Caught this interview yesterday

https://www.npr.org/2020/09/06/910320018/fascism-scholar-says-u-s-is-losing-its-democratic-status

Quote:

But what is and isn't fascist isn't even agreed upon by scholars.

Jason Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale University, offers one perspective on the word. He defines fascism as "a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation."


It's not agreed upon but let's only have one severely biased (probably antifa member, imo (seriously, if you listen to the interview instead of reading it, you can hear his disdain for all things not left))contribute to the article. Awesome journalism.

Quote:

Well if someone described to you, "Here's country X. The leader of country X claims that he is going to remain in power for many years beyond what is legal. He sends federal forces in to quell largely peaceful protests for racial justice in his country. His attorney general seems dedicated to him over the rule of law. The major political party that controls the courts and most of the government has, as their entire platform, devotion to him."


That's totally what is happening.


Quote:

The U.S. is the home of anti-fascist resistance not just our soldiers in World War II but our intellectuals and journalists and nonviolent protest movements and revolutionaries here who have confronted our own racial history that so influenced Hitler.


No worry, antifa and intellectuals are here to save the day.


Why does npr get govt funding? Why are they considered some sort of neutral platform?

I heard it many years ago, and I cannot believe it is true.

The last form of philosophy is the definition of words, linguistics.

It is no longer about seeking the definition of life or humanity. Whoever controls linguistics controls history.

An attorney general completely devoted to his president?

Didn't Bobby Kennedy die 50+ years ago?

So many words to say nothing. Trump is not fascist. If he was, he would not have been impeached, the msm would not butcher him daily and his law breaking opponents (obama, hilary, holder) would all be in jail.

Fascist leaders don't allow these things to happen.

I agree that our country is becoming Fascist.

It's being led by the media, the left wing party of the democrats, corporate interests, and the deep state.

Believe what we believe or we will get you fired from your job, banned from social media, harassed in public, and generally vilified as a white supremacist. We might even get you in jail.

NPR discussing fascism is just some lib news writer's fantasy. When are they going to have an interview about political lies and propaganda?

If Trump was really a fascist, the NPR building would be a Trump 2020 campaign HQ and the idiots that work there would be in a prison camp somewhere outside of Cuba.

The fact that they exist and can actually publish that tripe defeats the argument they are trying to put forward.

Reread 1984 this weekend for the 4th time, so this hits me right now.

Marxism never gained power in Western Europe after WWI. They tried. But they failed. Facism was a competitor with more appeal to the highly divided and culture aware Europeans. It's nationalist versus bland internationalist dogma had a broader appeal in Spain, Italy, Germany, and elsewhere, and dynamic and narcissistic leaders were able to lead Those movements to success before Marxism could establish itself. Western Europe also did not have as large of an uneducated peasant population for Marxists to exploit.

No president in our lifetime has been attacked with the prejudice and malice that he has simply because he's not a statesman or part of the clique.

With the combined forces of media, academia, entertainment, the Washington bureaucracy, and and half the country it is simply unprecedented.

It was just as brutal and ruthless to its enemies as Marxism, but it actually ran down overall lives less and the choice made sense.

That's not yet true. For the simple reason right now is still the transition, there are millions of us living from the times before high-tech could fake reality and who remember it vividly. And who tracked things as they happened.

Unfortunately it will be for your children and theirs and anyone in the present education system.

There will be no way for your kids after you are gone to know there ever was something other than what are told unless they go investigate themselves. But no way to know `socially' because it won't be set up that way.

Just look at the false police murder of blacks narrative the Democrats&Media -- who run all the cities where it happens the most, are pushing nation-wide. That would never have worked here before the age of social media because being anti-totalitarian was baked into the Cold War ethos.

Oh, and btw, like his glorious banning of CRT, President Trump needs to defund NPR - take public funds away - on Nov 2 --- just in case.

ALL opposition would have been crushed, internet would have been shut down, and martial law declared.

Fascism is alive and well in America, but on the left of the political spectrum; and it has taken over the Democrat Party via Antifa (such irony) and BLM.

This is always my response to these lame-brained morons who make idiotic claims that Trump is a fascist or what-have-you. Curiously, when I ask these bozos if they truly believe he is a fascist do they not understand that they would be in some cattle car en route to some remote camp for "re-education", all I get in reply is crickets.
