  • Many people fail to grasp this, fascism is the mutual merger of state and corporate power.

    Both work to enhance the control the other exerts in specific areas, such as corporate capture of regulatory bodies, and state capture of media.

    Fearful idiots are easily duped by the state and media into ‘othering’ a group of people.

    Claims that the ‘other’ group are weaklings eroding the country but powerful enough to be running some kind of shadow government are common in fascism.

    This gives more ‘reason’ for the fearful idiots to push their ‘saviour’ figure into the role of dictator.













  • They fought a war against an opposing army, not by assassinating people exercising their right to discuss opinions and ideas

    Of course it’s morally superior to kill a conscript (the British army was largely comprised of conscripts) than it is to kill a propagandist who advocates for political violence. /s

    In fact they fought FOR the right to have opinions and ideas and to express them.

    Utter rubbish. The war was instigated over matters of taxation and trade.

    They thought it was so important to protect that right, that they put it into the bill of rights

    It was so important that it was left out of the Constitution and had to be submitted as a bill to amend the Constitution.

    Hardly sounds like the defining cause of the rebellion if they forgot to put it in their foundational document the first time around.





  • I have never seen a person get shot in person (I’ve seen those videos too) but I have hunted pigs and kangaroos, bullet wounds really aren’t portrayed well in media.

    What’s funny to me is that American conservatives will argue that you can’t have guns in Australia. You can. We have guns and… no school shootings. No politicians being assassinated.

    Charlie Kirk spouted all kinds of bullshit about my country. I’m very happy he won’t be doing that anymore.
