"Contrary to a 'horseshoe' theory, the evidence reveals increasing antisemitism moving from left to right."

Remember kids, it’s not hypocrisy to be intolerant of the intolerant. They have broken the social compact and are therefore no longer protected by it.

Memes that come with citations? Now that’s how you shitpost.

Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.

Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn't the case. Fascism is everywhere.

I will believe in horseshoe theory when a fascist moves so far right that they accidently create a stateless, moneyless utopia.

This is playing down the actual behavior of fascists in a very careless way.

• They do not just kick out minorities, once in power they systematically hunt down and murder them!

• They do not just jail dissenters, once in power they systematically hunt down and murder them!

• They do not just "say no" to Jews, once in power they systematically hunt down and murder them!

Look, can't we just find some common ground and meet in the middle?

...hmm.

I've usually heard horseshoe theory referring to tankies/authoritarian communists, not anti fascists.

The main job of fascism is to protect capital when the majority of the working population grows disillusioned with capitalism and might get the wrong ideas about socialist revolution and stuff

I just want to point out that not all fascists are Nazis. Can I point that out without getting crucified?

I will clarify that if you're any kind of fascist, you're a trash person, doubly so for Nazis specifically... But not all fascists are Nazis. Which the OP chart seems to imply.

To drive my point home, I'll quote Wikipedia: fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism

Nowhere in there does it say that fascists are anti-Semites, nor white supremacist. Those ideologies are generally attributed to specific fascist ideologies... Eg. Nazis.

Let's not sugar coat what people are. If they're Nazi fucks, let's call them Nazi fucks.

This very special take on Fascism brought to you by Zionists-R-Us.

(Remember, boys and girls, people from the Jewish ethnicity couldn't possibly be Fascists).

Am i that much more extreme for thinking that the best solution for Nazis isn’t discriminating against them but educating people to respect so Fascist ideal can no longer take hold?

I know of intolerance for the intolerant, I've spread that message myself i am just no longer convinced that burying the problem into private conversations only (Which should be absolute free speech unless you want some sort of police control inside your home) is tackling the problem at the source.

My wish is to eradicate this ideology once and for all not to hide it like we try to do with homeless in rich neighborhoods.

Guys, regarding white ethnonationalism: the key word here is egregious.

Sure, you got fascists who are not ethnonationalists. Or who are ethnonationalists towards another "race", such as the Hindutva ideology. However, white ethnonationalists are an egregious example. They exemplify the issue with fascism amazingly well, because they're the worst of the worst, and they're extra common.

How come only white people get to be fascist? That's not very fair. What about China? Aren't they fascist AF?

Thing is left right isn't much of a line, no matter what shape it is.

The right is a point, they'll get behind a populist and go to jail for them.

The left is a scattered mess of disagreeing elements who hate each other almost as much as they hate the far right.

And of course they both hate the dreaded "liberals".

Horseshoe theory is dumb, but it's really just an observation of the loudest ideologies on the far left and far right, which both happen to be authoritarian. Authoritarianism becomes necessary as you move toward the extremes because you have to coerce some people/classes to accept the system. And it's true that real-world instances of both Fascism and Communism have been authoritarian, and so they share some things in common. It isn't a particularly nuanced or deep understanding, but it is true that authoritarian forms of gov't are authoritarian. The difference lies in the details. Communists used authoritarianism against capitalists and the nobility, and fascists used it against minorities. Horseshoe theory conflates "authoritarianism" with extreme Left and Right-wing ideologies. This contrasts against anarchism (and by extension the broad anti fascist movement), of course, which is extremely anti-authoritarian (hence why horseshoe theory completely falls apart here).

Is antifa extreme left?

Isn't like most of the problem fascists who aren't explicitly calling for genocide? I thought that the antifa position didn't support free speech for them too

Left and right is just another meaningless tag to attach to people. Its really jerks vs everyone else. You can't tell a leftist jerk from their right leaning clone. You can take the garbage they spew and substitute a few words depending on the what flavor they call themselves and hear nearly the exact same thing. Then you have the joiners. Who have to belong. Who will pick one side to belong. They by far are the worst of the group since they lack any spine to keep them honest.

This shit is so misleading. Fascism isn't the only authoritarianism. They too are anti-fascists. But you don't get free speech.

Nor is it a white only problem, or deadly only to Jewish people.

Antifa has not been taking much action against the violence directed at Jewish students at colleges around the world , despite the fact that many of these Jewish students are not Zionists, they are just identifiable as Jewish and so are conflated into being Zionists.

Someone hasn't listened to anti fa and modern communists talk about jews

It's so frustrating to see something like this and realize that an increasing number of people align their views with the anti-fascists, thinking they are the "good guys", without seeing the inherent hypocrisy of the beliefs they hold. On paper the anti-fascists portray themselves as accepting, but the reality is quite the opposite. Generally speaking they are authoritarian pricks who will label anyone who disagrees with them as racist or bigoted simply to undermine their point of view. No idea should be above criticism.

I think privileged white people are the largest problem in society these days. I think violence should only be used as a last resort to self defense. I prefer minorities because I find them to be hard working with strong family values. I think freedom of speech only works if it is universal (especially extending to those I disagree with). I'm not entirely sure what classifies as a "dissenter". I have tremendous respect and appreciation for Jewish culture and the way in which they build community. And yet I have been called a fascist/racist/bigot many times online because I respectfully find the actions and beliefs of ANTIFA abhorrent.

If you scream down viewpoints you don't like rather than seek to understand, if you use violence to intimidate, if you seek to wield power to destroy your political enemies, then YOU are the bad guys. ANTIFA does all of these things then hides behind the ruse of being "anti-fascists" because they are cowards and are no better than the fascists they claim to fight against.
