I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...

It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."

A good portion of our populace has had their empathy removed, short circuited, or simply bypassed.

And they can't even seem to fathom the idea, that once the weapons built it can be aimed anywhere the wielder likes.

So magats are like Nazis, but without the good job market. Magats slid into what they are for less than what the Nazis got. Gross.

[-] Zombie@feddit.uk 18 points 5 days ago

Less than what the Nazis got, with all the knowledge and history about Nazis at their fingertips, and with their ancestors having fought Nazis. Disgusting, pathetic, losers.

"They're not hurting the right people"

Magats are worse because they are in it for the evil.

Damn, he was way ahead of the curve. I tried to tell those exact words to my skeptic and atheist friends, only to liken me to those conspiracy theorists, who thought the nazis secretly control everything.

Turns out, the billionaire neo-nazis openly control everything instead
