I gotchu. I wouldn’t say this administration is explicitly neo-Nazi, but it 100% is fascistic. I’ve done a good amount of studying on fascism and authoritarianism, so it’ll take me a few minutes to elaborate on the subjec because I’ll have to sum up fascism and then make the connections to this current administration.
i know what fascism is, it’s essentially my way or the highway, which if you actually knew what that was or what it looked like you would not push that narrative on a movement that is clearly not that, in fact it is more likely to hear you out for a differing opinion than any democratic movement.
1) Fascism has no hard-set definition since past fascist regimes have their differences, but they do share a lot of characteristics. It’s conceptually difficult to define, but fascist regimes commonly represent a highly militaristic and hyper nationalistic form of rule. Fascist regimes are commonly mobilized through the public through mass political parties and their glorification of a heroic leader, and are born in during turbulent periods and crises. For example, ‘Dolf and Benito’s regimes
2) rose to power by exploiting a volatile political environment where the political-left had been gaining traction. Fascist regimes also arise in capitalist societies that have experienced social alienation, resulting from the rigors of economic individualism. That is my general “definition” of fascism. Now let me take a few minutes to connect the dots for you.
Most people don’t really know what fascism is. Liberals have a general idea, but they can never adequately explain what a fascist regime looks like and toss the words “fascist” and “Nazi” willy nilly. MAGA “conservatives” at this point are fascist. They either know that they’re fascist and won’t admit it, or they know that they’re fascist and will.
3) Let’s connect the dots, since clearly you can’t. The United States is already incredibly militaristic and nationalistic. We paste the American flag everywhere and spend a huge amount of budget and attention towards or military. We have two incredibly capitalist parties, both being right-wing on the global political spectrum. As of recent years, Trump has cultivated an incredibly strong following after the Democrat’s political domination. Since the Republicans needed a step up, they invested a
4) lot of attention and resources to lift Trump up as this bombastic heroic leader. In these recent years, there have been a lot of bad attitude towards Democrats, coming from both within the party and from the rising MAGA movement, which has created a volatile political environment. The different ideologies within the Democrat party and the strong, cult-like following of the Republican Party create a perfect environment where fascists can force their way through the government.
on top of that you’ve decided to talk down to me, although you have no idea who I am i have not done such to you, and yet you’re still using pointless blabbering to backup a point you literally can’t because it’s not true, you have no idea what you’re talking about clearly, can you even vote?
Fascism was simply the authoritarian italian regime allied with nazis in ww2. When Italy switched sides in ww2 the downfall of the fascist regime had already happened. They also persecuted jews btw. Many negative things could be said about trump but labeling him with names from groups of ppl that actually hate him is just stupid and nonsense.
Democrats create a victim cycle that allows people to be citizens that are not contributing to society, that promote the slander of the President, they push out false propaganda with no accountability, and you want to call republicans “cult-like” liberals are the most cultish people i’ve ever met, you would rather go by zir/ze or whatever the fuck than just accept the fact that the democrats are doing nothing but hurting you and putting money in their pockets
(side reply) Except Democrats aren’t cult-like, and that why they’re weak right now. The Democratic Party is backed by several different clashing ideologies that can’t get a lot with each other. Half the party is composed of Liberals, who are capitalist, and the other half being Democratic Socialists, Socialists, Leftists, and Communists, which are all Marxist ideologies. The Party is literally made up of a right-wing ideologies and several smaller left-wing ideologies.
5) Alright, let’s continue. Btw, you asked for me to not make bullshit assumptions, which I haven’t. I’ve provided you a simple definition of fascism and I am currently having to connect the dots for you. The Trump administration has several ties to Nazi-entities, such as the infamous Project 2025 and other fascist individuals like Stephen Miller. Trump denounced Project 2025 and claimed to have no connection to the Heritage Foundation during his campaign, yet his staff and P25 share the same
here you go again insulting another person you don’t know, you must think you are really smart, i’m here to tell you, you have your thoughts a little off track, you are also defaming the president of the united states, in other countries they would stone you to death for shit like that, so be damn happy you were born in america that’s all i have to say
that’s where you are wrong because I was never playing a game. I was simply trying to see if anyone was educated enough to know that there is no neo Nazi regime fascist regime happening under Trump’s leadership and you my friend are clearly a person who does not think for themselves, and that is a loss in itself.
I think you’re taking the “neo nazi” thing a bit too literal. They’re comparing this current regime to the nazi regime, not a hate for nazis. MAGA is celebrating the arming of ice and the deployment of national guard to tons and tons of cities. Palantir has moved its way into every department. Online ID is making its grounds in Europe, and soon here (GTA 6) were slowly becoming a police state. Israeli elites want to buy tiktok, trump is helping that play out
Trump has repeatedly and publicly distanced himself from Project 2025. In July 2024, he posted: “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.” His campaign has consistently stated that “Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign” and that Trump had “nothing to do with the campaign.”
While it’s true that many former Trump officials contributed to Project 2025 (the Heritage Foundation created it with input from conservative groups), and while Trump has implemented some policies that overlap with conservative priorities outlined in it, that doesn’t mean he authored it or endorses everything in it.
The U.S. has continued to function as a constitutional republic with democratic elections, peaceful transfers of power, an independent judiciary, free press, and robust political opposition throughout Trump’s presidency and beyond. I’d encourage looking at the actual policy proposals in Project 2025 and forming your own opinion rather than accepting inflammatory characterizations from either side.
Not you ignoring the swastika in Dave Taylor’s office, you know, the one that #9 sent and you downvoted? Not you saying Trump isn’t part of Project 2025 and then defending the playbook with your life after I sent you the news report of him endorsing Project 2025. Not you not having an actual defense for anything in this comment section 🤯🤯🤯
It’s okay, you’re showing the mental gymnastics magats perform in real time. Again, went from “twump isn’t part of P25!!!” to “heh, I actually like P25.” It’s the same shit with the fucking tariffs. The Republicans hated tariffs and pummeled any tariff proposal at any given chance until Trump opened his mouth about them. Anything Trump says, you follow.
Mind you, HISTORICALLY tariffs have never worked out for us. After the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act worsened the Great Depression, literally every US political has opposed tariffs. Even Ronald Reagan. Pretty much every politician, especially republicans, opposed tariffs until Trump said he was gonna implement them. I’ve had to pay more for my imported shit because of the tariffs, and I guarantee you haven’t gained a single thing from these tariffs.
1) youve asked for someone to prove how its neo-nazi or fascist, saying you know what fascism looks like. all youve said about it? "its my way or the highway." theyre trying to prove something to you in which you refuse to define. its an impossible task. 2) trump "denounced" project 2025 and "distanced" himself from it during his campaign. smart move. in 10 months, project 2025 is 48% to completion. this admin is full of heritage foundation people, p2025 authors, and friends.
idek why i said what i said. theyre literally both. they are sympathizers and apologists. "i love hitler?" no problemo. "your german ancestors werent bad?" thats our guy! "i have a nazi streak in me?" nominate him asap. "get the gas chambers ready?" thats just a 35 year old minor child, dont mind him
Like they’re calling the majority of people nazis. These people are all around you. If they were actually nazis, yall would be dead rn. If trump was actually a fascist or a king, yall wouldn’t be able to say this. I get the dude isn’t perfect, but this is insane. But no, democrats are absolutely pristine.
1, maga isn’t even a majority and a chunk of people have dissented from Trump. 2, we are still in the early stages of a fascist regime and they are still following the footsteps of previous ones. 3, Democrats are absolutely not pristine and there’s an insane amount of infighting between liberals, socialists, democratic socialists, leftists, left libertarians, and communists. Half the party is right-wing (liberals) and they have to share the party with a bunch of smaller left-wing ideologies.
Except it’s not. Liberals are capitalist and vastly different than the other actually left-wing ideologies I listed. On the US political spectrum, liberals are left. On the global political spectrum, liberals are center-right. You can easily look this information up, it only takes on Google search. Our government and the way our politics run would never let anything other than capitalists to take lead.
Looking this up is like searching on google "what is my favorite color?" This makes no sense as it is all a matter of perspective. I come from Brazil which is a very well known leftist country, and I'm telling you, not even there would liberals be considered right wing. You don't need to be a communist extremist to be considered leftist.
Again, liberals are capitalist. Capitalism is generally a right-wing ideology. US politics have always been set on the right, because we are incredibly capitalist and capitalist entities run our government. They would never let an actual left-wing person take lead, because they are a threat to capitalism. In Brazil, liberals may not be right, but in other parts of the world, they are. Btw, Leftism is its own ideology.
He is most definitely the majority, and I don’t think that’s true. I think people that voted for trump are mostly happy with what he’s done so far. I personally thought that he’d be going way faster at deporting illegal immigrants. I think he cares too much about optics. I don’t care, call liberals capitalist whatever title, doesn’t matter. I just don’t understand how people seriously think this current administration is a “fascist regime.” I know you specifically didn’t call them Nazis, op did.
I do know history. I have numerous books on fascism and authoritarianism and have extensively studied the subjects. Youre using the word “fascist” and “Nazi” as if they’re interchangeable, which they aren’t in all cases. Nazis are fascists, fascists are not Nazis. Fascist is an umbrella term.
fascism: "simply the authoritarian italian regime allied with nazis" not really a definition, just an instance. facism: "was also antisemite" uh ok. fascism: "was an italian authoritarian regime allied with nazis, and they were also antisemites" same thing, an instance golly im having a hard time with this "definition" youve given
you have no right to say anyone is a "weak debater" when your "debating" is just literally saying nuh uh and denying anything that is said. i could ask you to define what an apple is and youd say it was a three dimensional object. i could ask you what a mammal was and youd say it has a tongue. like yea, but that applies to like a trillion other things that are entirely distinct
Not rlly a gotcha, it's just literally all you've been doing. There is the fascist ideology, and there is the nazi ideology, the same way there was the fascist party and the nazi party. Saying nazism is a type of fascism is nonsense unless you want to pick your own definition of things that happened in history. Fascism was born from the National Fascist Party while nazism was born from the National Socialist German Workers' Party. Not rocket science. Similar, but different.
Antisemitism is a major pillar of the ideology of the Nazi Party, which is a specific form of fascism. Antisemitism is NOT a defining feature of ALL the fascist regimes that have existed. For the hundredth time, you’re using Nazism and fascism as if they’re interchangeable. If you don’t believe in books, or even Google, where are you getting your info? Up your ass?
“Antisemitism is central to the ideology of Nazism, a specific form of fascism, but is not a defining or necessary feature of fascism in all its forms. Historically fascist movements, such as the original one in Italy, were not inherently antisemetic, while others were.” Here’s your L.
