Welcome to Fashwave General, your place for all things fashy and wavy.

This is a /comfy community/ to help us all build up a pro-western aesthetic. Constructive criticism IS appreciated. Just don't be needlessly destructive (if you're gonna say that something's not great, provide constructive tips on what to do about it.)

I have seen pictures of Ron Paul, who hardly show "fascist" ideals. Paul even borders on ancap. So what does this community support? The ideologies of the founding fathers?

what you don't get is that you can't step into the same river twice -anaximander.
the 'fascism' we're developing isn't really 'historical' fascism... it's a form of fascism that grows out of the american spirit having matured past the lies of liberalism.
it is it's own thing. it's the most advanced conception of human government and organization extant. it is the wisdom that there is no freedom without discipline - in the hearts and minds of a people that love freedom. the only true safeguard against tyranny is eternal vigilance, burning in our hearts.
america represents the soil on which Camelot can be built.
OG RWDS here. I've been seeing our stuff all throughout the board now more and more. very good.
just a reminder that clarity and aesthetic is more important than throwing a shit ton of non-meshing neon colors together with nazis.
Try and keep them clean, crisp and effective. Make sure the font is legible and the composition is geometrically sound.

No one here is a literal nazi, that's retarded. The nazis fought America in the end. You might regret WWII or whatever, but unless you're a literal cuck traitor you are proud of the victory that gave us unlimited hegimony over the West, and ashamed of how we squandered the sacrifices of our grandfathers. We are a fucking great country, the greatest in the world, and I truly believe that we have a unique mission on this earth. We are not Europe, we have transcended our heritage.
thanks, I like this

Very nice one

I think this one's my favorite, but I didn't make it
To further this answer, one of the biggest reasons i started this was to destigmatize right wing / reactionary beliefs.
The left has certain magic words, one of them being racist, but a particular one i dislike is when they use fascist. As many note it is a totally nebulous term at this point and almost never refers to historical Fascism, which came straight out of radical syndicalism / sorelian thought.
The point here is that most leftists denigrate the entire spectrum of right wing thought and beliefs with the magic word fascism. If we can basically make fascistic imagery and slogans 'cool' in their own way, we demistify it while also getting people used to the concept.
Many of us Americans probably lean more towards what our founding fathers created for us, but in order to achieve that, we must basically pull a pinochet in many respects. The principles of the limited, federal republic are quite nice and i support them 100%, but they cannot exist in a multicultural, multiracial, corporate owned, big government loving disaster that we live in now.
>You might regret WWII or whatever, but unless you're a literal cuck traitor you are proud of the victory that gave us unlimited hegimony over the West,
We did not win that war, only the (((they))) did. In every metric, but most importantly from a spiritual and cultural perspective, our people, the Anglo-Saxon founders of the nation, have bean beaten and spiritually disposessed and even physically disposessed in almost every way. We should simply have not entered that war.
makes me think we ought to include more depictions of modern terrorism (the bataclan pictures, etc.,) filtered through the aesthetic I think it would make a great juxtaposition.
Decimating Germany and leaving it to the Russians to rape and murder them when the war was over is nothing to be proud of. Ignoring facts and blindly being proud of something your country did just because it was your country that did it is nigger tier logic.
Do you think the Third Reich would have let shit skins into their country to rape their women and children while they live off welfare?
The wrong people one that war.
If you can change the quote's font and whatever effects you added?
it needs a better contrast along with its background
It sort of hurts the eye to try and read it

This is good too

Certainly, we were pushed into the war and shouldn't have let Britain and the socialists like FDR get us into that position. But when you are attacked, you defend your people. We needed to fight Japan, anyway. Saying that we could coexist with the Japanese empire is just wrong. The pacific empire has always been a cornerstone of American foreign policy as can be seen in the Open Door Notes of 1900. I think the legacy of WWII has been used in ways that have harmed us morally as a people, but the victory was necessary for our prosperity, and I would argue that the post-war world confirms that before (((they)) fucked it all up for us in the 60s.
this is a good example of not meshing the text with the composition. What's happening here is a dynamic, flowing text, right? like a text that simulates handwriting.
But what is it doing? It's columned down as if it were on a printing press using Arial or TNR. Look at things i've done for how to use flowing text like Streamster. This picture has great potential but that is a big flaw.
Another aspect is the blobular dirtiness. The original picture lends itself much better if it were done in a more clean, pastel manner, rather than a harsh, mixed up paint scheme.
This is all done in good heart and I hope we all improve ourselves in the forge of memes.
Remember, KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.
Here's the background if you want it, I probably wont change anything. It was my first attempt and sort of practice
>think the legacy of WWII has been used in ways that have harmed us morally as a people, but the victory was necessary for our prosperity, and I would argue that the post-war world confirms that before (((they)) fucked it all up for us in the 60s.
We should have destroyed the japs, certainly, but to destroy the one society that was antipodal to the entire project of 'liberal modernity' was a mistake. All the values that led us to win that war were subverted and manipulated.
>its just vaporwave with Sup Forums words
wow real original cool aesthetic

heidegger, out.
Thanks m8, fwg is so nice
I agree, some user posted the picture and I figured I could make it somehow
>This is all done in good heart and I hope we all improve ourselves in the forge of memes.
As always
CONSTANT IMPROVEMENT
yo i can't talk in the discord, halp
Link?
hello /comfy/ mates
oy!
Right, but the Nazis declared war with us when we went to fight the japs. That was their fault for allying with soulless chinks
America is tough. I want to do more but as mentioned all our heritage and good identity is with the Founders and liberty/democracy
Having trouble juxtaposing that imagery with fascist phrasing. I'm worried it comes off as satirical like those libs who think the Founders were just evil racists
>think the Founders were just evil racists
b-but that's why i love them, user
One more of mine from the last thread and I'm gonna get started on more OC
Everyone should check out Bowdens speech about WWII if you haven't. Interesting stuff.
"So, why has this event become so crucial? It’s become so crucial because it justifies the post-war aide. It justifies Western multiculturalism, it justifies Western multi-racialism, it justifies mass immigration by virtue of reverse. It justifies forms of liberal and attenuated European integration, because separate nationalism is a bad thing and we integrate to overcome the memory and legacy of things which have occurred. " - Jonathan Bowden
Nicely done, user. I don't really like most of these, but this one is proper. Thomas Cole is the spice. Pic related is one of mine

Quote is from the Great Awakening preacher Jonathan Edwards. His sermons are full of gems for this; nothing but fire and brimstone for those willing to embrace heresies and disgrace tradition.
Yeah thats a little gay
good phrasing on this one, futurism is great for this
Would be nice without the text IMO. Bit then I hate the text on 9/10 of these images so
...
Thanks man
Fair enough man, I can do a few without and see if the images tell the story.
>Fash
Worst neologism of the century, right here.
Well I guess I'll post this again since I was the last reply on that last thread.
I don't really get this community. You claim you want fascism, but show classic liberal icons like blind justice and 1776 (the day the Americas were freed from an authoritarian state). I have seen pictures of Ron Paul, who hardly show "fascist" ideals. Paul even borders on ancap. So what does this community support? The ideologies of the founding fathers? Or the ideologies of King, in which the founding fathers freed themselves from? Or maybe I'm just overthinking this, and this is just a bunch of fascist larpers? (And no, I am not a libertarian. I recognize the important of a central power)
most of the text is poorly done, i agree. unlike pic related, be more like that.

You haven't read the thread yet, m8
Normies dont get it and it sounds cool, its perfect.
love the quote, a but hard to read though
Also, i made your pic related
Awesome, your stuff keeps getting better and better.

I like it. What is the sculpture?
Subtlety goes a long way guys. The right-wing has grown and become more organized because leftist propaganda has lost all subtlety and the message is out in the open.
So what I'm saying is that you want to promote strength and love for family and love of country and Western aesthetics- but if you have overtly fascist lyrics and iconography you are going to close eyes, ears and hearts and make no progress except appealing to your pre-existing audience. If you want to expand your audience, you need to have a sympathetic character/performer that they can relate to. Somebody who embodies strength, while maintaining empathy, and perhaps sorrow for the decay of what he loves.
Thank you, I will check it out. I agree that the narrative built around the war has been nothing but damaging, but disagree that our victory inherently was
Maybe it's because three of my four grandparents fought (including one grandma)

i already got in contact with the rightwingdeathsquad company, besides them i don't know what else to do. i feel uncomfortable going to a printing store IRL and asking them to print my hate speech

Dude i'm so with you it hurts. The swastikas and black suns are a bit too overt. I do include fasces in almost everything because i want to normalize them, and they can be normalized in a way swazis cant.
thanks

here was another take I did quick last night, something to try and perfect at least
Thank you

Libertarian Fascism in the house.
the color scheme here is actually nice and consistent. but again it's too messy. let me upoad a pic related to show how the multiple layer aspect can be done without jarring the eyes
i love this one for whatever reason
Bougueureau was really skilled, too bad he mainly did garbage paintings for rich burgers
Nice quads, also nice symbol
tweet this one at trump, a lot
this is trash and I should feel bad
Absolutely this, our society is what it is today because of subtle messages. The easiest way to change it back it with similar subtlety, at least for now
why has fashwave done nothing with this man?
seriously the criticism I need, thank you. I'm having a hell of time learning the tools.
...
Good idea, weird execution, maybe do the heavy distortion thing only on a layer or two
awesome, i'll take a look, user
I feel like I'm beating on about this, but this is seriously why I suggest using pre-WWII sermons from America. All of the language you want and need is there, without anything that will immediately signal.
Hello new wallpaper
I'm really digging this stuff guys. I lurk in these threads every now and then.
I don't think what we define as fascism is the typical shit the left does.
When I think of fascism I think of a slightly more authoritarian and nationalist society that places value on morals and western ideals. Not a totalitarian regime or anything.
we are huge pussies, is why
we are making faggy memes
i made a whole list of suggested phrases that are perfect, any more would be great
>take back our future
>nature will destroy you
etc.
>When I think of fascism I think of a slightly more authoritarian and nationalist society that places value on morals and western ideals. Not a totalitarian regime or anything.
That's pretty much what i have in mind. Literally 1 / 50 people who use the word Fascism know anything about it as a historical entity stemming from god damned radical syndicalism and thus, marxism
great answer.
>it's the most advanced conception of human government and organization extant.
ive always believed this is possible. We are at the forefront of technology and theres no reason to believe we cant create an entirely new and ultra efficient society. A beautiful one.
Sorry m8. Doing some other shit too. Had to eat
Shiiiet. I thought this was just a bunch of literal "historical" fascists posting cool pics. Thats why I never really read thru a thread before. So basically, its desensitizing liberal use of the term fascist? Cool idea, but some of these images seem like they represent historical fascism, not the modern use of the term. Sorry that I'm slow at posting, I have mainly lurked for years on here
I love the neon 80s theme. Been into for years because of pic related
