Antigravitas posted:Tbh., if you manage to read Mein Kampf front to the center, that's an achievement. It is incoherent drivel and the prose is garbage. It's even worse if you read it in German. It makes the fact that millions of households proudly displayed it in their bookshelf even crazier. How do you subscribe to an ideology when its influential manifesto is complete nonsense? Going by what I've seen of how people deal with politics nowadays: anyone who agreed with him probably rationalized that anything in the book that seemed stupid or incoherent was actually just too smart for them to understand so they didn't bother thinking any further about it. They picked up the important bullet points: we're the good guys and the Jews and anyone else not like us is the bad guys. No big thoughts required

Has this poo poo been posted here yet? TLDR of the below tweet: Millionaire youtuber Mr. Beast has put out a call that his fans go to walmart and try and fix and organize his displays of whatever thing he's selling (a candy bar?) and his fans reply about how they do it. https://twitter.com/steinkobbe/status/1632165857710297093 This above tweet criticizing it has gotten a ton of responses like these    Love to volunteer to clean up my favorite public space, Walmart, for my close friend Mr. Beast Garrand has a new favorite as of 16:54 on Mar 5, 2023 |

In the big Patrick Moore discussion, it's important that we not lose track of the most important point, which is that James Joyce's writing is, in fact, garbage.

I see this claim made a LOT in right wing circles. In trying to argue with them about it, things always seem to boil down to "Communism is fascism because they want the government to control businesses." Point to how fascists want an ethnostate? They'll link some Op Ed about how some tiny liberal arts college wants to keep its Poc only spaces on campus or something. Remind them that fascists LOVE tradition and think the trappings of the modern world are symptoms of degeneracy? They'll post a video of some alleged communist doing some "I'm rubber you're glue everything I am I'll project onto you" quote. Ask why antifascists would fight actual fascists in places like Charlottesville? They'll shrug and conclude fascists are such quarrelsome dum dums they don't know how to get along with anyone.

Or they'll just say the definition of "fascist" is "powerful dictatorial government" and  heeeyyy that sounds like the USSROr that the definition of "Nazi" is "anti-American" and that's where their thoughts end. I can't be a Nazi, I'm a red-blooded patriot!

The huge giveaway is that by their own stupid logic, if communism=fascism then it would be so easy for them to insist that THEY are the real anti fascists. But as it turns out, they never argue that beating up a "communist" is an anti fascist activity. They'll never frame it as opposing fascism. They'll point to antifa and say they are the "real fascists" yet never seen to take the credit for being the "real fascists". Curious!
