browsing through All has so much pro-fascist posts coming from lemmygrad that it drowns out all the other instances. I’m surprised they’re even federated by default but we should have an option to block instances from All if lemmy is deadset on federating with them just because they are fascists with a red and yellow flag…
(before the Tankies start posting about how they aren’t pro-fascism “Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the good of the nation and race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy” which all describe the Z movement in Russia they gleefully support in multiple posts)
I’m lol’d. Can’t even say the comment with a straight face!
Don’t forget the so‐called American Revolution and both sides of the U.S. Civil War, where the material conditions once again took precedence over liberal ideology. Forcible suppression of opposition is a means to an end, not vice versa. That’s partly why I’ve been studying and discussing Fascism more, because equating it with violent suppression is a popular oversimplification and a classic case of confusing the tail for the dog.
