Who are the fascists?

Question

The modern liberal is: “Be politically correct”, “say what I tell you to say[you can or can't use the N word]”, “accept sexually the way I tell you to accept it”, and "if you fall out of my lines, I will charge you with a hate crime or a lawsuit." This is fascism reborn, but it all comes from the left.

Answer 1

Yes and the libs also:
Outlawed smoking in public since they don't like it

Trying to outlaw gun ownership since they don't like guns

told business owners how to cook the food they serve when they outlawed trans-fats

And they want to run the radio with their fairness doctrine.

Of course they're fascists.

Answer 2

Anti-individualistic, the fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal will of man as a historic entity.... The fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.... Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number.... We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right', a Fascist century. If the nineteenth century was the century of the individual (liberalism implies individualism) we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State. (a version of the text is here).

Since Mussolini, however, there have been many conflicting definitions of the term "fascism." Former Columbia University Professor Robert O. Paxton has written that:

"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion."[5]
Paxton further defines fascism's essence as:

"1. a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond reach of traditional solutions; 2. belief one’s group is the victim, justifying any action without legal or moral limits; 3. need for authority by a natural leader above the law, relying on the superiority of his instincts; 4. right of the chosen people to dominate others without legal or moral restraint; 5. fear of foreign `contamination."[6]

The word fascist is thrown around far to lightly. Since no one self-identifies as a fascist, they are only called a fascist by those who oppose them. Since the definition of the term is so loose, it is a case where any group can be made to fit the definition if one skews their perception enough. In most cases, conservatives stand for individual rights. But, the religious right has pushed their moral interpretations on others, limiting their rights on a few issues. The left claims to respect individuality and freedom, but clamps down on anything that contrdicts their interpretation in the doctrine of diversity. Liberals have made a push toward collectivism. It is a case like a prophesy. If you twist it around enough you can make it fit for anyone. It would be better to just not use the term at all and criticize your opponents on an issue by issue basis. The word fascist is only meant to stir up fear.

Answer 3

All roads are leading in that direction from what I can see.

When will these bleeding hearts realize that I DON'T want them doing anything 'for my own good'. Let them run their lives and leave mine alone.

Yes, it ALL comes from the do-gooders on the left.

Answer 4

"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices.... Government has to make those choices for people"
(From the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p 20 - Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her expensive, disastrous taxpayer-funded health care plan)

"I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe"
Hillary in 1996 From the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p. 76 - Hillary in 1996)

Answer 5

I think you have that backwards sparky. I believe it's the cons forcing sexual identities on people and as for the rest say the N word all you want...I don't recall anyone criminalizing it.

Good to see you pointing game with Penelope.

Answer 6

I think I found their fight song.
