The loud and proud fascists want shit like mass deportations.

Keeping the expendable labor violently repressed is literally one of the main “services” fascism renders to the liberal (ie, capitalist) order. What did you think all this “immigrant” hysteria was really all about?

No, they don’t want deportations - that’s just what they tell the rank-and-file goons in order to get them to do the dirty work. They want all the expendable labour appropriately terrorized, under constant threat of state brutality and violently prevented from integrating with US society. Ie, it’s literally as old as the Book Of Exodus.

So no. This is good for business. And the Reagen-fascists knows this as well as the Trump-fascists do. It’s just the vile way in which capitalism has always used fascism to further it’s own ends.

old guard Reaganite Republicans

So, the non-overt fascists?

With the rise of overt fascism in the US,

FTFY.

the will to kill and immunity from their actions.

That’s what they’ve ALWAYS been.

There’s a good reason leftists say, “Fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost.”

What they have been doing in the rest of the world they will be doing to YOU sooner or later, and no amount of “voting harder” is going to stop that from coming to pass.

You don’t get to decide that. It’s inevitable. The only thing you get to decide is what YOU will be doing about that.

The left is such a small population in the US, it’s irrelevant.

And yet this “irrelevant” left managed to beat the far-right off the streets despite the far-right enjoying the support and protection of the police, not to mention luxurious funding. You don’t have to believe me, you can hear it from a Neo-Nazi himself.

It’s almost like… if you were to stop paying attention to the liberal gaslighting you might realize the answer was right in front of you all this time.

I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil.

Firstly, undestanding what left actually is would be a good start. You’re not talking about the left. You’re talking about liberals. Liberalism isn’t left. Liberalism is right-wing, and always have been.

The actual left is very happy to be “uncivil.”

Secondly, a good second step would be to finally accept that liberals, and liberalism in general, has never, and will never, oppose fascism.

Those are two very basic things you can do right now.

“belongs to the USA, and as we all know, this horrendous and hypocritical government supports the genocide that is being carried out by the terrorist state of ‘Israel.'”

Now that’s a false-flag if I ever saw one. Out of all the sites of arms manufacturers, funding operations and troll-farms that directly support Israel, these creeps attack… the Internet Archive?

Tell me another one.

I want to say the government of Israel and not lump all Israelis

Why?

Is there an aspect of this genocidal white supremacist colonialist project that you identify with?

Sorry I didn’t give a full dissertation to cover every aspect in a fully contextualized exhaustive indexed peer-reviewed comment.

You don’t have to. That’s why we say, “Fuck Israel.”

This is not uplifting news.

It would have been uplifting if he had been hanged while his ill-gotten assets were being redistributed democratically.

because a lot of us are against the continued arming of them.

And? It’s only because of the Oct 7th operation that most of you even know about any of this. The US government has been supporting this vile little white supremacist project since the 70s, and you “voting harder” isn’t going to change that.

Fuck Israel. Fuck the US, too.

You don’t have to be your government, you know.

Fuck The Government of Israel.

Fixed that for you.

It’s not fun in 2024 because, thanks to the internet, we now have mountains of evidence at our fingertips to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what they really are and always have been - ie, what the leftists have been trying to tell us since forever.

I generally agree with your post, but I’d say one correction is in order here.

Remember Stan Lee was in the military when it was antifascist pretending to be antifascist in order to wage war on colonialist rivals.

The US military has never been antifascist.

gives an escape to readers to fantasize about themselves as the hero?

Your “escapist” fantasy is to be rich, dress up in tacticool BDSM-gear and be allowed to beat up working class people?

Yes, comic books are propaganda, and the super-creep variety has always had the smell of Objectivism to it.

It’s certainly worked on you.

and Batman is a fascist by then.

I’d say that Batman is fundamentally fascist. He wages war on the working class so that crime can be preserved as an activity reserved for the class Bruce Wayne represents - the capitalist one.

They won’t.

It’s like MLK said - the white liberal will always prefer “a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”

That’s the whole reason they didn’t bat an eyelid when Neo-Nazis and KKK-boys were marching under open police protection back in 2016 but collectively lost their shit when antifa showed up to physically confront them.

Are people ready to admit that characters like Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne has always served to propagandize the idea of “genius millionaire/billlionaire” capitalists despite the fact that no such thing has ever existed in reality?

And that this propaganda is partly the reason why parasitic fraudster racketeers like Musk, Gates and Bezos gets to get away with their gargantuan crimes against humanity?

No?

Oh, so it turns out that “genius billionaires” only exist in comic books?

Nobody could have seen that one coming!

Nah, I don’t really think I want to play a Nazi simulator. Besides, there’s already something akin to that out there. It’s Call Of Duty.
