MAGA keep insisting they’re not fascists, but then keep doing & saying fascist-like shit.
Wait until we get to the “Yeah, we’re fascists…” part and they get rid of any pretenses at all.
I know I deserve ridicule for watching this channel at all, but you should check out the recent Jubilee 1vs20 with Mehdi Hasan.
They are well past being comfortable calling themselves fascists outright. Not the sarcastic 'you called me one so I'll call myself too' but full tilt yes this is what they think.
Tldw: Just skip to 22:00 for blue shirt guy.

I saw clips of this and thought to post it on Lemmy, but I don't wanna platform jubilee at all. But yeah it's fucking crazy how fucking normalized straight up fascism is in today's world.
Just a thing to keep in mind. These people are all trying to boost their YouTube channels or whatever. They're creators, not random people. They have a vested interest to act in ways that make them go viral.
That's not to say it takes away from the vileness, in fact it intensifies it because it's all the more deceitful to whoever tunes in. But that's kind of how fascism spreads: it pretends to be normality until enough people believe it is... and because of that, it actually becomes normal — it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So these people may not be anecdotal evidence that it's being normalized, but rather they are actively doing the normalizing.
Right after ICE has been deployed in all major blue cities and any opposition, like any critical journalists, activists and politicians, have been suitable intimidated or disappeared.
It has already begun...
You know what they say: if it walks like a duck, if it talks like a duck...
It's surprisingly easy to get into this argument with people as soon as you use the f-word. Thankfully Wikipedia has a definition of fascism, and if that applies to somebody, then they're a fascist. I'm done with calling a spade a "nationalist authoritarian gardening implement".
Oh, but wikipedia has been taken over by the woke left! Argument terminated.
They've still got Conservapedia ( www . conservapedia . com / Main_Page)... This is the best all the people who think Wikipedia is "woke Marxist indoctrination" could come up with to compete with Wikipedia- and its pathetic inadequacy speaks for itself.
Aww man, don't link that shit directly.
But well said.

Pick a "popular page" and weep.
If it steps like a goose...
What was that event they had when the floor was some giant Nordic rune symbol thing?
