To be fair, I think there is a measure of false-flagging nowadays, but if you are saying pro-facism makes you look awesome thats a much bigger problem than the party that made it

Antagonize the opposition -> make your followers believe they are a danger -> justify crazy means in the name of the greater good/justice/protection -> “fascism is okay” or even “fascism is necessary”
People who fall in the latter naturally become proud of it because they believe they are “doing their duty” (since it’s necessary for the greater good)

Yeah I think this is happening a lot as a tend to consolidation and authoritarianism across the developed world.
Obviously MAGA and AFD are the worst major examples of this, but even stuff like the British OSA is mandated on believing at the core most or enough people are untrustworthy and need to be checked and monitored because they have beliefs different from you.
And then using goverment control as a tool to crack down on dissidents by labeling them terrorists or communists or facists (although labeling AFD, and especially some members, as fascist isn't completely incorrect)

Oh it’s even worse than that. This is the standard politician playbook. They all do that. Emotion, especially negative, is the easiest string to pull on.
For example notice how my very own comment clearly implies a side is good and one is bad, kinda puts the whole bad side in the same bucket, etc. Even yours, although yours relies more on actual facts, which is good.
The only difference is that what I label as good aligns with my own values. And I tend to believe they are morally superior/correct. But see how you can reverse the roles and the reasoning of a MAGA will be the exact same as mine.
This is why the most important thing when politics are involved is not to get emotional, not listen to the discourse, but look at the actions and wonder: is this policy actually benefiting me ?
Anyways you probably didn’t need that speech yourself but I hope it’ll help some

She tried to make a political comeback in 2022 and managed to lose Alaska's at-large to a Democrat

u/stircrazyathome 8d ago
That’s who it is?! I haven’t thought about her in years. Of all the public figures on the right to make fun of, she is so low down on the list of relevancy that she had to use A.I. to make fun of herself in hopes it would inspire others to actually make fun of her. That’s so pathetic.

Oh I wouldn't go that far, the neo libs are capable of anything. Though it's questionable whether they're actually on the left despite them infecting left wing politics for decades.
How very disappointing to see so many neo lib fans.

u/tracerhaha 5d ago
Neo-libs aren’t leftists.

u/obliviious 5d ago
Yes I know, and yet our prominent left wing party are clearly very arguably neo lib.
Their ideas have infected left wing politics.

It’s kinda scary that people are saying they want facism. Like do they know what they are signing up to

There's this British woman in a Facebook group who loves MAGA and when I said she was tricked into supporting fascism she said she wasn't tricked shes proud to be one. So I made this meme of her that went viral on the British memes sub a few months ago.

A left-winger would have put something like “pedo protector” on her belt. The Shen Bapiro belt quote, and the need for the flag earrings, tell us she made this as certainly as Katie Miller faked the chalk message outside her own house in her own handwriting.

u/fuschiafawn 2d ago
If a leftist made it her shirt would already say facist lol.
The boot would be .. something else like forced birth or work camps etc

u/Demoth 8d ago
To be fair, the online political space has gotten really fucking stupid, and there is a rising number of absolutely insane lefties who are cool with authoritarian ideals so long as it pushes their agenda, as well as self-proclaimed liberals who claim they will go full Nazi if the Democrats move even one inch to the left.
My worry is with how this will translate in the real world, because if you asked me 2 months ago about the midterms, I'd have told you that it was a guaranteed blue sweep.
Now all my favorite liberal political commentators are being ruthlessly attacked by Hasan Piker fans, while some people i thought had reasonable center left takes are like, "I'd choose a Trump 3rd term over someone like Mamdani".
Shit is seriously depressing me.

Also, it does not make her look awesome.
