yeah like false allegations about being trans [and then getting legally sexualy assaulted by someone "qualified"] will do 100 times more harm to anyone than any trans person just existing [if we dont stop the transphobic movement]
sociolism is taking in *some* money from people to get spent on stuff like infrastructure. this is done so advancement in general living is done, and not just elite living.
sociolism is a balance between 100% communism (having one entity that makes sure everyone is completely the same level) and 100% capitalism (having no controling entity, and its just about whos best).
but some people think capitalism is what sociolism is (due to complete capitalism never existing*, but complete communism has existed),and that makes sociolism look like its inbetween percieved capitalism and communism
this logical fallacy (wich ive never seen anyone point out) makes it look like sociolism is in the communism field
[graphic not 100% accurate, cuz shaky hand on mouse]
tl;dr full capitalism has never existed, so what people see as capitalism is acctually sociolistic, and what people see as sociolism is in reality falls under communism, since most of the commonly known spectrum of economic types is now communism, even though with the full field its closer to capitalism.
i 100% agree, but you know that the ableists will use this as a "look at them theyre rabid beasts"
disabled people should get louder and meaner and angrier. disabled people listen to me. we need to get louder and meaner and angrier.
finnaly, the homosexual version of "kiss your bro's good night, no homo"
I kissed my best friend but it’s okay because she’s lesbian and I’m a gay man which means we don’t like eachother
Whatever man
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
no, im not talking about mana or aura or some shit like that. im talking about how way too many neurodivergent people only use binary descriptors for if they're tired, instead of using a fluxuating descriptor to show how tired they are.
and also people dont properly explain what type of tired they are; if theyre tired from people or physically tired
pro tip: "energy" is best to have 0% be litterally falling asleep on the spot, and 100% is if you woke up in a nice warm day and got some adhd medicine and you slept a full 8 hours
hi a fanta bottle
GUESS WHO GOT THEIR FINGER STUCK IM A FANTA BOTTLE
ace representation is always so weirdly done, like imagine if they had a gay character meet the "right woman"
as somebody who likes zoology, slow ass fish lmaoooooo
I eat animals because they deserve it
the terf arguement completely ignores intent, and instead arrests on gender. like first they'll start arresting mtf people, then ftm, then they will start arresting people who dont look feminine, then start arresting lesbians because they are in the bathroom with the ones they are attracted to, then gay people with the same logic -cut here to real quick say: UNITED WE STANT DIVEDED WE FALL- then women all together because they might be lesbian/trans [we cant know whats in their brains!!!], and then all immigrants because theyre "obviously evil tax payer stealers", and then black people all together because "they dont normally live here", and then people who arent high class because "the POORS dont know latin and dont know the words of god"
-second interruption to real quick say: UNITED WE STANDD DIVIDED WE FALL-
Now youve conquered everyone, the only last people standing are cis straight high-class white males, what now?
*whispering* i really hope this guy doesnt reach too far back in evolutionary families
idk i love seals and spheals. i want to become a zoologist, but i cant pronounce z, you zee my problem?
