Magneto was right

You don’t seem to understand. Fascists don’t care how awfully you depict them or what things you show them doing as long as *they look cool doing it*. Fascism is an aesthetic based ideology. Whether it be the Christan fascist who adores the aesthetic of crusader knights and religious pomp or the Pagan fascist who longs for some pure Aryan religion like hellenism or Nordic Paganism or Technocrat fascists like Musk who think themselves new age gods who will guide humanity to the stars.

 The common line is that fascism is built around wanting an imaginary world that never has or never will exist without suffering or anything the fascist doesn’t like. This of course requires a scapegoat or cause for all the world’s evil, someone to pin all that is wrong with society on. This can be black people, trans and gay peoplem Immigrants or Jewish people. There’s always someone ruining society.

Fascism is illogical because it is a rejection of the real world for some imaginary glorious past/future that never has or will exist. Fascism is escapism

There’s a movie called *Skokie* about the Nazi group that took their case to SCOTUS and won the right to march in Skokie, Illinois in 1977. (The Blues Brothers’ Illinois Nazis were based on that real event.)

The Nazis had chosen Skokie because it had a large Jewish community, including many Holocaust survivors.

There’s a scene where a representative of the Anti-Defamation League is speaking at a Synagogue, saying that the best tactic is to ‘quarantine’ the Nazis. Ignore them, don’t attack them and give them the national attention they desire.

An old man (played by Danny Kaye) stands up and says, *that’s exactly the sort of bullshit they told us before the War, they’re a joke, petty thugs, pull down your blinds and they’ll soon be gone*.

He shows his arm tattoo and says *on my mother’s grave, a shallow limepit filled with 50 other naked, starved bodies at Mauthausen, on that grave, I swear that if they bring the Swastika here I will fight them with anything I can find, a gun, a baseball bat, my bare hands if need be.*

There’s a whole thing about how of you have a bar and you let some Nazis in and they know you’re cool with them, they’ll tell their friends and eventually you’ll have a Nazi Bar on your hands. America has become that bar to the point that people can go and openly be Nazi. And you get assholes that defend it.

“Oh the swastika is going the opposite way so it’s the Buddhist manju and not a swastika” is a thing I heard 2016 by a fucking guy in Staten Island University because they drew a few in the facilities area to upset ppl. Like mate that’s a swastika.

“We shouldn’t punch Nazis because it sets a bad example” is something said by people that are alright with goose steppers coming in and trying to make another Reich.

Even the fucking heart goes out to you is a thing that ppl say but will never do in regular company only when they’re surrounded by other fascists because they know it’s a fucking salute.

Magneto had it dialed in. Charles while well intentioned kept trying to meet people in the middle. Problem was (is?) that they keep moving backwards pulling the middle towards them

The hate machine will always have an out group even if their fantasies came true, and they eradicated all of us, then cleansed other minority groups. They’d just start consuming their own because they need something to point a finger to. Right now, your country is a pivotal stage you need a shit load of people to lock in and march, the cub was coddled for too long and has turned into a bear.

There has absolutely been a good guy Nazi and his name was Oskar Schindler.

I want to be unambiguous here: Oskar Schindler _was_ a Nazi. He was a member of the Nazi party, he spied on Czechoslovakia and Poland for the Nazis.

And then he realised what the Nazis were. And he gave up almost everything to fight them. The movie was not exaggerating. He was willing to give up every last penny he owned to save lives.

Remember Schindler, and let _that_ be the bar for fascists to redeem themselves and be considered great men again.

Part of the problem is America never did anything to denazify itself, and if anything, they brought nazis over to help the government work on projects. Specifically ones relating to fighting communist Russia, since that was the “biggest threat ” at the time. During WW2 there were protests to JOIN THE AXIS. There is a universe in which we did. 

Our free speech laws are WAY too lenient on this shit and have been allowing for nazism/white supremacy (which is a whole other can of worms)/facism to grow far more than any rational country would. 

Liberalism is also to blame for this. People like Biden and Pelosi have been nowhere near as harsh on calling the horrible things out the republicans have done, didnt do enough to gain public favor (i.e allowed for democratc spoilers and other bullshit to ruin congressional power) for DECADES and have been moving to the right for just as long.

We need progressive action, but the problem is the times when democrats actually speak up is when there’s any sort of denunciation of the status quo. They see it as an attack on democracy and call it such, rather than what it is. Politics based on the needs of people rather than capital interest.

I read a few years ago while researching homeschooling about a couple in the US that had started a homeschooling curriculum that was pro Hitler. Thousands of parents were purchasing their crap.

White conservatives are media illiterate. These people think that a character like Homelander is the good guy. These people claim to worship Jesus but in reality they worship hatred and cruelty. No wonder these people produce mass shootings and college campus rapists and economic destruction

The fact that this country has made Nazis comfortable enough to walk around showing their true colors… burn this shit down man

I truly believe the “safe environment” of being an online jackass really does spill into real life. Those people will say all sorts of fucked up shit online, and eventually forget saying those same things out in the wild is going to get them popped in the mouth or worse. With Trump emboldening those fools, they simply expose themselves in mass, making it much easier for us to ID them, and deal with them appropriately.

It’s just a false sense of security, because violence has not been applied rigorously to their foreheads.

Ngl lie , If I was a mutant. Magneto nor apocalypse would have to ask me because I would be begging them. My kill streak would be god tier . I would be employee of the month every month if I was one of the 4 horsemen. He better than me,bc aint no way I would hot wheels down play my suffering that endured my entire life .
