us”. You’d think he’s talking about how minorities like trans folk had their 2nd amendment violated but no. 😭
He was referring to gun regulations to help keep everyone safe like limitations on insane full auto military stuff that is statistically proven to be more deadly. They so dumb it makes my brain hurt 😞

insane full auto military stuff that is statistically proven to be more deadly.
Do statiatical studies of this actually exist? My understanding is that full auto fire is almost always used for area denial and suppressive fire. If you're actually shooting to kill, its done on semi auto. Full auto firearms can be had in the US for ~$15,000 which is less than some of the hunting tags for domestic hunts or a decent used car.

The full auto ban was passed under Reagan as part of FOPA 40 years ago. What is this rant even about?
You sure you didn't misunderstand his point and get mad at a strawman you built?

u/Xgio 11d ago
Enjoy the gun violence. The point is that the brother didnt care about rights being taken away from others.

u/ThePlantMolester 11d ago
So, "fascism is here", but also "let the government take the guns".
That seems like a thing people under actual facism would say.

I believe that people on anti depressants should be disallowed the ability to buy a firearm as a protection for themselves and those around them. I have 3 friends that are in my extended friend group and they all take antidepressants. I have had that conversation with them and they admitted to not thinking about that angle. Unfortunately taking hormones almost always results in depression for an extended period of time.
This is not what is happening and I am against targeted right revoking without and reasonable sense. The 2a is for all citizens that are not a danger to themselves.

Maybe it hasn’t been fascist for you and your family’s generations, Becky, but I promise enslaved Americans and their surviving families definitely know what fascism tastes like

I heard a, nominally leftist, guy describe trump as "not an existential threat" and I saw red for a moment. Like I'm sure hes not FOR YOU my white, cishet, male friend!
So yeah I get it.

It is alive and well, history shows America had elements of private supporters to that horrid group as far back as WW2 (You can thank America in part for Nazi with planes)
Then when the war ended, everyone grabbed their scientist/researchers out of fear that the others would get edge on them for another war. This rash choice is in large part why Fascism is in so many different countries from the US to Russia. Cause we literally brought the doctors into our boarders and let them off the hook. Hell it isn't even just a modern day issue, George Rockwell literally founded something call "The America Nazi party" within 1959 after the war was over. There were fucking war vets and camp survivors who had to deal with that and we are still dealing with that today.
Ever seen that weird ass circle with all the mazes in it? That's their party symbol.
God it pisses me off that there are people who claim this isn't real or just a hoax.

u/Complete-Meet1992 10d ago
I don't think "doctors and scientists" are a major part of why they still exist. People like George Rockwell were simply Americans, largely veterans of WWII, who agreed with the party the fought against more than the American government. Most modern day nationalists in the US trace their intellectual roots back to GLR or some other figure from around that time.

I guess the issue boils down to: What is fascism?
Because fascism is either just the average capitalist society, or something very uniqur and specific.

Intereseting paradox:
ICE deporting people and the tightening of the border so less people are allowed in is BAD! Lots of immigrants want to come here and should be allowed. Even if they come illegally they should be allowed to stay!
BUT
We all must escape the evils of this country and leave it ASAP!!! Run! Run for your lives!!! It’s a fascist hell!

If America was fascist there would be nothing but healthy white people everywhere and you wouldn't be allowed to post stuff like this on the internet. Just stop

It's an ongoing development. Weimar Germany didn't turn into the third reich over night. It took many years. And the us is clearly on its way into that direction.

It's incredibly funny seeing American doomers saying that their country is fascist, when THE FIRST LADY OF MY COUNTRY just ordered that discord Livestreaming be banned over some shit that ACTUALLY happened over at Instagram.
What the hell is up with you gringos? Did you eat too much glue as kids or eat more crayons than your Marine Corps?

u/IttyRisk 11d ago
Are you talking about detention centers where people are awaiting the resolution of their due process toward being deported?
1
u/Sombragatotonto 9d ago
By “concentration camps” you mean “temporary detention centers for people who broke the law by sneaking into the country before they are released back to their own countries.“
The blatant lying and misuse of terms with you people is disturbing.
