Now that’s a take.
Seems like people associate fascism with far right beliefs and behaviors rather than authoritarianism or nationalism. I was wondering earlier this week if that’s what people have been doing the way that the word “fascism” has been bandied about, I guess this answers my question.
Saying “too bad” about Fascism is wild
Someone being arrested for criticizing a religion is pretty newsworthy to be fair
Germany doing a fascism? Color me surprised.
I don’t get why they didn’t just rule a mistrial. Did the judge wanna get him convicted so bad that second charges were needed?
When did they say that?
You think the claim that the shooter took the bus is unreliable due to poor sources of the claim
You want the killer to get away
Hahaha wait are you saying you don’t believe CNN’s source here?
How do you know that it’s true? You don’t remember where you heard this “information” from?
Where’d you hear that from?
And then suddenly a whole bunch of stuff is going to end up looking the way it really is…
What the heck does that mean?
I looked on Wikipedia because there isn’t enough in the article preview to tell, but:
The Oxford Union Society, commonly referred to as the Oxford Union, is a debating society in the city of Oxford, England
There’s your problem right there. Good luck having open debates in Britain with the rules they have in place rn lol
If the information I find is true, I do not care where it comes from.
All the information in the post is accurate from what I can tell. Did you identify any lies in the article?
Good thing I asked!
Could it be that some people found the left to be too extreme but they weren’t ready to vote for a Republican yet?
To be fair, like most left wing echo chambers like Reddit, you’re probably more likely to see extreme content there than amongst most people on the left.
The funny thing about this response is I bet you’ll continue to criticize the right for doing this after greenlighting the left to do this since the right does this
(Side note: it’s fair to acknowledge that both Taylor Lorenz and abortion clinic bombers are extremists in their own respective political wings)
Well I mean inciting imminent violence or mayhem isn’t covered or protected by the First Amendment from what I can remember. I’m not saying that all speech that leads to violence should be illegal, but like, if you tell people to slash up folks with knives and they do that, yeah you should be liable for that.
People associate the far right with fascism because of desperate attempts to make the right wing in general unappealing, not because the right tends to support fascism.
For clarity, when I refer to “far right”, I’m speaking in terms of social values. So, things like white supremacism/segregationsim, misogyny, supporting the installation of a theocracy, etc.
Stuff like dictatorial control, violent suppression of opposition, etc. are pretty bipartisan positions. Folks on both the left and right support using such powers to meet their own ends. You yourself are doing so here, cheering on someone being jailed for criticizing Islam.
