Surely not. We have the right to assemble and protest right?
Not like there are examples of police beating the fuck out of unarmed students, or watching armed citizens attack other citizens and doing nothing about it. That would be a fascist police state, now wouldn't it?
Remember, rights you feel uneasy exercising are rights you don't have. Flip-off a cop, tell them to go fuck themselves, call them a pig, it's every American citizen's right to do so.
So now that you've thought about that, do you have those rights? Or no?
There simply weren't enough protestors. We let the students take the fall for the rest of us. The law is never gonna change itself.
I feel like I could, but I'm not an asshole and normally don't shout obscenities to people doing their job. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?
It's not about being an asshole.
It's about verifying that those rights exist.
When we first think, "I would be able to exercise that right in theory, but it would be rude," that tells me that as the oppessor all I need to do is convince people that being rude is worse than being free.
Not everyone is suited to challenge authority, but if no one feels safe doing so then the dominoes of fascism have already begun to fall.
The least we can do is film, document, report, and support those who make the challenge.
Of course not. We are already there with the illusion of liberties, if privileged enough.
It's like a slow moving tide. People keep asking if there's going to be a flood while walking around in waist deep water.
Implying that it's not fascist already with the state cracking down on protesters against genocide
at what point did the germans realize germany was fascist
The term fascism stems from that period, from the Italian Fascist Party. It just was a slow roll during the Weimar Republic, in which violence and politics became more and more entangled until they were indistinguishable from each other.
There of course were a lot of people standing up against fascism and nazism, but it wasn't unilaterally seen as something really bad until after the second world war.
Yeah. And Democrats in the house are voting for it.
And Republicans everywhere are leading it.
The party currently in power who are funding a genocide right now and cracking down on protesters are leading the way to fascism just the same. Them pinkwashing it with rhetoric doesn't change that.
And that doesn't make my statement any less true.
You're in the pot, the water is rapidly boiling. You're not headed towards, you're in it.
Yes.
No. If I'm already at home, I'm not headed towards home.
I'd argue that we're only fash-curious right now. The real fascism will be far worse.
Where have you been?
President ~~McCarthy~~ Biden wouldn't just let that happen...
Before jumping into a new (to me) YouTube creator's videos, I need a few people to please describe them and any b.s. in their presentation of information one should be aware of when watching their videos?
This guy's videos are usually pretty good. They got a quick pace, good editing, and explain things really well. They are a socialist so they have a bias in that way, but they'd be the first to admit it and to say that every creator has a bias of some sort or another.
Appreciate it! Anyone else agree or disagree with the take?
I'd agree, I'm apparently subscribed lol. I only subscribe after seeing multiple videos that I like.
Second Thought is the channel name (for the people who were searching for it in the comments like I was)

No, more like simping for fascism.
Wasn't this guy caught grifting his fans for donos? Oh and he likes reviewing supercars with his buddy on their other channel. And none of his vids are substantiated with anything
