A literral fascist isn’t Hitler or Mussolini. There are criteria for determining if a movement or person is fascist. I find Eco 's checklist, which is displayed at holocaust musea, so it has some general acceptance, quite handy.

If you can’t call litteral fascists what they are there is a serious fascist problem going on.
I admit that at some point in Januari someone stated Musk was going to face serious consequences for what he did and I replied that he wasn’t unless there was an assassin willing to shoot through a toddler. I didn’t say we need to find such a person, or someone should shoot Musk or anything like that. Just implied that he wasn’t going to face any kind of consequences of any legal nature. I’d barely count that as “glorifying violence” You can see much worse statements on Reddit every day.
It is nice here, but many of the subs that interest me have very little traffic compared to the ones on Reddit. I do hope they grow.
I feel you man, got permabanned as well. Apparently you can not say mean things about Musk, Trump and Israel there, sooner or later it’s going to be glorifying violence, and after that they sic a report bot on you or something and you get banned for multiple breaches of the rules, which are entirely ficticious (the breaches, not the rules). Afaik fascists got me banned so they’ve got one less voice calling out their bullshit.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto News@lemmy.world•J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization133·16 hours agoAside from hurting Trans people, these things hurt women both those afab or not, and given the numbers of each group they end up hurting way, way, way more cisgender women. So every opportunity, every interview with Rowling, every comment on a tweet to her should be “What happened that made you hate women this much?”.
I mean it’s sad that she can’t love the trans, but if that was just a prrsonal dislike, ok everyone has barely rational likes and dislikes, can’t be helped. But to make that public, and then to go to these lengths, to sacrifice the safety of all women on the altar of that hate and fear, that is truly sick and sickening.
So the question is “JO, WHY DO YOU HATE WOMEN???”
Because because of her hate mongering, women are getting in trouble and often beat up for going to the bathroom, get humiliated by having to “prove” they’re “real” women to pushy agressive bigots. I fully expect one day to lose my job and end up in jail for beating up some such asshole who thinks they should humiliate my wife or daughters that way.

Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto News@lemmy.world•Trump administration pulls the plug on the bird flu vaccine18·2 days agoDon’t worry about it, you will be able to get vaccines developped in Europe, Asia or Africa. The tarriffs will no doubt be minimal. Besides if you don’t test for it you don’t have any known deaths from that.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•French farmers block highways around Paris to push for risky pesticide re-introductionEnglish10·4 days agoAbsolutely,valid protest is valid. But it’s not the act of protesting that makes someone right. I understand the farmers in that they get a tool taken from them that saved them a lot of time, and they probably have long term contracts with the companies selling that stuff. However they are objectively wrong to push for a product that is this harmful.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish11·4 days agoNo a lot of the old resistance weren’t tools, but they (Israël) have learned from that. So they have cultivated resistance that is shaped to look like the kind of thing the West fears (wether you call it Islamophobia or not, it works) . Secular, leftist groups easily got sympaty abroad while religiously inspired fanatics get easily classified with groups like ISIS or Boko Haram. And I’m not saying they are like thise groups just that they have properties that allow people to classify them in the same range, and that is by Israeli design.
If you want help in your war, get an enemy that other people don’t like as well. Make them strong enough that they can really hurt, but not strong enough that they have a chance of winning and let them attack civilians and minor military targets but never the real policy makers. That is absolutely what Israel has done.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish11·4 days agoThat last sentence describes you perfectly. Damn it’s sad.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish22·4 days agoI don’t know if there is significant real resistance as Hamas will happily target rival groups. Besides it’s oppressive government 101 that since there will be resistance, you (the government) organize it yourself, so you know and control who’s in it. A smart oppressive government doesn’t leave that to chance, and whatever else the Israeli government is, they are not stupid.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish1·4 days agoYes, indeed.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish13·4 days agoIt was very much sponsored by Israel. You may not want to see it but that is a you problem. It’s pretty well documenten. The PA is also no more than a tool for Israël, and just as complicit in the whole thing.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish13·4 days agoI don’t propose stripping the right of armed resistance.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish13·4 days agoThey are not equal one is a tool of the other. I miss when we had Arafat and Rabin and hope.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish14·4 days agoYes I assign blame to Hamas because they’re the puppet that gives a tiny bit of legitimacy to the horrors Israel is commiting in the eyes of the West.
This does not in any way reduce Israel’s responsibility in this at all quite the contrary. The fact that they use Hamas, and Hamas uses the Palestinian population in this way makes it much and much worse. If Hamas were a legitimate resistance they would go after leaders, real strategic targets and such not the attacks that are designed to cause outrage but have no value in advancing their supposed cause.
The only difference between us is that you fall wholeheartedly for the lie that is Hamas. You differentiate them from the PA, but they are one.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish15·5 days agoI understand that you feel that way. Israel has managed to make an unpalatable group the face of Palestine resistance. Frankly both Hamas and the Isreali government are complicit in the genocide. You are led to believe that if one side is evil the other must by default be good. In this case I only see a master and a puppet. The october 7 attacks were exactly what and when Netanyahu wanted. Hamas was groomed by Israel to shape as many Palestinians as possible into the kind of people that other nations fear and contributed with their own senseless violence to radicalize the survivors against them. Israel managed to paralyze the international community into inaction with telling them they are antisemites if they condemn their crimes. But those words ring more hollow every day. In an ideal world everyone responsible would be arrested and tried Neurenberg style. But apparently we’re all too afraid.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish17·5 days agoAnd what have they done to defend the people being genocided? Nothing at all. They’re like the kid who kicks the school bully from behind and runs, leaving only you for the bully to see when he turns around.
Kickforce@lemmy.wtfto World News@lemmy.world•Israeli army controls 77% of Gaza: Media officeEnglish69·5 days agoHamas exists as it is today because it has been sponsored by Israel, while other, non religious extremist Palestinian parties/organisations were sabotaged by Israël. It was a clear choice to have an agressive and unreasonable opponent rather than a diplomatic partner that could be worked with towards a peaceful solution. Hamas is very much a creature of the Zionist Israeli politicians and has consistently worked against the interest of the Palestinian population to give Israel excuses to do what they do. Hamas is not worthy of your support, the Palestinian population who is caught up between all this, very much is.
What a weird thing to say.
