The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state

  • Benito Mussolini

This is part of what true fascism looks like

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 63 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, well, what does that guy know about fascism?

[–] Kovukono@pawb.social 23 points 1 week ago

I thought he was mostly remembered for his diet plans.

At least name the rep. There’s plenty of us here who would gladly call them.

It really does seem like they are just trying to click bait when they pretend to not want to name the Employer

We warned the people who sat home on election day about project 2025 and yet they covered their ears and enabled all of this.

And Democrats were warned that they need to stop putting their thumbs on the scale to push the most dog shit candidates that don't promise anything that will help the working class. Fascism happens when democracy is unresponsive to the needs of the working class, and for the last 50 years Democrats have just been great at finding excuses for why they can't do something. Do you think Trump will listen to the parliamentarian if they disagree with something?

Fuck, Democrats have even been voting for his cabinet picks, despite claiming Trump is a fascist. They all voted to confirm Marco Rubio.

what about biden? Dude was pretty popular with blue collar workers, and pushed a lot of good relevant legislation.

this is factually, not fascism, i feel like im speaking with nazis trying to "subvert" the normie population and "enlighten" them or whatever the fuck groypers do.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're either purposely misunderstanding my post, or just obtuse. I'm saying fascists get elected when democracy fails to solve people's problems, not that that unresponsiveness is fascism itself. Look at Weimar Germany and Italy.

to be clear, what you said is an extremely obtuse way to say that "people elect fascists when they want a fascist"

people are acting like it's some fucking new world order plot to overthrow the US government with fascism, but like actually, a bunch of idiots with the ability to vote did it.

also, if you wanted to make that statement more generally accurate, "fascism happens when the people feel that traditional government has failed them" since fascism tends to be primarily opportunist by nature.

And voters were warned with years of inaction that they needed to start being more engaged.

The reason we have so many shit candidates is because people don't show up for the real ones.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 week ago (15 children)

"The purpose of a system is what it does". If our system consistently produces shit candidates, shit policies, shit results and demoralizes voters... Then we have a shit system and nothing will ever improve until we demand a modern multiparty democracy with proportional representation and safe guards against fascism.

I was told by a coworker, just after election day, that Project 2025 was just propaganda, and that "Democrats have their own propaganda too you know..."

Shit left me speechless. I was just like, let's revisit this conversation in three months.

I voted for Harris out of harm reduction with a funeral dirge in my heart yet again voting for neoliberal scum that sold out the country to the corpo Fascists lock step with Republicans for decades, but is this the resistance from now on, or will we eventually stop scolding what is now the past hoping it will change the present or future?

Because it won't. You can't shame his voters, Republicans have been immune to shame since Reagan, and scolding the low information "I'm not political, teehee when's football/Reality Show crap on" people who haven't had anything at all to vote FOR, only against the greater evil for the last 50 years will only make them roll their eyes and remain disengaged.

Either foment hot revolution starting with destroying the capital markets, steal the DNC with a socialist populist as trump did as a fascist populist to the RNC, or back a socialist Party. Everything else is masturbation on a sinking ship with the capitalists tearing new holes every day.

Because either under neoliberals or Fascists, the capitalists are unrestrained. And if the capitalists remain unrestrained, the planet WILL burn in our lifetimes for all of humanity effectively forever, as millions of years is forever to our little monkey brains.

I know some illegal recourses, and if they try to illegally destroy American lives then turnabout is fair play.

Did a little bit of Reddit sleuthing, and it appears that the user lives in Nebraska, most likely in the Omaha area. That would mean that their representative is most likely Don Bacon, though if they live a little south of the city, it's not impossible that the representative is Mike Flood. Still, based on the users activity and the district maps, my money is on Don Bacon.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

so.... what im hearing is that we should doxx don bacon?

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well, if you wanted to call him, his Washington office's number is (202) 225-4155 and his Omaha office is (402) 938-0300. Sometimes, representatives home addresses are just public information. In my state, Congressmen and Senators residences' are published on the ballot. That doesn't seem to be the case in Nebraska, but it appears he lives in Papillion, and at least one source claims that this is his house. No address, but I'm sure a dedicated sleuth could figure out the exact address and organize a safe, legal protest at his house.

[–] Brosplosion@lemm.ee 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don Bacon sounds like a corny name for a pig mob boss in a satirical Animal Farmesque story.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago

You come into my barn, on the day of my piglet's wedding, and ask me to do murder, for swill...

I think the quick recourse is to find a new job and quit with no notice and no orderly handover once secured.

The longer term recourse involves lawyers but might end up with the OOP owning the company or at least getting a huge settlement.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

More likely lawyer path is a lot of debt

This is a good opportunity to remind people to search yourself on the major search engines and take whatever steps necessary to remove your online presence.
