    Idk about y’all, but I like it when the fascists are stupid enough to out themselves to the world.

    My thoughts exactly - I want my enemies to have a uniform to be pointed, named and shamed at.

    remember in world war 2 when the Allies defeated the nazis by naming and shaming them?

      I love how everyone's like "I like knowing who the nazis are!" and absolutely zero ideas on what to do about them

          This got me thinking. The common trope in Hollywood movies and shows is that, once the good guy wins, he usually shows mercy to the villain, and the villain sees the error of their ways and everyone gets along, or at least the conflict is resolved. I don’t hate this message of grace in principle. However, history has shown that this kind of behavior is never rewarded. If the loser is given an opportunity for an unlikely comeback, they will take it. Maybe this is part of why these neolibs don’t know what to do once they’ve caught a villain? It’s like thinking death always looks like someone croaking out epic final words before literal X’s replace their eyes, or that the entirety of sex is just when you kiss your crush and the studio audience goes “ooOOOOOoooo”

          Harry Potter is a psyop

          objectively the left wing of fascism, capitalism in decay, the oppression of imperialism turned inwards, etc etc.

            naw theyre the mainstream wing of fascism. social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism

            there is nothing “left” abt fascism, hence the Stalin quote abt social democracy

            ik what u mean tho, these ppl def think that they’re left wing

        Probably very hard to get a good hitler-detector reading in Aus because of the high level of ambient Hitler Particles.

    There is hardly anything liberal about tolerating explicitly anti-liberal/anti-democratic forces.

    That's... the most liberal thing imaginable.

      I think the most liberal thing imaginable is a universalisation of property rights (of a particular cultural pedigree) and a fetishisation of markets (unless inconvenient to those with lots of property).

    You do realize that free expression requires that you permit things as reprehensible as racism, transphobia, homophobia right? You're literally doing the "Well I dislike it, so I'm revoking their rights" thing. I frankly don't give a shit what they "call for" unless they're trying to incite imminent unlawful acts. The crutch for the weak-minded and stupid is asserting yourself as the only moral and political authority and pretending that this will not immediately blow back up in your face. If being an actual liberal with principles is right-wing, then I guess I'm right-wing. It's better than being a spineless succ with no principles and who thinks liberty is removing the liberty of others.

    they just SAY it!

      They would have absolutely zero disagreement with a Nazi putting minorities in death camps so long as it's the law of the land.

      Damn that's what we've been missing. Instead of saying "Shoot the landlords (in minecraft)" we should have been saying "shoot the landlords (at sometime in the non-imminent future)."

        The thing about this that really upsets me is the BEING A NAZI is inherently calling for violence. Like, even by their own stupid qualifications this is breaking the rules

      Turns out when you are a free speech absolutist who defends communists just as much you might just end up one yourself.

      Neoliberals know they're next on the Nazi spectrum so it does make sense they'd be concerned once Nazis are targeted.

      I mean, statistically the closest thing you can get to sending people to labor camps based on race is doing it by the socioeconomic status you were born into, and that's their idea of utopia.
