In the belly of the beast, doing my best to give it indigestion.
Jacksonian democracy and Manifest Destiny were 19th century fascism.

Colonizing Hawaii Puerto Rico and the Philippines was fascism.

The Red Scares were fascism.

Starting the Cold War was fascism.

Neoliberalism is fascism.

It's almost all fascism.

This Paul Ingrassia guy is what imagine Pee-Wee Herman would look like if he tried to go 5 whole years without jacking off.

It shows me the opposite when I unblock them lol.

I thought this platform's protocols or whatever were coveted, but it's buggy AF SMH.

TIL that George Lincoln Rockwell (founder of American Nazi Party, for those unfamiliar) was turned on to antisemitism by other supporters of the famed General Douglas MacArthur.

I'm not that surprised, but it speaks volumes about the US during the Cold War, none of it good.

Fools! Can't you see it's good Pritzker is sending ISP to rough up protesters?

It will convince SCOTUS it is unnecessary to deploy the military to Illinois!

Many of them might hold more than one passport but they might not want to return to their home country for...reasons.

Yes, the people who were directly culpable for crimes against the Soviet people and humanity, absolutely.

Even Wikipedia shows that the Soviets requisitioning POW labor of technical specialists from defeated Nazi Germany was nothing like Operation Paperclip. They didn't even keep them!

The Union forever!
Hurrah, boys, hurrah!
Down with the traitors
And up with the stars!

Mailing Freedumb Foundation's bullshit back to them with handwritten messages about what I think of them for the umpteenth time.

No, he preferred to use a different slur.

He was so ridiculously fascist, I mean, here he is in his own words: (I don't even feel right typing the alt text lol)

Not to worry, we got this figured out.

A 90% tax on exiting the country, even paid by people they're abducting and forcefully removing from the country?

Maybe with an exception if you want to invest in crypto in El Salvador.

This is not without precedent.

The parallels here are particularly alarming.

FINALLY someone has asked this very important question.

Anyone who wasn't heard it, I definitely recommend a listen.

It's filled with gems like this.

And it's the only voice recording of Hitler known to exist in which he is not giving a carefully rehearsed theatrical performance.

It doesn't even look like statewide elected officials in Oregon have come out and said No

Pier Paolo Pasolini absolutely had their number.

Fascism is always accompanied by sexual sadism.

And yet I have seen a preponderance of liberals insisting that communists are the ultimate racial essentialists and cravers of a white ethnostate.

Just absolutely spitting in the face of logic.
September 26, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Liberals urging people to read Timothy Snyder to understand the present moment is like recommending people read Henry Turner Ashby to understand Weimar & Nazi Germany.

On the surface, it seems like a worthy recommendation but it's actually ponderous dogshit.

Even if this is the kind of Matador she meant, I refuse to believe it. Or contemplate it any further.
September 24, 2025 at 3:33 PM
Honestly, what the fuck could they possibly mean by this?

Mind you, this is a thread about how it's actually reductionist and racially essentialist to object to Trump/DPRK comparisons with "what're we a bunch of Asians?!"

Just a couple of excerpts, tables, and charts. It's hardly the whole argument, but it gives one an idea of the premise.

Apologies for the lack of alt text, there's quite a lot of words.
