We’re not headed towards fascism. We’re already fascist. This is nothing more than silencing free speech. Just silencing a voice that said things the establishment didn’t like. It’s no different from the S.S. arresting germans who spoke jewish sympathy.
We’re not becoming fascist. We’re already there.
It’s no different from the S.S. arresting germans who spoke jewish sympathy.
Bit of nitpicking here, but that would have been the job of the Gestapo.
It’s been here for decades, they always build fascism in silence then go mask off once it’s full fledged
Since the seventies at the latest. Union were unified and synchronized with parties post-WWII, worker’s demands reconciled with those of capital. That was originally the project of il Duce, but we took it out of his hands greedily.
We could do fascism better than him and what is more fascist than to peg the worth of individuals, the economy, to that of a not necessarily racialised abstract people of a Nation? Now anyone can become a fascist by subordinating themselves to the state. A German is anyone who is a good citizen to the German state, Japan and the US are the same.
In Benito’s words: “Race? It is a feeling, not a reality: ninety-five percent, at least, is a feeling. Nothing will ever make me believe that biologically pure races can be shown to exist today… National pride has no need of the delirium of race.”
What exactly is he being accuse of?
The “official” line is that he mentioned personal information about the ICE officer who killed Renee Good in his criticism, which they are forcefully misconstruing as doxxing/incitement to harass. Which all completely falls apart when you consider the information was already reported on by major news outlets and completely public/part-and-parcel of tens of thousands of similar posts. But our government is made of shameless knuckle-draggers, so here we are.
Wrongthink
This is PR and American propaganda for the real sauce last month where Reddit, Meta, and Google basically assumed the proper position and voluntarily gave DHS info.
They suffered reputational damage, and this is their government compensation package: a promotional up-do.
Protesters have launched an effort called “Resist and Unsubscribe” targeting ten tech companies they perceive as exceptionally supportive of ICE. That list includes Meta, Google, and Amazon, but not Reddit.
That’s… odd. I seriously doubt Reddit deserves the exclusion.
Their first mistake was being a redditor
Paywall.
I included the paywall removed link in the body of the post above
Email wall* to be clear. Meaningfully different from a paywall – and imo also shittier since I’m paying with my spammability rather than my money that supports the journalists. But easier to negotiate with a sock email.
