Wish there was common nomenclature for referring to posters or parts of a comment to make the context clearer. Friends say I am on the spectrum but the Psychologist said that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Like, OP1 is lame, OP2 supports genocide, etc. to clarify within a thread without having to quote or @ which I find a bit clumsy and generally gets in the way of flow.
I’ll clarify, I’m just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.
So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don’t demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.
Why would a Jew choose to live in the West Bank when there’s a much more pleasant country next door offering them citizenship? Your analogy is so flawed I have a hard time thinking you’re making it in good faith.
Well, according to your own words, Israel is a fascist state, hunting down Arab minorities. I have shown an example how a representative of an Arab minority has held an extremely high rank in Israel society, and I believe this fact undermines your claim, hence Israel is not a fascist state.
Friendly reminder that a defining characteristic of a fascist is drawing hard in-group out-group lines.
(And another is the fetishization and glorification of violence against the out-group)
Wait, I’m even more confused. Are you saying the OP who posted is creating the demarcations for groups?
The person who I am directly replying to.
But make no mistake, Israel is also fascist af.

This sounds like a great idea!

The irony of this post after looking at your comment history honestly hurts. Thumbs up though!! Much liked.
For sure I think Nazis and Tankies are both gross, and I have a kind of out-group bias against them, but I never advocate for violence against them.
Except maybe punching Nazis, but nothing serious damaging or life threatening.
Pretty non fascist to my understanding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Karra
Ah yes, the “I have a black friend” defense.
I have Jewish friends, so I trust you won’t call me antisemitic for saying Israel is structurally racist and authoritarian.
If you have a Jewish friends then you really aren’t anti semitic are you?
Such a smooth brain comment.
Not to mention a huge amount of Israelis themselves criticise the current government and what it’s done.
I thought it was pretty obvious I was being ironic, but I guess not.
Your comment was indistinguishable from the kind of stupid people that genuinely mean the same thing.
I just shown you a highly placed Arab state worker. show me a Jewish in West Bank, mind you?

I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else.
Wasn’t Hitlers physician at one point a Jewish person? I don’t think one example is really all that telling.
Lol
“Only a sith deals in absolutes!”
That sounds like an “absolute” statement to me!
Would that still count if it’s “In group = civilians” " out group = organizations killing civilians"?
Like you’re doing? Doing it using passive language does not make you better.
Friendly reminder.
My mind is open to considering this. Where is the line I’m drawing, which is the in-group and which is the out-group?
