JoelJoel posted:How bout fascism? Or are we doomed to repeat it every time society goes through some fundamental change while also dealing with migrant populations? Fascism is capitalism in decay. It's not due to a migrant crisis (1920s Italy hardly had a migrant crisis), the current migrant crisis is merely a trigger. But yes, as long as we have capitalism, we are doomed to keep sliding into fascism.

Yeah, I misspoke a bit, but migrants are pretty much the perfect target for the internal and external enemy require to fuel fascist sentiments. Ask about fascism in the US 10 or even 5 years ago and the enemy would have been Muslims and/or blacks. Now, though those two groups will still be included, the focus is on South American refugees and brown peoples in general. Though I would contend your definition a bit, I have to fully disagree that you guys are sliding into fascism you're already firmly into stage 3 and about wrist deep into stage 4

Epic High Five posted:watch people and audiophiles being huge marks is a trans-generational thing, if you want the boomer adjacent stuff look for the stuff that's cultivated a ridiculous culture of masculinity through consumerism about it my friend, rest his soul, used to make a shitload of money making convincing looking fake Rolexes and Olymupses and stuff via bootleg parts with a smattering of genuine parts, usually the part where the clockspring spins out there's an actual interest in making genuine-looking fakes, but you have to really be into watches for that

the Beatles are really good. if you don’t like them fine but they are objectively great. it’s really a historical quirk or accident that people as talented as McCartney and Lennon ended up together as teenagers and then fell into an industry suited to exploit their talents like that. it would not have happened today.

The beatles are extremely good but they get an outsized proportion of airtime on a lot of stations. Even if something's great you can only hear it so many times.
