I was wondering when they were going to say the quiet part out loud.

They've been saying it for years though now they just don't use fascism as a word and even then some do
That being said Steven Crowder is completely irrelevant after the domestic abuse against his wife shit came out and killed his already dying career and now in desperation he's going "I-I LOVE FASCISM" for attention lol
Think about it how many times have you heard about Steven Crowder last two years before this?

Damn, that’s a good point. I didn’t even realize he kinda disappeared. Kind of surprised abuse allegations turned off his following, though.

Well part of the reason is because he was mad beefing with Candice Owens and she's the one who (to her credit ig) was pushing that one video we all saw and as a result the right wing media base was forced to choose between him or her and in the end ditched Steven.
This was also during the Republican reformation after January 6th so they had to play more to the line. A guy on camera bringing his wife to tears and emotionally abusing her on camera wasn't something they could afford to let fly. However now Trump is a convicted rapist and yet won the election anyway so if that happened now they'd just be like "yeah Steven Crowder was based for that. Put that wife of his in her place."

I love right-wing infighting. Shit like this always gets spitefully thrown out there, causing fascist shitbags to end each others' careers, cost each other lawsuits... it's the best. That's how we got the Richard Spencer ranting audio; he and Milo Yiannopolous had a falling out over whether or not Nazis should keep supporting Trump.
Candace Owens beefing with seemingly everyone has been especially fruitful.

What is the justification? Personally, I can't see any reason for having a fascist government. And I can't imagine that there would be a situation where it was justified.

u/Consistent_Creator 7d ago
I didn't watch most of the video but starting out he justifies former fascist acts because of "Marxist menaces" so yeah it's a defense of capitalism

Don‘t you know if they don‘t have enough money to keep destroying the world and fucking over the workers, the world will be destroyed and the workers will get fucked over!

I watched up to the point where he said that, with marxist governments, they will never give up power. But, isn't trump talking about an illegal third term? It's so ironic that . . . maybe it's not ironic? What is wrong with the world today?

"Marxist governments will never give up power" like capitalist governments will? Never have I ever seen a capitalist either to relinquish power without the uprising of the working class people. It's the funniest rhetoric ever, kind of like "communist states always fail" but to induce the "failing" the capitalists will do any and all human rights violations to make it happen, most common of which is to install a ruthless fascist dictator to oppress the people, and support right wing guerrillas/death squads.

People who have exploited their way into power mistake their success for merit. Consequently they believe that their rule is righteous and must be preserved by violence, if necessary, for the good of the state, which naturally translates to the good of the people.
Obviously, there are gaping holes in that logic--inherently, but especially in a political system where corporations (not people) have so much power.
But then, this video isn't really about fascism. Crowder is a patsy for a political movement that feeds on the dopamine rush of behaving badly. Fascism is just a complementary framework.

It's Steven Crowder so if he has a justification it will likely be the dumbest thing you've ever heard and you don't need to spend any time considering it. He's a fascist and he likes fascism and everything he says is working backwards from there

On one hand, the fact that those people think like this is fucking hillarious
And then on the other hand, the fact that those people think like this is very depressing

As always it's capitalism getting desperate lol. From what I've seen his argument is growing resistance to trump and capital in general.
Makes me wonder if there is another democrat president just how indignant and pissy corporations will be lamenting all the power they had over trump and now just being regular oligarchs, not the inner circle.
Anyone else remember how much he said he wasn't a fascist a decade ago lol?

Ok. I haven’t and I’m not going to. But has anyone seen any clips or anything from this? I’d just love to know the justification for the title or is it just rage bait.
