“When and if fascism comes to America it will not be labelled ‘made in Germany’; it will not be marked with a swastika; it will not even be called fascism; it will be called, of course, ‘Americanism‘“ - NY Times (1938)
See the thing is, it’s often still marked with a swastika. Why? Because a load of these dipshits couldn’t imagination their way out of a wet paper bag.
I mean, if you look at the Hall of Shame you can see they admire Hitler.
If you really want to stop fascism, you have to stop it from taking root. The problem is that people think the root is “random bad guy appears out of nowhere and brings about fascism”. To truly prevent fascism from taking root, you need to starve it of supporters. Those supporters start with the obscenely wealthy afraid of losing their wealth who fund fascists who then promise the desperate masses relief from whatever ails them. A huge component of that is inequity, largely driven by economic warfare waged by the obscenely wealthy.
This right here is a message that often gets lost in the culture war. It’s a mistake to assume that people, especially rural white southerners, support Trump because they sat down one day and thought logically about it and reasoned themselves into supporting Trump. No, if they had done that, they would have ultimately come to the conclusion that Trump is one of the people responsible for the massive inequality that is the root cause of all the problems that American society is facing today.
The wealthy do not care about the man himself, or his ideology, only that he is a convenient puppet who can be controlled with campaign funds to protect their own wealth in the long term. To them, Trump is the most convenient and effective scapegoat ever - he takes all the heat, and they reap the benefits of having regulations peeled away, workers rights erode, and wages stagnate. To that end, they must convince the public that Trump is Jesus and Joe Biden is the Devil
The common folk who are suffering get tricked into supporting him when the propaganda machine funded by the wealthy paints the fascist hero as an everyman who you’d love to share a beer with. Someone who is an simultaneously an underdog whose struggle one might find endearing and relatable, but also a shrewd tactician and a threat to the ephemeral “other” keeping the little man down. Then Trump gets up on stage and says, “These people are your enemies, they are the cause of all of your woes and suffering, and only I can stop them!”.
When put into perspective, it’s not hard to see why people flocked to him in droves. The only message they were ever allowed to hear, by design, was “Trump’s the man, he’ll fix everything.”.
Hate to tell you, with our military in their hands, it would be a fascist reign of darkness only guerilla insurgency could address over a long course of time if at all. We spend more on our military industrial death machine than the next 9 nations combined. It would be slaughter. As an example, there are 12 nuclear powered aircraft carriers on Earth, 11 of which are ours.
The rest of the world vs. Fascist US would be the end of civilization, because fascists would have no qualms using every apocalyptic tool in our arsenal, preferring the world end to losing control of it.
An empire, if you will.
Precisely, and being sold on the same fascist terms of promising safety and security for the right people against their imagined enemy scapegoats.

Nuclear weapons are the only relevant one. The reason for our massive military (or, at least, one of the reasons) is the presupposition that it might be necessary to fight wars on two fronts at some point (Pacific/European Theatre in WW2 style). Our conventional military is overwhelmingly powerful compared to other countries, but the process of an invasion, of taking and holding ground, is generally difficult unless the opposition is completely devoid of reason to resist.
The rest of the world could kick our ass in a protracted conflict, if they all unanimously agreed that the US had gone insane and had to be taken down as a matter of existential survival.
Problem is, authoritarian forces are on the rise in Europe and India already, and already in power in Russia and China. If the US goes, that could be a tipping point for global politics.
Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
Fascism is our One Ring, we can destroy it. Nothing says ideals are immortal. Nothing says fascism is a hydra and can only be abated. It knows that this is its last chance, people are beginning to change their democratic systems to better reflect the majority beliefs. That’s why misinformation is rampant and yet people still produce tech that makes it easier to create and spread. Worldwide, one election at a time, we can all topple fascism this year, but only together.

No offense, but just because someone fought against Hitler, doesn’t guarantee that they would vote against the Republican Party. My mom’s dad fought in the Army during WW2. He loved to give my older sister lectures about how she shouldn’t date any immigrants that weren’t European, and told her never to date other races. My mom was surprised by his lecture (it happened out of nowhere at a family dinner). She asked, “what about _____ (me)?” He looked at me, and then muttered something about blood types and how it didn’t matter who I dated. I guess he wanted to share with us that he didn’t want my older sister making babies for other races. Most of the countries he named in his list of “don’t date these people” were countries that were not our ally in WW2, so I can understand his concerns about my older sister ever dating their citizens. Good ol’ grandpa! 🤷♀️
You can stop spouting this blood lines/gangs nonsense everywhere.
You are mentally unwell and should seek psychiatric treatment.
S’okay. Mods got’em.
Wait why was it ok for you but not for your older sister? Are you male? Is that why?

What in the fascist fuck are you talking about?
Oooh, anime. That really makes me think you studied biology.

lol! I’m not a fascist. I swear. 😆
It was really sad to be dumped in 2009 by my fiancé when he realized we were never going to conceive together. I miss him every day, but he over on. He married a woman who was rh+. I guess he got what he wanted in life. I’m not being some fascist who thinks only certain people should breed. I’m trying to let people know that certain people can’t breed together. Meanwhile, my distant cousin thinks he some sort of saint, or stork, who has been passing through people’s marriages, without invitation. I love my kids. I just don’t love being misled and then raped.
Wow, this snuck in just in time to be the stupidest lemmy comment I’ve read in my first year on the site!
Women who are Rh- definitely give birth to Rh+ babies, otherwise Anti-D prophylaxis wouldn’t be done to prevent the very dangerous interaction of the two blood types in case of bleeding.
I’m 35 years old, married an O+ man and did not have babies with him. Why did my distant cousin, who is O- rape me in my sleep to make my babies, if my husband and I would have eventually conceived? And why was my family okay with that happening to me, unless it was about blood type compatibility? Was my husband sterile BEFORE his vasectomy (which he had years later, after my kids were born)? If he was sterile, he never would have needed the vasectomy. I’m pretty sure he now has kids of his own with a woman who is rh+. He wasn’t abstinent while separated from me, during those years we spent apart, after I was raped. Oh, I guess my ex boyfriend that I dated before I met my husband happened to be sterile? The guys I dated after splitting from my husband must be sterile, huh?
If you really believe my view on it is wrong, please conduct a longitudinal study to prove otherwise. DNA is relatively new, and studies that might have been conducted in past decades might not have dna tested the children to prove paternity. Please, prove me wrong. Conduct a study and present it with dna evidence after any children are born from it.
You are very unwell
No, I’m just stating the fact from my own, one-person study. Sorry it didn’t contain 30 or more rh- women that were randomly selected to avoid bias and produce a large enough sample.
If I didn’t have any morals, I could make it a betting game over blood type compatibility, in some place like Vegas. Rh+ guys would lose a lot of money one month, or less, after taking a bet that they could knock up an rh- woman. Sorry to break everyone’s contorted view of “it’s 2024, anything can be possible now”, but I’m just stating the facts. My babies are always pale and O-. Take it up with whatever God you do, or do not believe made the human race.
Maybe you should write it all down on your car with a marker and drive around to spread the news
Why did my distant cousin, who is O- rape me in my sleep to make my babies, if my husband and I would have eventually conceived? And why was my family okay with that happening to me, unless it was about blood type compatibility?
Have you talked to somebody you trust about this, maybe a therapist? Sounds like you have some trauma to work through.
It can get better, I promise.
What I’d like to do is have my children take the ancestry dna test and show that they link to that distant cousin. Then I would like to have everyone attend therapy. Yes, I have been through therapy. My parents are in denial and insist that my children were made by my husband. He has no interest in them, hasn’t spoken to them since 2017, never asked for visitation, and even produced baby pictures from a family photo album to show everyone how different he looked when compared to my kids as toddlers. They still insist that he is their dad. I didn’t bother to ask him for child support in our divorce documents. Their biological dad owes us all a new life. He owes me missed moments of motherhood with my kids because I had to work so many hours to provide for my children, with just my own income. My husband refused to contribute to my children. If it was an expense for the kids, and it wasn’t some present he felt he had to buy for a holiday amongst family, then he refused to pay. I don’t blame him. He isn’t related to my children at all!
First of all, I’m so sorry.
Second, I see your n=1 study and I raise you another n=1 study, I’m Rh positive, so is my father, but my mother is Rh negative.
If you want to go against science, it’s up to you to perform the actual studies.
Please get a dna test between you and your mother. She might be your stepmother. Also, buy Eldon cards for both of you, as well. Make sure you both were correctly typed as the blood type you think you are.
That’s… not how it works? I’m not sure if you’re trolling, and I’m not sure it would make the situation better at all.
I’m just going to be blunt here and say this reads like a paranoid schizo rant. I think you should seek mental healthcare while you still can. Seriously.
Uh oh, I’m talking about blood types and its effects on breeding. Time to frame me as mental and lock me up, huh? Let me know when you make an rh- kid, assuming you’re rh+. I’ll be impressed and change my views. Honestly, just provide proof of your blood type and the fact the kid is actually yours by dna. I will be happy to apologize. I just require proof.

What even are you talking about? Absolutely nobody is trying to silence you when it comes to blood type compatibility with partners. You’re seriously projecting right now.
You can’t see the removed, past, comments and posts that I have made about this subject. I had people telling me to get raped, telling me to go f_ myself, reporting my comments and posts as racists, and attacking me through DMs. I have had to remove my past comments and posts because they truly upset people. The sad part is, you’ll see people posting about ghosts, paranormal, and other BS topics. I’m trying to explain what happened to me personally in relationships with rh+ men, and I get attacked. I have proof that there was never a baby with any rh+ man with whom I had a relationship, but people still want to insist that rh- women can have rh+ babies. Show me one with dna evidence that the rh+ child is hers, and I’ll be quiet. Otherwise, I’ll just sit back in horror as people bully and attack my point, while they move along to go promote some BS paranormal activity idiot in another area of Lemmy.
I hate to break it to you, but the US military has never been antifascist. The US didn’t oppose Nazi Germany and Kokutai Japan because they were fascist - the US opposed them because they were colonialist rivals.
Here’s the thing about antifascists - antifascists don’t have to be ordered to take up arms against fascists.
I hate to break it to you, but the US military has never been antifascist.
And from this reason American soldiers killed shittons of nazi scums and sacrificed their lives?
the US opposed them because they were colonialist rivals.
Strangely, you do not suspect USSR the same way.
Fuck off tankie.
I think what’s happened here is, since .world blocked hexbear and lg, the teenkies don’t get enough attention from their edgelord bullshit, so they sign up at .world and then all of their comments sit at the bottom of the threads and they blow their load into their Chairman Mao underoos.
Strangely, you do not suspect USSR the same way
No, because the USSR was trying to align with France and England as soon as the Nazis came to power in a policy known as “Collective Security” which, as someone interested in the fight against fascism, I’m sure you’ll be very interested to read about. If you want concrete, easy evidence, here you have a Telegraph (not suspicious of being Tankie I hope, although you guys use that term so lightly you may be convinced they’re Tankies too) showing how Stalin offered to send 1 million troops together with aviation and artillery to England and France on the condition that a mutual defense agreement could be reached. Why England and France rejected, two countries which unpromptedly sent tens of thousands of soldiers to the Tsar loyalists when the civil war between them and the Bolsheviks began, is up to anyone to guess.
My utmost respect for all brave people who fought against nazism, including US soldiers, but comparing the USSR’s policy against Nazism to that of the US and putting them on the same plane is just ridiculous.
Is this USSR “anti”-nazi, “anti”-imperialist policy behind the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact, aimed to divide Poland between USSR and nazi 3rd Reich?
Try to tell these fairytales in some Baltic countries or middle Europe in public.
aimed to divide Poland between USSR and nazi 3rd Reich?
That’s literally a revisionist talking point. As I’ve shown, the USSR was the first country in Europe to try and pursue a policy of collective security and mutual defense against fascism, which was rejected for years by England and France. The fact is that the newly born USSR wasn’t industrialised enough to fight fascism alone, as proven by the 20+ million soviet peoples who died in the war against Nazism, so they tried mutual defense with England and France in the first place, and when they rejected, they made appeasement pacts with the Nazis (just as many other European countries did). Or are we so quick to forget that the then Polish Empire also got territorial gains from peace agreements with Hitler?
Try to tell these fairytales in some Baltic countries
You mean the same Baltic countries that achieved independence because the Bolsheviks literally allowed them to? You should read upon how, for example Finland but many other countries in Eastern Europe, got their independence from the russian empire. Finland, as an example, was part of the Russian Empire for centuries. After the Bolshevik revolution in 1917, in a historically unprecedented and extremely progressive constitution, the Bolsheviks allowed for the self-determination of all peoples of the former Russian Empire. The Finns voted out, and they were out. Please, I beg you to come up with any historical precedent of a democratic secession before that one. How is that not anti-imperialism?
The fact that the soviet union invaded certain eastern-european countries in preparation for a war against the Nazis isn’t “Russian imperialism”, it’s preparation against Nazism. In fact, as soon as the USSR retreated from Finland after its invasion, Finland was quick to ally with the Nazis, to the point that Finnish soldiers were fighting in the siege of Leningrad. Again, how quick are we to forgive and forget a literal alliance with the Nazis when we want to, huh? Nobody in their right mind would accuse the Finnish of being imperialists and “as bad as the Nazis” nowadays, and rightfully so, because their decision to help Germany was probably motivated by the recent past. The same applies to the USSR reaching a peace agreement to prevent the 20+ million deaths that ended up happening as a consequence of the war.
I seriously suggest that you revise where this reactionary reinterpretation of history is coming from. In France in 1950, 70+% of people polled answered that France was saved because of the USSR. If you ask nowadays, it’s less than 20%. History is being rewritten by reactionaries, and by saying shit like “USSR was imperialist and allied with the Nazis to invade Poland!!!”, the only thing we’re doing is being unfaithful to history, and propagating fascist talking points.
That’s literally a revisionist talking point.
Thank you for marking at start that reading of all the rest is waste of time.
As expected, when you bring up actually historical points to the table, the anti-communists run away. Have a good one mate.
Oh, look… a liberal crying crocodile tears because one of their favorite fairy tales got debunked.
Yawn.
And from this reason American soldiers killed shittons of nazi scums
How many of them volunteered to fight fascists, genius? Here… I’ll give you an example of actual US antifascists so that you can tell tell the difference.
Strangely, you do not suspect USSR the same way.
Suspect the USSR of what, liberal?
Fuck off tankie.
Oh, look… yet another liberal throwing terms around they don’t know the meaning off.
Do they churn you out in a factory somewhere, perhaps? You sure all do seem to come preprogrammed to spout the same gibberish.
It was nice to read about Lincoln Battalion. I did not know this. Imagine Spain, Soviet, USA, Canada on the side of communism, fighting against the Nazi Nationalist Faction. Whoa… I could watch that movie.
Imagine Spain, Soviet, USA, Canada on the side of communism,
It really is too bad that Stalin, together with the the US and Britain, went out of their way to undermine and sabotage the most fierce and capable of the Republican factions - the anarchists - which essentially made a fascist victory inevitable.
Stalin helped the fascists win?
In the beginning, yes. Ask Poland.
Who’s The Polish?
Omg is this bad and actually insulting to these vets who died for us.
How is this insulting?
Because I’m calling his team out for what they are.
That’s not my “team”. You just see what you want to see.
Systemglitch is right, those white soldiers statistically probably supported segregation and would be fascists by any modern standard.
You’re telling on yourself
Don’t try to suggest that the anti fascists of today even remotely resemble the men that landed on those beaches, my grandad being one of them.
Some of them may have only been teenagers but they certainly weren’t slacktivists too scared to show their fucking faces.
Edit: Okay, apparently not praising antifa as war heroes makes me a fascist. Thanks for the enlightening arguments, everyone.
yeah suck it.
Like me, a former service member, Antifa today doesn’t need to be drafted to do the right thing. You don’t get to stand on the back of a family member who did to pretend you have some moral high ground.
I’m standing on nobody’s back or claiming to have any kind of moral high ground. Merely stating that antifa haven’t done enough so far towards their goal and thinking that maybe comparing them to people who died (or could have died) in combat is quite insulting.
I’m standing on nobody’s back or claiming to have any kind of moral high ground.
You sure af are. You cited a family members service to add credence to your statement.
Merely stating that antifa haven’t done enough so far towards their goal
Bruh you don’t know up from down in terms of what you are talking about. You should just stop.
I’ve heard numerous firsthand accounts of what it was like on those beaches, I’ve been to protests and I’ve been pepper sprayed before. They’re far from the same thing. I’m just working with the information that I personally have. If you think that the two are in fact comparable, I’d like to hear your reasoning.
If I “don’t know up from down” in terms of what I’m talking about would you like to elaborate instead of just telling me to stop?
Have you actually served?
No?
Ok. We’re done.
I never said I didn’t serve and how would that matter exactly? Have you actually served fighting against fascism? Did you serve in WW2? You may have seen some shit but surely you wouldn’t like protesters being awarded with the same kind of reverence a soldier gets?
If some of these protesters haven’t served maybe they should shut up too because they don’t seem to know anything. You’re just using your service to lend credence to your non-argument.
I don’t think it’s proper to equate protestors with war heroes and I’m wrong because you’ve served. Okay, I’m convinced.
You do realize stealth ops and misdirection were significant parts of operation overlord right?
IE, “not showing their faces”
Fair point but it’s barely the same thing. One’s for the greater good and one’s for oneself.
Oh, look… a fascist sympathizer!
Don’t be ridiculous. Pointing out that current efforts at stamping out facism by antifa are obviously not working and resenting the comparison between them and men who risked their lives and died fighting it does not make me a fascist sympathiser.
Fuck me for having the wrong opinion and seeing room for improvement.
Pointing out that current efforts at stamping out facism by antifa
So far, antifa is the only thing that has had any effect on the fascists, genius - you and your liberal brethren, on the other hand, have done nothing but vote Wall Street liberals into power that “reaches across the aisle” to the fascists before you’re even done celebrating their wins.
men who risked their lives and died fighting it
Oh yeah? What about the ones who died propping up fascist regimes in Korea and Vietnam? Were they (supposedly) “antifascists,” too? Or where they just men who, like their counterparts in WW2, were ordered to “defend 'Murica” before being sicced on whoever posed an obstacle to “manifest destiny”?
But don’t worry about any of this, liberal… you’ll soon get your chance to show antifa how you can fight fascism so much better than they can soon enough - that is, if you haven’t decided to put your head down and co-operate with the fascists like most of your liberal fellow-travellers inevitably will.
I like how you instantly assume I’m an American just how you instantly assume I’m some kind of fascist because I think equating antifa with war heroes is distasteful.
“Oh yeah? What about the ones who died propping up fascist regimes in Korea and Vietnam?”
I was talking about those who were landing on the beaches and by extension the allies of WW2 in general, as was the OP image. You can’t just try to expand the scope of what I said to try to make it sound like I praise all dead soldiers regardless of the cause. We were talking about fighting against fascism.
I like how you instantly assume I’m an American
I don’t give a fuck where you’re from.
I think equating antifa with war heroes is distasteful.
Yeah, I agree… equating people who voluntary stand up to fascists with those who has to be ordered to do so is extremely distasteful.
You can’t just try to expand the scope
Oh but I can, and I did - you want to pretend that the US military that particpated in WW2 is (somehow) completely unrelated to the US military that waged dirty mass-murder campaigns on the 3rd world both before and after WW2.
Yeah… no. I don’t think so.
We were talking about fighting against fascism.
You mean that thing you haven’t done a shred of so far?
Not everyone was drafted, you bell end. Plenty were there because they signed up.
I’m not bothered about what the US military has or hasn’t done, frankly. I wasn’t talking about the whole history of war, just that particular war and the alies, specifically.
And how do you know I’ve done nothing to fight fascism, anyway?
Stop being a sourpuss.
And how do you know I’ve done nothing to fight fascism, anyway?
Your vapid ideology gave me a clue, liberal.
The big difference between modern anti fascists and latter day anti fascists was Roosevelt’s reimagined Democratic party.
If Prescott Bush or Hoover still held the White House in 1941, there’s a good chance America would have been an Axis Power.
they certainly weren’t slacktivists too scared to show their fucking faces
Slacktivism is when you’re doing the yeoman’s work of community organizing behind the scenes.
Activism is when you’ve got a heavily corporate sponsored YouTube channel, you’re doing cable news speaking circuits, and you’re telling college grads to get back in the kitchen during commencement ceremonies.
Yikes
Hey now, pointing out the false equivalence between “antifa” and real anti-fascists makes you a fascist, doncha know.
Apparently so.
Shows you how delusional users on social media are with all the downvotes you are getting.
Or that you’re both morons.
A moron for thinking it’s improper to compare political protestors with war heroes.
You do know that antifa means anti fascist, right? It’s not just a modern political organization with a funny name. And you also realize that the ww2 soldiers were literally fighting fascism of their day - thus anti fascist. Yes?
Yeah, the name makes it quite self evident. What’s not the same is what they’ve managed to do about fascism, particularly in Europe.
I know, their grandpa was a hero!

Project 2025 is undeniably fascist. They want to round up all (brown) immigrants because they have “bad blood”. That is textbook fascism.
Trump says immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of our country.’
Im not gonna engage w the fashbot arguing with you, so ill instrad reply here to affirm that trumps use of “blood poisoning” is still justvas dehumanizing and fascist no matter what way they try to deny or obfuscate it.
I can’t see anything that backs up that ‘blood’ claim about, project 2025 except a claim by a critic of the project
If enforcing immigration laws is fascist I guess almost every nation on earth has been fascist for decades
Trump is quoting and agreeing with part of Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf, a book entirely dedicated to fascism.
If you read the NBC article I linked above, you can compare the original from the text with Trump’s quote and see how similar they are.
Systematically discriminating against and causing harm to people based on their identity or race is fascism. You would be correct in saying that around the globe, many of the laws and actions around immigration today can be called fascistic.
Criminalizing the rescue of drowning migrants so they die before reaching land is one such policy.
The term “blood poisoning” was used by Hitler in his manifesto “Mein Kampf,” in which he criticized immigration and the mixing of races. “All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote.
Vs:
“They let — I think the real number is 15, 16 million people into our country. When they do that, we got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country,” Trump told the crowd at a rally in New Hampshire. “That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America, not just to three or four countries that we think about, but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”
Trump then repeated the use of “poisoning” in a post on his social media website Truth Social, saying overnight in an all-caps post, that “illegal immigration is poisoning the blood of our nation. They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”
These are literally completely dissimilar apart from the shared use of the term “blood poisoning”, which would be a translation from a german term for Mein Kampf surely?
I’m not defending either here, but “xyz is hitler/nazi” is literally said by everyone
Do you think people who speak English, would have read the text in German? No.
The words are slightly different, but they have the same meaning. What do you think he means by it? Or when he calls immigrants criminals, murderers, rapists, animals, and “not human”?
These are fascist statements. Nazis called Jews these things as well, rounded them up, put them in camps, often separating parents from their children. The US is already rounding up migrants, putting them in detention camps, and separating parents from their children. Trump wishes to expand these programs, and Biden refuses to end them.
They are literally doing eugenics at migrant detention camps. “A for-profit ICE detention center forced sterilization procedures on immigrant women”
What about when Trump had dinner with a well-known antisemitic fascist?
Why do you think white supremacist, neo-nazi hate groups choose to support Trump?
Project 2025 lines out a set of actions very similar to those the German Nazi party did to install an authoritarian regime after gaining power.
To say Trump is Hitler would of course be ridiculous. However, their ideologies are similar, and modern day fascists are rallying behind Trump.
It’s gross.
If it looks like a fascist, swims like a fascist, and quacks like a fascist, it’s probably a fascist.
Better hit it in the head with a rock to make sure it bleeds fascist too.
Use of violence against political opponents is actually part of many definitions of the term fascism, but it also is present in non fascist countries.
I would so thoroughly enjoy debunking the paradox of tolerance all over your face and body with some sort of heavy blunt object.
Plenty of folks like fascism. That’s a big part of the problem
