Quick Comment On The "spoke To Animals Like They Were Listening" Thing, Animals Do Understand Tone, And

i wasnt planning on argueing, but even if i cant really argue with god, especially when its about personal definitions

I see a lot of people throw around the term fascist on this website, but I’ve never seen a definition for it, so I’m going to provide one.

The definition of fascism, if you look it up in a dictionary, should sound something like this:

a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and race above the individual, that is associated with an autocratic government

Source: Merriam-Webster

This definition of fascism notably includes both Nazism and Classical Fascism (Italian Fascism) but leaves out other Fascist movements, namely Brazilian Integralism and Falangism.

So to really understand Fascism, you must first understand the “arms” of what makes up a fascist government or movement.

The arms that I was taught are as follows:

1. Corporatism - the belief that class conflict is unnecessary and the various social classes must cooperate and do their job. Please note that it is used in other contexts, and Fascism usually adds on the caveat that the classes cooperate with the good of the state

2. Militarism - Fascist movement traditionally merge state & military, which goes with corporatism to militarize society into strict and rigid social hierarchies. This also has the added effect of making Fascist nations more belligerent but also more unstable, as a fascist military when overstepping its duties often contradicts official government policy (for an example, look up the Marco Polo bridge incident)

3. Hatred of intellectualism - fascist movements dislike intellectualism, as freedom of thought can contradict what they believe to be the one truth. This is an important time to tell you that Fascism is a reactionary movement. Fascists do not like change, and dream of an imagined past ideal society.

4. Violent rhetoric against communism - Fascist movements arose in Europe as a result of the ascendancy of the USSR. Many prominent fascists used the fear of communism to cement their power and initiate purges. Fascists dislike communism because communism advocates for abolition of class structure and social equality, neither of which fit with the nationalist & hierarchical view of Fascists.

5. Ultra-nationalism & supremacy of the state - these two go hand in hand, as Fascists believe their nation to be above all else, superior and unbeatable in every way to every other country in the world. The state is the supreme power in fascist nations, and compliance is not expected as much demanded from all citizens. This often ties into racist views of fascists, who believe their race, similar to their nation, to be superior to all else. It is important to note that some fascist movements were not as extreme in the race department, as Integralism advocated for people of all races co-existing, so long as they were subservient to the states will, and Falangism believed that all Hispanic peoples (Spaniards, non-Brazilian South Americans, Latinos, Mexicans, and Philipinos) were all part of the super race, and should interbreed to create superhumans.

6. One leader - fascist movements have one person who is viewed as supreme & infallible, who wields autocratic authority over every aspect of the state and is treated as though they are the nation in many cases.

7. Feeling of national humiliation - fascist movements often espouse that their country has been slighted or humiliated by their allies or rivals in the past, and that the only way to make up for this stain on national honor is to expel those who humiliated the country (often ethnic minorities) and create a homogeneous and pure society

8. Mass media & propaganda - Fascism uses false statements and misinformation as propaganda to cement their authority and make their influence complete.

So with all of that in mind here are some prominent fascist governments both in history and modern day:

1. Italian fascism, aka classical fascism was started by Benito Mussolini and was the offical ideology of Italy until the end of WWII. Corporatism was the biggest tenant of this branch, along with a strong feeling of national betrayal by the allies in WWI.

2. Nazism, a movement that existed after WWI was taken up by Austrian politician Adolf Hitler, who led Germany until his death in 1945. Nazism called for racial purity, and used anti-Semitic & slavophobic rhetoric, all of which eventually led to the invasion of Poland (a Slavic country with a large Jewish population) and the start of WWII

3. Francoism / Falangism were competing Spanish ultranationalist ideologies following the conclusion of the Spanish civil war. Dictators Franz Franco won out and his ideology would rule Spain until the 1970s. The linguistic discrimination used by Francoism laid the groundwork for the modern Catalan & Basque independence movements

4. The Japanese military ruled Japan in a military dictatorship during WWII, and used fascist rhetoric and tactics, coupled with Japanese society being already arranged in a way to facilitate this, and supreme loyalty to the Emperor. The movement died out after WWII and the US occupation of Japan, as the Japanese military was formally disbanded and downsized immensely

5. Yes by my definition, Trumpism is a fascist movement. Please note that Trump is not a Nazi, he is a fascist and more specifically a Trumpist.

6. There were many smaller and less significant fascist countries during WWII and after, but I don’t know enough about none of them to say definitively if they were / are

im convinced terfs lost those "put it in the right hole" puzzles as a baby. "oh lets put the non-dangerous woman in the mens bathroom and the non-dangerous man and the womens bathroom, because that wont cause confusion and distress among everyone, and certainly not the cis women seeing a full on man in the female bathroom, because they have xray vision and can see that they also have a pussy"

the last part is especially important, because people will only ever see a trans person as trans if they knew them before transitioning, and the last part is really true in the bathroom scenario because a man in the bathroom will look much more scary than just another woman in the bathroom. "even if trans people dont rape then at least were not making people scared from seeing a man in the womens bathroom" my ass

i know its gonna be unpopular, but imma say it, this is in the same vain as when north korea takes your pass port.

So, in Brazilian, USAmerican, and LGBT+ politics news, transgender Brazilian congresswoman Erika Hilton has received from the USA a visa marking her gender as male.

Hilton canceled a trip she was going to make to the US this month, where she was going to participate on Saturday (12) in a panel at the Brazil Conference, and says she will take action against US President Donald Trump at the UN (United Nations) because she considers the case to be transphobic and disrespectful of her Brazilian civil records.

an estimated 1-5% (so lets say 2.5) of the world population is ace, now lets half that for the 50-50 gender split, thats 1.25, and 80% of asexual women have experienced rape at some point in their life, thats 1%.

instead of ...not... hating on 1% of the population whove faced rape (and are women), she protects a bassicly non-existent group of likely hundreds-...- well just hundreds, at the cost of two whole groups of people (0.6%~, and 2.5%~).

shes being extremely hateful and bigoted towards 248,000,000~ people, whilst """protecting""" (people can go in the oppisite sex's bathroom anyway) a miniscule group of just a few hundred, even having a significant (about 1/3) of that group having experienced something she should be concretely against (rape towards women) according to her entire **CLAIMED** belief.

shes either delicately misinformed, or just bigoted, and in neither one she is a feminist, because she just isnt.

The fact that jkr doesnt seem to realise that the freedom to remove and decenter sex from your lifestyles and relationships, to not be told that sexual experience gives you measurable value, or to simply not be forced to be sexual when you dont want to be is such a massive part of women's liberation just cements what I already suspected: that shes never been a feminist at all, just a racist old creep with no life outside of her hatred

actuall feminists have fought for tens of years to prove that women arent just their genitalia, but whoops! here comes tippity-top white woman and says "actually i prefer this", and tumbles the whole tower down significantly.

ok, for those of you who don't know, jk rowljng donated £70k to an organisation of Scottish women who wanted the legal definition of a woman to be based on biological sex alone in the uk. today they had this ruled for in court.

the legal definition of a woman in the uk is now based purely on biological sex, which will likely fuel the deconstruction of laws made to protect trans people and fuel new transphobic laws. we are still apparently protected from discrimination though.

the worst part of this is that news reports have been treating this as a good thing. jk rowling is painted as an amazing person in school assemblies. after doing not only what she does on twitter, but actively funding the discrimination of trans people.

'trans person' getting turned into 'transperson' is always so confusing to me, because trans is just an adjective, like i wouldnt call someone bigjohn just because their name is john and they're big, even if theyre commonly reffered to as big john or even big-john.
