I know I am in a bit of a dark place, but I need a place to doompost. I am slowly realizing that fascism is unbeatable as an ideology, ugh and where to start?

First off, conservatives remain unbeatable in the culture wars despite being the aggressor. All I ever wanted was to be allowed to mind my own business in peace, but the masses always need to target and harass me just because I'm different. Every day I am constantly told by the media, by the internet cool kids, and just from normal people that "Liberal bad, conservative good" ad nauseum. That I should be treated like dirt for not being white or straight. Sure, you'll see the odd pride flag, but that is pretty much social suicide and is an easy way to get marked as a pariah.

Speaking of culture wars, fascists clearly have the people on their side. Twitter, and most of social media is completely unusable because it's a hog hellhole. Don't even bother trying to talk to them, no matter how many scientific studies prove the races are equal or whatever, I've found that they don't want to hear it, they'll think of a smart-alecky insult to call you, and they automatically win. . IRL is full of hogs too, any time politics gets involved, it's only the CHUDs that talk. I don't talk because I really don't want to get beat up.

  • Finally, we are totally outmatched by them. They have been stockpiling weapons, they have been training for decades before I was ever born. Look, I'm just an absolute scrub, I don't really like my odds.

EDIT: I've taken out a good deal of the unproductive defeatism.

    Lol they have not 'mastered battle tactics', nor are they in 'flawless physical condition' (as if that matters in modern warfare). They are also not geniuses at protecting their interests. They just have alot more money on their side, but they still can't openly control the U.S. government. Most people are incoherent liberals, not fascists.

    Facism is not 'unbeatable' it inevitably beats itself because it doesn't have any decent understanding of causality and history and is therefore doomed to face plant into a war of its own making. As was said before, it's just a matter o how many dead are left in it's wake, which will likely be hundreds of millions. But that is why it is so important to keep fighting, regardless of the odds.
