Are we the baddies?

"Look just because we control all three branches of government, have replaced compent government workers with loyal ones, tried to overturn the last election we lost and are working to ensure we'll never be able to lose another (assuming our plan to incite riots doesn't work so we can just declare a national emergency so we don't have another election), have created a secret police to snatch people off the streets, are prosecuting our political opponents or anyone that we deem to be not loyal enough, are removing press credentials of journalists and trying to force news outlets to sign agreements to what that can report, are using the FCC to silence voices of dissent, have sent in the military to occupy our own cities, have had friendly oligarchs purchase traditional and social media companies to silence critics and push our own propaganda, are using government resources to push partisan messages, have declared anyone that disagrees with us as anti-American, are using our military to sink civilian boats and murder the people inside, are ignoring orders of judges who don't rule in our favor, let our oligarchs choose which government programs to axe, created our own cryptocurrency to facilitate bribery by foreign nations, have declared anti-fascism to be terrorism...

doesn't mean we're fascist!"

I have lunch meeting with a magat in a few hours, I'm going to try my hardest to memorize this!

This meme doesn't sit quite well with me because hat implies only MAGA is fascist when the US has been historically fascist.

This literally happened in Spain a couple days ago

The "fascists" part refers to actual antifascists that went to confront the actual fascists (falangists)

That's ridiculous! Falangists practically invented fascism.
- Yes, they're the original Spanish flavour of fascism

It is almost as if the public criticism of antifascism is in bad faith.

You mean its the anti-anti-fascists who are fascists?

You guys dont even know a real fascist.

Whatever Lemmy calls fascism is just hilarious.

A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism
American Heritage Dictionary
America is literally a fascist state rn
- Now look up definition of dictator next.
Gr8 b8 I r8 8/8
- You missed the "m8"
- Wow thats an old meme
Fascism is the violent, merciless face of capital it reveals when it takes off its liberal mask. It's when property relations have decayed and are in crisis due to the unsustainability of capitalism, and the state needs to violently assert itself. It comes from the small business owners that are most at risk of becoming working class during these crisis, who then gang up on marginalized groups and working class organizations to protect and affirm themselves.
Running out of communities you haven't been banned from for transphobia or bad faith arguments? :) Why not go to Reddit to post since you think Lemmy is so out of touch? :) :) Seems like you'd probably find more like-minded company over there. :) Maybe try out Truth social or Facebook where you can really rack up an audience of elderly senile fascists who are also transphobic trolls. :) :) :p :)
There is a group with the single purpose of fighting fascism. There is another group, that declares these anti-fascists as their number 1 enemy. Youre seriously saying that those people are not fascists?
This is deffo just a troll account.
