    Nah, Fascists dont want to build a white ethnostate, some want a Jewish, Indian, etc. ethnostate.

      Nationalism is nationalism and it all depends on the culture and race group

      White Caucasians want a white nationalist state

      Blacks want a black nationalist state

      I’m Indigenous Canadian and I know a few extremely minded Native people who believe in a Red Nationalist State … I’ve known a few that if they saw a white guy on their home reserve, they’d beat up the white guy just because they were white.

      It’s a human emotion … we like to be part of an ‘in’ group … and we want our ‘in’ group to be the one in control and hold power over all the other groups.

      Any fascist state no matter the culture or identity is a fascist state that no one should ever tolerate

      They’re both violent! Or, at least, I’ve been told they’re both violent and the news wouldn’t just lie to me, right?

      Who owns these big publications again? Bari Weiss and the Free Press, you say? Well, it’s got Free Press right there in the name, so I’m assuming they’re on the up-and-up.

    I just started watching the film The Apprentice and I’m just trying to figure out how people like Trump and his mentor Cohn can get away with so much shit. Is professionalism just a fairy tale? Cause it looks like behaving like the biggest asshole in the nation is a viable way to get ahead.

      An army of lawyers and PR experts, and some mobsters. That the bastard made use of his buffoon imagery to even allow himself to enter a WWE ring because “sports entertainment” is bread and circuses – and the audience loves kayfabe.

    I’ve never been a fan of red, white, and black. As far as I’m concerned the Pride Progress flag is the ideal flag of egalitarianism and anti-fascism.

      I mean, that’s pretty damn queer-centric don’t you think? The actual and potential victims of fascism go way beyond just queer people. And there’s plenty flags, both now and historically, that are linked to antifascism. Most of them aren’t red, white and black

      Plus I’ve always found the progress pride flag kinda ugly, but that’s just personal. As a queer person who’s into vexillology, a fair few of our flags have that problem. It’s also been used by so many capitalists to falsely give themselves the appearance of being egalitarian

        the whole point of the rainbow flag is to not put a representation of literally everything you can think of, and instead using the rainbow (which IRL contains all the colours we can see) as an umbrella.
        So yeah no let’s ignore that and just slap on one symbol for every specific identity we can think of, oh hey if you squint your eyes the flag is just white now!
        😭

    Antifa calls dissenters (anyone to the right of them like social democrats) fascists and and would put them straight into gulag if they could.

    Regarding Jews, it depends for both of them.
