The group of more than a dozen masked individuals marched wearing red shirts and black pants, waving flags with swastikas on them. It is not clear at this time who the group is or affiliated with, though many of the shirts said “Blood Tribe.”

    Oh I know why but it’s not just a Western culture thing, it’s a human thing but recently changes in human culture has made the west especially susceptible to it.

    It’s tribalism and fear and lack of investment in the future of our nation, it’s economic stress and social disconnectedness and the very human desire to try and blame all problems on a single monolithic entity, and to follow the largest and loudest person who hates that monolithic entity so much he will take your culture to the victorious promise land of a past that never existed.

    That is fascism in one paragraph.

      it’s a human thing

      Since when is capitalism a “human” thing? You know… capitalism? That thing fascism cannot exist without?

      That is fascism in one paragraph.

      Yeah… I don’t think you know anything about fascism.

        Humans invented it and have widely adopted it across nearly all cultures?

        Do you even think about what you write or are you using an LLM?

        Yeah… I don’t think you know anything about fascism.

        Well considering how pants-on-head idiotic your first statement was, I’m not sure your personal definition is any more informed.

          Oh… humans “adopted” it, did they? It wasn’t forced on humanity through hundreds of years of genocidal colonialism, eh?

          You’ve already swallowed a view of the world that is quite compatible with fascism - what else are you willing to swallow?
