Neocolonialism in the streets, social welfare in the sheets. Social democracy is neither democratic nor social (except if we’re talking about socialising the rampant exploitation of the developing world, I guess?)

I tried to read this article but I teared up too much and I couldn’t see to be able to keep on reading.

If Yoko Ono were still alive she’d write an song with an odious, racially-charged comparison between Hillary and black people and everyone around the world would come together every year on November 9th to listen to this song and to mourn our collective loss.

T-Tankies bad!! Updoots to the left, tyvm.

Ah yes, that’s very true. You must be something a field anthropologist.

People in the East wouldn’t ever protest and get away with it.

Meanwhile, westerners who hate their government would never be brought up on charges for the crime of “posessing books, black clothes, fabric, and paint” and then get disappeared into solitary confinement for exercising their constitutional rights.

That’s a very valid contribution that you made to the discussion. Nice work.

Westerners hate their government so much that they cannot see beyond their own parochial worldview to even entertain the idea that some people would feel generally supportive of their government.

Those sneaky Orientals must be lying in order to trick is good, honest, non-perfidious enlightened westerners again.

Zero books recently published a Marxist (hot)take on Jesus in the book Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict that might be of interest to people.

I haven’t read it yet so idk if it’s decent or not.

The liberal denies their ideology exists 🙄

The most insightful lib.

The person who assumes the nationality of their interlocutors, despite clear evidence to the contrary, and who assumes, despite all readily available evidence in linked articles, that Atomwaffen and The Base are purely-US phenomena is objecting to the fact that I assumed that they typed out a written comment.

You really don’t have any capacity for humility, do you?

Can’t get whiplash if your head is empty *taps forehead*

German Social Democracy and the Rise of Nazism by Donna Harsch (Page 237)

I think history illustrates very clearly what happens when these people who are anti-fascist in rhetoric alone are pushed into action end up doing

Does Australia not run concentration camps?

Sounds about America

Bro, did you get whiplash typing that comment out?

US problems

One: get your head out of your arse and maybe, just maybe figure out that your US-centric outlook might be quickly disproved by the fact that my language is a strong indication that I am not a yank.

Two:

Are you illiterate or do you just dismiss evidence out of hand because you assume everything comes from and is about the US reflexively because you are so US-centric in your outlook?

This is where you should feel ashamed of yourself but I’m not convinced that you actually have the capacity for humility given the fact that you’re talking out your arse and you assume that you know enough about The Base and Atomwaffen that you don’t need to read the Wikipedia entries on them.

Are you so insular in your outlook that you literally don’t believe that there are any fascists organising in your own country?

Are there not concentration camps on the US border? Does Australia not run concentration camps?

What is this “not living in the time of concentration camps” that you’re referring to and when did this era begin?

Nazis: kill people

The Allies in WWII: killed people

Ergo, the Allies were literally Nazis. QED 🤓🤓

That’s not what whataboutism even refers to. Your fallacy-brained nonsense is blinding you to the strawman argument you just made.

This is such a fedbait thing to say.

If people are organising and doing direct action in their irl lives, they sure as hell aren’t going to be bragging about it online to impress a pearl-clutching lib who disapproves of direct action because “hate perpetuates hate”.

Just because you aren’t personally doing anything about the threat of fascists and just because you find the American History X message to be poignant and compelling doesn’t mean that this applies universally to everyone else in the world. You’re just telling on yourself by adopting this attitude, at least to the people who are engaged in activism.

My dad was a neonazi and he loved watching American History X because he enjoyed the representation of his beliefs up on the silver screen.

He was entirely immune to and ignorant of the moralising that underpinned the denouement of the film.
