So.. through these digital "social media" bottlenecks, too much context is lost. It seems like what you might be getting at, is that "bigotry breeds bigotry". Am I on the right track?

yes you are correct. the american society is very polarised right now and frankly it has lost its center. i am a center position, this is why i have joined bsky.
Dig it. That's why we're here too. As you recognize.. we have many issues in the U.S. right now. To be frank, fascism. Too many people turn to hate and anger to "retaliate" against images of what they perceive to be the enemy. Towing active I.C.E. vehicles is not only non-violent.. it's SMART!
Also by the way communists did exactly the same when they came after the people they hated, with these raids. They looked for bourgouse people, land owners, "rich" people, intelectuals, germans, state enemies and more. Americans are fascinated by nazism to the point of paroxism
HUGE correction there. The CORRUPT Americans love that nazi bullshit. They now make up the infrastructure of the Republican party. On the "left", you also have "post hoc ergo propter hoc" extremists who are hypocritical to what they preach.
they are communists first nazi after that. the left refuses to also use the word communism because they cant accept it, the global communism. Also European current socialism as they envision it simply does not exist. I
So.. a HUGE problem we're facing right now.. globally.. is the raping of context and language. It's especially worse through these limited "chat posts". I believe that it's fair to say that too many people make opinions based on a lack of context... especially because of what they see on "TV"..
yeah that true. but small space also offers a unique challenge to synthesize. for example, it would help to see the ICE raids also as communist as much as they are nazi like. Why? Because communists killed more people than Hitler, put more people into camps, lived longer (still now)...
much smarter than smashing the windows because you can impound the cars and not release them
AGREED. There is a difference between fighting smart and throwing temper tantrums. Unfortunately, when I'm face to face with the neo-nazis.. the only language they understand is "physical communication". They are the ones attacking ME. If I see them attacking innocents.. I step in.
That is good but we also need to understand the deeper mechanism otherwise we stand in a reactionary mode. For example for historic purposes its like the SA forces fighting communists in the begining of Hitler ascension. SA was transformed to SS. So too reactionary not so good
Here's that context thing again. Yes, agreed.
in my eyes and objectively speaking, this current regime is more communist (in practice not theory) than nazi. but americans when you bring up the communist word they get theoretical without seeing that communist regimes did worse than hitler, which didnt have time to do more damage
I'm pretty sure that "tyranny" is the word you're looking for. Need to take my kitty to the vet. I'll catch up when I come back.
And another thing is Trump works well with communist leaders today for example Putin. And Russia is actually very comunist today, in practice. Comunists by the way knew about prices and capitalism, they just wanted economy control and to sell their BS to the people
😅👍 "Tyranny".
Another thing, Hitler personality was at the polar opposite from Trumps personality. Trumps personality is closer to the Stalin one, sure not identical. The essence here is that if you study Trumps personality cult it is very similar to the communist ones
I don't know. They both seem to fit that "failed artist" type... 😅 They both grew up liking the smell of their own "poop".. I'm pretty sure... 🤔
And another thing, this shit personality cult we see in trump if you look at it, it is very close to the one of Stalin, Mao, Lenin... than of Hitler. Hitler was more ideologically oriented and a good orator, comunists were never good at this. Trump is a shitty orator for example.
YUP.
you are right. but you see democrats avoid talking about communism at all. this gives trump actually an advantage because in practice (with the abortion bans as well), his regime looks more communist than another. communists in eastern europe banned abortions like hell and they were nationalistic
Right. In regards to the broad global stereotypes of the "left" v.s. the "right". Both categories are susceptible to misinterpretation. For instance, in regards to "communism".. it is my firm opinion that the P.R.C. is corrupt as F. They use the same brainwashing tactics as the neo-nazis (et al).
it is interesting what i see in america. there is a certain form of reactionism but only when some racial buttons are pushed or only in that context. This is because some themes work better than others. or framing it as nazism without any word of communism
