>tfw you realize after all this time that it's democrats and liberals that are the real fascists
Basic Tenets of Fascism:
>"Nothing against the state". Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong.
Democrats: You don't want to sell a cake to a gay couple because of your religion? We're going to tell you you have to or close your business.
Democrats: You don't want to perform gay marriage in your church because your religious beliefs don't agree with it? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/church.
Democrats: Don't want to pay for contraception/abortions for your employees because your deeply-held religious beliefs disagree with the murder of unborn children? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/charity.
>"Everything in the state". The Government is supreme. Democrats: Bigger government, more control of individual lives, more taxation. We can spend your money better than you can.
Democrats: Don't want/need to buy this product? We'll force you to buy it or we'll penalize you a few hundred/thousand dollars every year until you do.
Republicans: Smaller government, states rights, less taxation.
How do you explain this, lefties? Why do you use the label "fascist" to slander republicans when it seems it lines up more with your own ideology?
Wow, that's a very skewed view you have. Also a couple of those things are factually wrong (like no one is forcing churches who don't want to perform gay marriage to do so).
It's okay to fight bigotry and intolerance, doing so doesn't make you intolerant.
Christopher Peterson
So it's ok to be fascist if you claim it's "fighting bigotry and intolerance"? Isn't that what the nazis said? How do you explain forcing your agenda on everyone else and quelling any dissenting opinions with physical violence, riots, punching people in the face, and pepper-spraying them when they voice their opinion (Berkeley for example)?
I laid out my position quite easily in OP. Are you saying liberals can't be fascist when they contain 9 out of 10 characteristics (and the1 they don't posess is simply "hurr durr has to be right wing"?) Doesn't make sense at all and it's a cop out honestly.
If I've got a shoe with every component except laces, it's still a fucking shoe, idiot. The only shill is you.
Logan Baker
You've got enough strawmen there to keep a whole farm bird free.
I'm not forcing my agenda on anyone. And it's a load of bullshit to claim that all our protests are violent. Sorry if a fringe decides to get carried away (or even infiltrated, that happens too), but that is certainly not the method of the majority.
It's okay to punch Nazis, seriously those guys aren't up for having a good faith debate, they just want to shit over everyone. They're going to make shit up against us anyway, might as well give them a black eye to whine about about.
By the way, the pepper spraying was done to liberals, not by them.

>it's okay to punch nazis, they don't want a good debate
Only I'm looking for facts right now in a good debate. Seems you're just calling anyone who disagrees with you a "nazi" to automatically justify punching them in the face (using violence to quiet a dissenting opinion).
>the pepper spray was done to liberals not by them
Oh the girl assaulted on camera was a liberal? The facts are not on your side but keep making things up, pal.
Grayson Ortiz
It's probably poorly stated, but you *do* have a right to disagree with facts if you have evidence that suggests said facts are not correct.
Just because something is considered a 'fact' by most of the population doesn't mean it can't be disproven, but disproving something many people believe requires a lot of solid evidence.

Democrats: You don't want to sell a cake to a gay couple because of your religion? We're going to tell you you have to or close your business.
This is discrimination, a little different, I see where you're coming from here. No religion prohibits you from completely interacting with homosexuals, so deciding to not sell something to someone based on what they do in the privacy of their own home is peetty at best, but is it ethical for a government to restrict this? The answer is not clear.
Democrats: You don't want to perform gay marriage in your church because your religious beliefs don't agree with it? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/church.
There are people who have tried to sue for this, but this is nothing that any notable figures are pushing for, you have to be weary of this "loud minority" that media likes to focus on. Like pretending that all Trump voters are uneducated hicks, or that all Hillary voters are fat sjw's. It's just not that simple, and a tactic that media uses to de-legitimatize any political opponents.
Democrats: Don't want to pay for contraception/abortions for your employees because your deeply-held religious beliefs disagree with the murder of unborn children? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/charity.
I would say this is a much more complex issue. Imagine that this is a company who is against vaccines or gmo's and refused to pay for something simple like a flu shot for your children. This last part is pure speculation, but I feel like a lot of this times when this comes up it's more about not wanting to spend money than having any moral obligations against the specific problems.
Owen Reyes
This is now a bear jew thread. 1. Both political parties are corrupt. Don't forget what the DNCdid during the election, but at least they aren't led by a narcissistic fuck who is setting this country up for failure.
2. Punching Nazi's is always okay. Doesn't anyone remember this from Indiana Jones?

>"Everything in the state". The Government is supreme. Democrats: Bigger government, more control of individual lives, more taxation. We can spend your money better than you can.
Democrats: Don't want/need to buy this product? We'll force you to buy it or we'll penalize you a few hundred/thousand dollars every year until you do.
Republicans: Smaller government, states rights, less taxation.
If you were saying conservative vs modern dems or reps, then yes, I'd agree. But right now Democrats accept that fact that they want a bigger government, while republicans say they are in favor of a smaller government, unless it's against their personal views, (abortion, drugs, gay marriage).
At the same time, I do see where you're coming from. Correct me if I'm wrong, but fascism is when one (small) party is in control and has extreme rule over it's people. The U.S. would be more Populist unless I'm mistaken on definitions.
And I still think it's unfair to compare the U.S. to a fascist government, under the rule of either Trump, or Hillary. The biggest thing I think people need to realize is that no matter what, you will always be under the rule of someone. And I would rather have one like the U.S. where it's an elected body with the interest of the people, rather than one where the group with the most people and biggest guns and do what they want because they can crush all opposition.

Let's get a movement going, Sup Forums. Let's infiltrate the ANTIFA terrorists and fuck their shit up from the inside. Their childish, destructive tantrums have gone on too long. They are extremists in every sense of the word, wanting to shut down free speech they don't agree with, and murder anybody that doesn't follow their agenda. We need boots on the ground to start taking part in their clusterfuckery and attack their members from within. Law enforcement won't do anything against these faggots, so it's up to us. LET'S RESTORE ORDER TO AMERICA!

Wow, you want to cherry pick a few cases and apply that to the entire group. I may be liberal, but that's not something I do. Everyone's got their extremists. If all you can see is the extremists, then you'll never understand the main position of the group.

In the UC Davis case (I don't know which case you're referring to), it was the police who pepper sprayed a bunch of Occupy protesters who were peacefully sitting down.

>I don't know which case you're talking about
The girl at Berkeley who was assaulted 2 days ago with pepper spray for simply talking to a news reporter. Are you trying to play stupid now or are you really this misinformed? Also you can't equate police using riot tactics to stop actual riots to a civilian man assaulting a civilian woman for having a different opinion.
James Mitchell
>I posted 10 instances, how is that cherry-picking exactly?
There are 320 million people in the US. Presumably that means 160 million liberals (although stats indicate more).
Your sample size of ten incidents, with no controls, no standards and a transparently common narrative cannot tell us anything of value about liberals.
Noah Phillips
You know what I love is that I see all of this controlled speech bullshit as a direct result of the US education system. Im in my twenties and I remember when I was in school in the 90's bullying was an extreme issue that people were looking for ways to address. This was the peak of participation trophies, varying degrees of special education, integration programs, and if a school board picture didn't have at least 4 races shown with both men and women it was deemed unfit for children's eyes because it might give the wrong impression. We were all taught that words have power, and what we say affects other people. We were all taught that calling someone names can hurt just as much as getting their ass kicked.
I want to say that in the initial stages that it worked. There was a decrease in Bullying and related suicides (I'm too lazy to look for a citation, fuck you. This isn't a peer reviewed journal). I think were it went wrong was with the parents who got super into into this and wouldn't let anything happen to their precious snow flakes. I remember seeing these parents storming around school when I was young, complaining about violent recess conditions (Swear to fucking god), or no left handed scissors for their unique little child. Teachers had to bend to this, because no teacher will ever be able to get away with saying, "I think your kid needs to be toughened up." or, "I think your kid is too shy/awkward/loud/aggressive/etc." instead we all got newly diagnosed disorders, and regulations for special treatment.
The hyper liberal speech controlling protesters are just a logical conclusion of this teaching. Young kids are impressionable. Our first decade or so strongly informs our outlook. I can't overstate how severely implemented this control of speech was integrated into schools. I honestly feel pretty lucky. I went through the earlier iterations of the speech control, but the culture was solidified for the college age kids we see now.
Samuel Taylor
>your sample size with no standards
They're all clearly anti-Trump assaults on civilians. I don't think you have half a clue what you're talking about. The majority of Americans support the stuff he's doing, so I fear you may have just pulled your "stats" out of your ass like every other liberal usually does.
57% of Americans approve of the temporary immigration ban
Quit trying to push some narrative that the liberal mindset is some normal thing. It's not. Liberalism is dead.
Lincoln Nguyen
>Liberalism is ded Lol try again faggot. The democratic party is dead. The majority of us who are liberal have at least one major issue with the current democratic party.

Noah Butler
>They're all clearly anti-Trump assaults on civilians.
That are not representative of the bigger picture. You cannot prove that the protests of 160 to 1.5 million people are violent by pointing out the violent actions of less than 20.
I never defended "liberalism" from your failed understanding of statistics and objective proof because I don't have to, anyone with two brain cells could see you're a shill.
You keep saying "statistics" and "objective proof" when I'm the only one who's actually posted either one in this thread. You have no facts to support your position, just hot air.
When the nazis (favorite buzzword of the left) were doing their thing, you faggots love to blame the germans who stood by and did nothing as being "just as guilty." So tell me, fuck-o. Show me any source where the "peaceful protesters" have stood up and stopped this imaginary "minority" that you keep referencing. Where have the "peaceful liberals" stood up and stopped them from setting shit on fire or destroying property? Show me evidence to support your claim or shut the fuck up.

Fascism is not a certain policy direction. Fascism is not right or left. Fascism is a style of communication - a mood. Fascism is visceral and angry. This country has been flirting with fascism for a long time. Rush Limbaugh with his bombastic lie telling, scapegoating, and chest pounding Americanism is very much a fascist. Fox News? Joseph Goebbels would look at Fox News in awe at how completely they have realized his fascistic vision. One thing I am certain of; if you think Trump is not a fascist - you don't don't understand fascism - not at all.
So it's not like the Trump and his fascism have appeared out of thin air. The conservatism of Ronald Reagan is dead as a political force and is replaced with fascism. Quit running from it, quit calling yourselves conservatives. Own your radicalism, unfurl your freak flags and give your fascist salutes to El Duce Trump. And prepare to lose in November because there still is a sane majority out here that perseveres.
And spare me the tripe about fascism being a leftist or socialist ideology, or about state ownership. If you think that you need to turn off Beck pick up a few books by Paxton and Eco.
Jonathan Ramirez
Fascism is by definition militaristic, so liberals and and democrats really aren't fascists.
Their intolerance of criticism and willingness to suppress or shout down dissenting opinion does make arch liberalism a form of totalitarianism though.

They're the stupidest, and the most outspoken, and as a result you've based your opinion of the left on the retarded minority.
William Johnson
The term fascist is used too much. Both Dems and GOP are shit stains and corrupt. Both left/right people just have confirmation bias and call anyone names who disagrees with narrative provided for you.

Hudson Campbell
I say we just embrace it and become the fascists liberals make us out to be.
Advantages: >Place liberals into gas chambers >Shoot liberals >bomb campuses >Round up and deport the jews >Round up and deport the blacks >place liberals in rape-camps just like ISIS would have.
Disadvantages: >No asian waifus :C >Liberals will whine and piss slightly louder than they do now >Jews will try and use central banks to destroy the country.
I suppose we could just continue with our current trend of nationalism, but really, when it comes down to it liberals will accuse us of extreme fascism if we disagree with them in anyway for any reason.
Why not pull out all the stops and just go for it? Infiltrate an AntiFa black block and start quietly stabbing them to death.
For Right Wing Death Squads and kick in the doors of known activists and execute them.
I mean, if we're gonna get accused of being extremist fascists, we'd might as well deserve it, right?
It's not like they'll call us anything else, they're like broken records, or retarded children, that are incapable of critical or creative thought.
I tried to talk to one the other day and all of his arguments devolved into "true communism has never been tried" as if that some how justified his violent rhetoric.
I'm not even sure liberals count as human at this point, you have to be able to analyze the world around you to be sapient.

its the methods the left uses, user. put simply people are to afraid to stand up for themselves in this tough world so they want the government to do it for them. they are terrified and have absolutely no way to defend themselves. they need daddy to tell them everything is ok and they'll be taken care of. when people get together wearing masks to destroy things, the rest of us know they are cowards. they won't show their face because they are scared of what they've become. the very thing they think they are fighting against. its cowardly.
Leo Walker
How's about option c?
>There's room for improvement in the fields of law enforcement and gun control.

to piggy back on that a little further, no one wants to pay for people who whine and destroy things when they don't get their way. we teach our children this is wrong because it raises spoiled little cowards. i personally love it when people rioting in the streets get a baton over the face. i LOVE the look on their faces when the cops grab them. they scream and cry like they don't understand why they are being arrested. its the ultimate life lesson and you really see it captured on the look in their eyes and the way their voices crack as they are being dragged away. you call it fascism. the rest of us call it order and there is nothing a limp wristed liberal can do to stop order.

I have a lot of hope for my generation. We aren't all idiots, but right now the regressives are the most vocal. There aren't enough people who are relatively moderate speaking up. That needs to change or we are doomed to be grouped in with the butthurt rhetoric.
For now let the regressive lemmings jump off a cliff of their own making.
