Saying NO to fascists/nazis - if you are one of those, you are not welcome here

i'll have you know i think news about pokemon exeggutor emerald is extremely important (it has vendor in the pokemon league that sells x items, so convenient)

I’ll just be writing that one down……. Expect a post about it…….. soon…

Nazis, Fascists, and supremacists showing once again that the only thing they are superior in is stupidity by walking right in and announcing themselves in a topic where they are told they will be banned thinking they won't be banned.

This is one of those threads like "don't criticies monopol of WHO and mrna vaccine, because we know better and you have no source."

 

[PrincessLisette]

This is the only correct stance to take. Thank you for this.

While I agree with the "saying no to facists/nazis" sentiment, which is kind of an obvious thing to any decent human being, thing is very few people nowadays actually know what facists and nazis really are anymore. These words are now basically used to berate anyone with a different opinion and have lost their true meaning, and many seem completely oblivious to the fact that nowadays facism is not yesterday's facism.

I am of Israel; I despise the Nazi regime like I do the lion who leads it, and wishes to be on the prowl, seeking souls that it can devour. Fortunately I gave it a hard kick to its eye and punched it hard in the ribs while being undamaged.

it is very important. The marvel of hacks where exeggutor is actually relevant and worthwhile to place on a team.

Good, Very good, Fascists deserve nothing but a punch to the face to be quite blunt (THIS IS A JOKE BTW but they still suck ass.) but i'll settle for having them banned too. Please stay true to your words GBATemp, i love this site but there is no place for hatred towards the innocent here.

inflaming people into cruelty and evil by misdiagnosing their problems as being someone else's fault (bourgeois, counter-revolutionaries, etc), then maintaining their power by spreading fear and division

Marxists don't spread division, we simply point out the already existing division and seek to dismantle it. Marxists don't misdiagnoses "their" problems. We don't blame immigrants, minorities, or poor people. We know who is responsible: the bourgeoisie, their bought politicians and the military machinery that serves their interest.
Oh and just to point it out, Marx and Engels didn't "create" Communism.

But - as it was pointed out by other people in this thread - this debate does not belong here, since the original post was about Fascism, not about Communism

Fascist/Nazis:
People Burning Books about why racism is bad or from a teenager and their experience before their death in Nazi Occupied territory.
Trying to stop any criticism of their leader or nation.
Trying to and wanting to deport natural born citizens based on their race/genetics.
Trying to make protests a crime worthy of being in one of the worst possible prisons in the world (pretty much a gulag).
People arresting innocent people based on their looks alone, and still transporting them to said prison children included.
Calling anyone news outlet that doesn't agree with you "False news" or "Propaganda".
Refusing to return a man home after a mistaken arrest from said prison.
Trying to remove/re-write history to exclude women or anyone not white.
Trying to undo years of social programs that helped minorities or the marginalized.
People claiming to be a superior race.
People that claim every person of a particular group is the cause of a problem or all the problems in a nation.
People that constantly call the opposition pedophiles and rapists, while having actual pedophiles and rapists on their payroll.
People that give heavier sentences to the poor and disenfranchise.
People that are trying to repress education to the masses.

People haven't forgotten the word, there are just more of these examples cropping up in the world and to me it just seems like handwaving these acts when you say people forgot the meaning.

The dog whistle buzzword is hilarious. People who blame "Marxists" for everything they don't like, yet never substantiate their claims with a quote by Marx.

worth mentioning that marxism is just a way of thinking, communism is a semi-formed set of goals revolving around giving society a community focus rather than individual focus
fascism is even less easily defined, but it has clearly hostile intentions by its very nature

if you listen to the right, communism is functionally a death cult focused on the annihilation of life and happiness by any means necessary, a factually inaccurate description
the reason tmp64 brought up volkerabfalle earlier was because of george watson mistranslating it and that guy was known for saying hitler was a marxist, the guy was deranged
i'd ask why they don't just glance at wikipedia to learn that they're mistaken, but...

i guess the point i'm making is that defining these things and why/how they're different is a prerequisite for a meaningful discussion on the topic
fascists know this and attack the very language we use to communicate and twist it, introduce lies and doubt into it so it can't be used to reliably discern reality
they have their own facts, their own truth

Can we like take a time out on the communist junk discussion and instead take it to its own thread?

 

[ChronoCrossfangirl2002]

i agree with this post 100%, nonetheless going forward i hope everyone can at least try to debate respectfully even in video game related threads.

 

[Vixi]

I sure hope too much winning doesn't damage my liver.

I totally agree, it's so shameful to see some folks here become so outraged about having a different opinion on the matter that it goes into fights.

 

[gnmmarechal]

But, would you rather know whom to avoid and where they congregate, or get clapped in the back one random blue moon for possibly even looking inappropriate in their eyes?

I'd rather KNOW who the extremists and room temp IQ cats are, and where they congretgate so I can easily avoid em altogether.

Oh, I am glad I know, I just can't begin to express how disappointed I am.
