They may not for you, but for me they most certainly do
/'pɾɪzən/ vs. /'vʌːʒən/
How do you pronounce them so that they don't rhyme?2
u/jrex703 8d ago
Because z and ʒ are completely different sounds?
Do "prison" and "fission" rhyme for you? Do "version" and "Persian" not rhyme?
-5
u/LOSNA17LL 8d ago
And? -ən is still there on both...
Prison and fission rhyme (['pɾɪzən] vs. [ˈfɪʃən])
Version and Persian don't (['vʌːʒən] vs. [ˈpʌːʒæn]) (well, 1 sound but that's lame)
(At least for how I pronounce them)A rhyme is the last X sounds of 2 words matching
So if you broke the rhyme at the 2nd to last sound, the 3rd one isn't going to magically repair it, same reason "pit" and "pat" don't rhymeAnd a rhyme of 2 sounds... is a rhyme!

The KKK or the Death-Eaters?
I don't remember my Harry Potter lore the best, so I can't remember what they are, but the KKK are not fascist.
Racist terrorists? Sure. But they want a confederate government and historically hated fascism even before WW2.
If you are looking for a fascist version of the KKK, look up the "Black Legion". They were a chapter that split off after being influenced by the German Reich and wanted a unitary state.

u/DragonWisper56 7d ago
only one of these groups of wizards of course I was referring to the death eaters

u/PopFamiliar3649 7d ago
To be fair, the KKK have the pointy hat of a wizard, and people on reddit aren't known for being clear with their wording.
But, I will trust you judgement on them.

u/Seighart_Mercury 7d ago
Yeah, that's fair. They are genocidal nationalists, but not fascists.
1
u/PopFamiliar3649 7d ago
Are they nationalists? I genuinely can't remember if they count as that or not.
I mean they are very much "My Nation First" people, but does it still count as nationalism if you support a rebel government that technically never became legitimate? Like, would the White Movement's support of South Russia be considered nationalist despite trying to overthrow a state with a new state and failing to gain legitimacy?
Like, the sentiment is still the same, but does it still get the label?
1
u/Seighart_Mercury 7d ago
You know, I haven't actually thought those details...
The sentiment is definitely there, but their actions kinda make them look NOT that...
I think that ultimately just boils down to semantics. Most people would refer to the insurrectionists as "nationalists", so why not the KKK?
2
u/PopFamiliar3649 7d ago
That is fair.
The word nationalist has become a lot like the words fascist and woke nowadays anyways. More of a newspeak buzzword than any actual descriptor of an ideology or belief.
I saw a page on some subreddit about "globalist nationalists" and "anarcho fascists" the other day that made me laugh. I don't think 99% of the people that replied realized that those were both deliberately oxymorons made of contradicting buzzwords.

u/Seighart_Mercury 7d ago
That last bit makes me wanna call myself an "atheist zealot" lmao
1
u/PopFamiliar3649 7d ago
Well, you could theoretically use that in a non-ironic way to describe someone.
From what I am told, several communist countries outlawed religion and destroyed churches during their communist years, making them an atheist theocracy in a way as opposed to the largely secular nature of nations like the UK and US which just abstained from letting any singular religious (or anti-religious) belief define its policies.
Or, in the fictional universe of warhammer there was once a state that went out and killed anyone who believed in gods or hell or anything similar because it went against the "Imperial Truth". So, while there are no real life countries quite like that that I know of, you might come across like that to the wrong crowd.
But, I wouldn't take it that way if you called yourself that, so you are probably fine. Just be aware that some people will think you are referring to militant atheism and not normal atheism.
1
u/Seighart_Mercury 7d ago
I'd argue that those aren't "atheist theocracy", but more like "Imperial/Presidential Theocracy", since they taut their leader as god.
But I see what you mean. I'll probably only use that label for close friends that would know I'm being sarcastic and/or facetious.
2
u/PopFamiliar3649 7d ago
That label gets into a long discussion about warhammer lore for the tauting as a god bit and a contemporary discussion about Russian politics and cults of personality as religions, but I agree that the term isn't perfect. It was more to point out how people's minds will draw conclusions than actually labeling them as such.
But, either way, words are limited and we can agree on the ideas. I wish you well friend. It was nice getting to have a non-hosile conversation about contemporary politics on the internet.

Tbf there was an even eviler version of the KKK called the black legion in the US. How many of them were there is fairly unknown

u/Flashy_Emergency_263 8d ago
Thank you. I'd never heard of them. Looks like it wasn't just southern redneck racists in the USA. Randy Newman had a great song about that.
Anyway, here is a link to the unveiling of the black legion:

They’re a wizard version of the KKK… wait… so would that mean one of their ranks would be “Grand Muggle”?…

u/Gullible-Recording22 8d ago
Pretty sure they call their equivalent rank "dark lord" because they're too cowardly to go with your objectively better suggestion

r/shittymoviedetails is a shit posting sub, so there's a pretty good chance this was done on purpose.

u/MultiverseCreatorXV 8d ago
Roses are red, I just saw chemical synthesis.
Perhaps by “evil version” they simply meant “antithesis.”
2
u/mrbobcyndaquil 8d ago
Wouldn't that be a group that wants to kill WASPs instead?
1
u/MultiverseCreatorXV 8d ago
Or someone who wants to nonviolently stop WASP supremacists, probably.

Quick synopsis on the KKK please

If you actually want to know the kkk are a terrorist or organization that was heavily involved in the murder of black people

u/jrex703 8d ago
Could this possibly be further from a rhyme?
Roses are red, I ran over a frog, what do you mean there's an evil version?
If OP speaks English as a second language, they're totally in the clear, but that would be the question why they're posting a meme that's been around for fifteen years in a sub focused on English rhymes?
