You actually believe that every single conservative is a fascist? Jesus Christ political literacy is dead
Maybe you need to go have a read about fascism, then tell me, are the points presented becoming more or less similar to current conservative views?
Oh, I don't deny that a lot of Republicans are becoming fascists, but that is far from "all conservatives are fascists".
Nooo, i finished my comment to you and then upvoted you while proof reading >_> turns out that kills the comment.. ugh..
If i could rewrite my first comment to just talk about conservatives then i would have. I'd rather focus on active threats of evil corp shenanigans.
I agree that republicans are becoming fascists in the overt sense. My views are based more on that they are unknowingly fascist by actions, not awareness. Conservative policy in a nutshell is really just "We good, You bad" and power plays without any rational explanation. Can you really name any decent policies conservatives have? All i hear is hate, scapegoating, intensification of totalitarian power structures, increasing control for corporations, war and guns. Those things were key in Nazi Germany too.
I just use the term capitalism since there is no difference in the goals of either.
Not necessarily in all countries, but in the USA I'd say all Republicans are fascist, or at least complicit in the spread of fascism. The conservative wing of the Dems, nah.
He's from lemmy.ml it makes sense
