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

what if the next pope was just like, super gay, people would either be really mad, or completely ignore them

the late pope was really liberal for pope standards and that was pretty cool and the next one will probably be less chill which is going to suck for Catholics so my sympathies for that.

but I think we can all admit that dying during the highest holiday of the Christian calendar after meeting an insufferable fascist catholic convert is such a power move. and a little funny. a guy so insufferable the leader of his church went "no i can't deal with this guy for four years".

i like how pukicho deals with politics, we should tell more bigots to go kill themselves tbh.

they refrenced magnus hirschfeld in the rfk transgender thingy, add another nazi comparison to the mile-high pile

(magnus hirschfeld was a sexologist who advocated for gay rights, with a lot of them having tried to do suicide because of the stigma around being gay at the time, the nazi's hated him, kinda like being trans or an advocate)

"40% of trans people try to commit suicide so you shouldnt be trans" ahh pseudo-science trans study

If you haven't seen the new anti-trans report that RFK and the Trump administration just put out, I recommend you don't. It's as bad or worse than you think it is. Worse than the Cass Report (which it cites 149 times in its 400+ pages).

It's fully of pseudoscience, cherry-picked half-truth, outright forgeries, discredited doctors, and cites multiple opinion pieces by some of the loudest, most vile transphobic pundits in the country - such as Jesse Singal and Abigail Schrier a total of FIVE SEPARATE TIMES EACH - in addition to liberal institutions like the Washington Post Editorial Board which were committed to "just asking questions.

The report is claims to be exclusively about trans children and says it will not deal in transition care for adults, but it does so frequently and has entire section dedicated to it. At times it baselessly claims that transitioning results in harmful or poor outcomes for trans adults as a statement of fact with no citation to back it up.

It tries to explain away any improvement in trans people's lives as us just being unable to know ourselves due to inherently deceitful nature and inability to judge our internal well-being.

It sites underemployment, increased social and familial discrimination, and higher suicide rates as a direct outcome of transition related healthcare, not as outcome of an inherently hateful and bigoted society.

They are setting up not just banning youth care, but adult care as well.

It's bad. It's very, very bad.

you do actually need someone to do executive decisions, but they shouldnt be the ones profit maximising, or the ones getting all the pie, or the ones DECIDING what to do, their job should just be "hey maybe rename this thing" or "maybe we should add lgbtqia+ representation in some ads for pride month", like nothing more than that, they just get paid double the other highest paid worker

there should be a corporate ladder, the ladder just shouldnt have bombs strapped to it, nor have an automatic skin color detector that cuts the ladder at a certain point

why do people think donations to war struck areas are for the elite to invent new weapons? *someone walks up and whispers in my ear* ohhhhhh because thats what america does with money they get

Anyways shout-out to kneecap, bob vylan, green day, amyl and the sniffers, clairo, blonde redhead, three sacred souls, and darkside for not giving a fuck about "alienating the audience" by speaking out about an active genocide

actually having someone who rewrote the bible and added all "that" stuff in the second half would make sense, like the start of the bible is just like "this is how things came to be" and "be a good guy like jesus was🥰" and the end of it is like "you should stone your enemies babies to death, one by one, agonizingly, whilst the mother of the baby watches in a cage, where theyve had nothing but intimacy for 7 days"

like someone happened in-between those two, theres no way that was even like before and after a mental break

The Bible was low-key a fanfic I wrote about God once btw

as in like a cartoon cage made of bones?

i was about to post the words "i want a ribcage" and im a bit concerned

ok i found my drafts thingy, im fine now, i know dont know shit about fuck

WHY THE FUCK DOES F12 CLOSE WHAT YOURE DOING AND OPEN WIKIPEDIA ON OPERA GX, NO ONE WOULD EVER USE THAT AS A FEATURE, IF YOURE LOOKING AT "BAD" STUFF YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR FUCKING DOOR LOCKED, NOT GO CRY TO A CEO

bro i had like a whole document of text i was about to post, i didnt fucking forsee i would press a SINGULAR button and lose it all. *IM* ABOUT TO LOSE IT ALL

and i swear if you say its for school and stuff or w/e i will tell you to go do your dishes, because its very obvious that you dont have the motivation to do anything, and that includes learning instead of watching youtube

'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.

the video that makes your video lag so much it pauses permenently at the start of watching it (its an image with fidget buttons)

fnaf art should be called fnart

asexual and danish: da(n)cemark

Gay AND European: Faguette

honestly caught me so off-quard that i laughed for like 20 seconds straight

head thoughts no empty

denmark isnt here, you know what that means, its even more invadable now.

International Asexuality Day🙌🏽

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

the LGBTQIAP+ acronym is so disorginized that i have an urge to re-orginize it: QTILGABP+. queer as a start, then you have trans, and then intersex (as its a kind of semi-subcategory of trans, likely you would be trans if youre intersex) and then LG, and then asexual, and then bisexual, and pansexual located next to bisexual for the same kind of reason as intersex. asexual is before bisexual because having a semi-subcategorisation in the middle of the corner stones of sexuality (L, G, B, and A) will feel like its kind of interrupted, but it doesnt feel that way if its after them

meant no harm nor hate, just annoyence for disorginization.

no you idiot, that will only boiling the ice cube, get some melt it water to melt it the ice cube

Pro tip! If you're choking on an ice-cube, just drink boiling water to melt it!

people who wear jeans scare me, like image how much pain they go through just to stay in the "norm", what other things can they do with this indominable spirit.

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.

giving bigots ANY power will cause very-hard-to-remove damages to every single minorities rights. its like were climbing a slippery pole, where theres segments on it, and the segments are what group is in the medias view and currently getting the most rights. but the thing is, we cant just stay at one spot on the pole, if we try, or we try to go lower on the pole, we will just fall, and if we dont try to stop falling (and climbing further) we will fall all the way to the bottom, when women could be legally raped and anyone that isnt white were slaves. affecting one persons rights is affecting everyones rights.

I've never seen a bigger example of rich and miserable. She has nothing better to do than be a straight white woman that feels entitled to every space.

"I stand for women's rights... except those asexual ones because according to me who doesn't even identify with the community, they aren't real even though asexual women speak on the challenges they face and hardships they go through, but because I'm a straight white women I feel entitled to every space!"

Like fuck off. Anyone who agrees with her fuck off. If you think you're a feminist for supporting this behavior your not. You don't stand with a miserable rich woman who feels like attacking random communities at different hours of the day. That is not what a feminist does.

She and her supporters can kiss my natural black asexual ass 💋

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

man, i fold cube

Hey guys?

if I owned a discord server I’d just make a channel called “THE PIT”

there are no rules in “THE PIT” except for harassment still being banned, no images, links, gifs, etc, the only statuses allowed to view “THE PIT” are “the ones sealed away in THE PIT” and moderators, and this exists instead of a ban, “the ones sealed away in THE PIT” can only post and view in “THE PIT” for the time they’re banned. Also across the server you have to refer to “THE PIT” in exactly that way

ok but like im so interested to hear how the republicans would check if someone was a furry, like at least with transphobes you can check someones pants and be like 80% accurate, but you cant really do that with furries

Don't let Republicans distract you with gimmicky culture war bills. Republican policies are making Americans' lives shorter and worse in every conceivable way.
