Your assumption is that fascism is... inevitable? non-existent? not worth fighting? ...good or useful, even?
Just trying to pin your motivation in calling someone a tankie just for pointing out passive enablement of fascism...
in some respects, fascism is inevitable as there is no solution to preventing fascism from becoming a thing other than hoping that nobody does a fascism.
In some respects, it's not worth fighting for because fighting against it only justifies the deluded methods of the fascists at play.
It's only good/useful in the perspective of the fascist.
Criticizing a non fascist for letting fascism exist is a rather weird response to take when fascism is the literal threat at hand here.
Your full-on defeatism when it comes to fascists but rabid and cynical opposition to simple expressions of anti-fascism is pretty telling in itself.
Yeah, I'm not engaging this any further. Ick.
These people love to find new creative ways to say "all we can do is let the fascists fascist, 🤷♂️" then turn around and call people accelerationists for mentioning they listened to a podcast about ww2 that called Hitler a bad guy.
not unlike how i'm being labelled a fascist sympathizer in this case either. Gotta love politics.
You're being labeled a fascist sympathizer because you STARTED with calling somebody a tankie for pointing out democrats are complicit in our march toward fascism, then just started slinging every ""centrist"" trope around "I'm not a Republican I just think the real fascists are the people who won't let fascists overhaul the entire government to their whims, laws morals and standards be damned."
I'm also not engaging further with you, I just want you to know nobody is buying your bullshit.
yeah, that makes sense, but to be clear, someone literally started this thread by bitching about democrats not doing anything. Which has been a quite substantial tankie talking point for the last few years.
you mean the factual problems around dealing with fascism?
i don't recall saying this.
