That'd be the horrendous AI upscaling. Peep the fingers.

There are plenty of racists who aren't fascist. There are plenty or countries with racism problems that aren't fascist. There are plenty of dumbfucks who aren't fascist. There are plenty of illiterate countries that aren't fascist. "Stupidity" (im being careful here - i dont think illiteracy = stupid) and racism predates fascism.

Youve reached the limit of the liberal ideological framework and have resorted to explaining fascism as some sort of cultural pathology. This is what happens when your idealist politics prioritizes individual psychology and moralistic explanations over historical and economic analysis.

It's frustrating seeing liberals watch the fascist devolution in real-time, and just throw up their hands saying "well i guess americans are just stupid! QED!". It conveniently absolves them for their complicity in facilitating fascism, and it spits in the face of victims of US policy, both foreign and abroad.

Yep, one has a donkey mascot and one an elephant. They are definitely different.

More like if democracy breaks, people don't vote. Apathy doesn't come out of thin air.

Dog.... just stop with the copium. It's embarrassing. Trump will never answer for his crimes, period. This should be abundantly clear after 8 years of flopped motions against him.

No Mueller report, no special council, no hush money case.... is ever going to stop this guy.

Give up on the idea of justice against this dude and start preparing for his dictatorship.

Fascism doesn't come out of stupidity. It comes out of the degradation of social safety nets, education, community, and ultimately degrading material conditions.

If, in trying to understand how America is devolving into fascism, your primary question is "how can people be so stupid?", you'll always be confused. There isn't some perfectly crafted argument, no perfect slam, no appeal to logic that is going to mitigate fascism. The only ways to curb fascism are to change material conditions or extinguish fascists.

Humans don't necessarily become afraid of large bodies of water while infected with rabies.

Rabies takes away your ability to drink water and swallow, and attempting to drink feels like you're choking. I think this leads some patients to have an aversion to water despite being dangerously thirsty. They try to drink the water best they can, but they just choke on it.

Also a great example of how fact checking fascists is completely ineffective. Platforming a fascist via a debate does nothing other than legitimize their viewpoints.

You find something cheap from China, then you flip it to suckers on Etsy for 10x the cost.
