Hello academic #hivemind - especially colleagues in #sociology and #politics - this is outside my field so pointers to foundational texts and current debates both welcome - and my apologies because this will be a lively toot.

Where can I find the best critical, empirically grounded debates on the definition of #fascism?

Please boost and fold in anyone who might have a well-honed contribution...

Any masked person with or without a gun, or a group of such, without i.d. or a legal warrant, attempting to apprehend any human in #mairikkka, citizen or otherwise, should be considered a kidnapping or terrorist event, and repulsed accordingly.

Anyone know about #2a?

Americans already have an affinity for self defence.

It would be really nice if the Democrats found some leadership that opposes school shootings and supporting the zionist genocidal state of israel murdering Palestinians.

Too much?
Too soon?

Also, maybe some 1% guillotine-avoidance economic policies:

25% wealth tax/year, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m!

I think we need to organize, mobilize, protest and occupy the streets to get rid of fascists.

Then more activist action when that isn't enough.

I think the time has passed for us to point out their hypocrisy. We've been doing it about #MAGA for 10 years now. They revel in how it annoys us. They think we're cucks.

We know they're irrational. They don't care. They don't think like us. Get. In. The. Streets.

Plan Civil War 2.0, unless you know past fascists who left non-violently? Know anyone in the military?

@georgetakei#Gleichschaltung live to witness, no doubt about that. And just like with β€žMein Kampfβ€œ, the road to #fascism was available in print beforehand with β€žProject 2025β€œ.
There is no excuse to act surprised now!

Yeah, 54% of American adults read at the grade 6 level or lower.

Many of them are elected officials now.

This affects critical thinking, moral philosophy, and media analysis skills.

Thanks Reagan.

@georgetakei Sorry you experienced that. I will make the argument that American #fascism never left, it just fell out of favor post-WWII.

My people, I honestly don't know what you're waiting for?

What kind of furrrrther line must he cross before you realize your president is a fascist?

A concentration camp in El Salvador?

Auschwitz also wasn't in Germany.

The lists of his totalitarian actions are already so long.

He scoffs at your protests, and the courts.

You can't pray this motherfucker away. Do you know how we got rid of every fascist in the past? πŸ€”

@georgetakei Not in a democracy. It's about fighting against #fascism.
Third Reich Nazis were the first industrialising #genocide. These Americans with their #TESCREAL ideology and #eugenics ideas learnt from history: Industrialising makes you cold-hearted enough to do it. https://worldwidewalkies.blog/2021/03/17/auschwitz-poland-the-industrialisation-of-genocide/ It's part of fascism.

Perhaps it's time to learn from the #resistance and #resist?!
