Originally posted by ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pretty easy to identify a real fascist. They're the ones who try to stifle, ban and harass opinions they don't agree with, burn books they don't agree with, burn down the buildings of the people they don't agree with, topple statues they don't agree with, and doxx people they don't agree with. Everyone and their dog knows that's exactly the things the left wing lunatics do on a daily basis. They're the fascists.

Far-right activists and other extremists are attempting to hijack local issues such as low-traffic schemes by linking them to conspiracy theories, campaigners have warned.
….
As things fall apart, we can expect more and more insane bullshit to become mainstream as people seek an explanation for their plight that doesn't involve them having to do too much thinking. Currently Fascists are using the classic entryist tactic, formerly reserved for Trots & the far Left, to get involved in local issues and weedle their way into community politics.
…
More than a fifth (22%) of 18- to 24-year-olds thought it was “definitely” or “probably true” the official account of the Holocaust was a lie, while only 3% of those aged over 65 thought the same, according to a 20,000-person poll by FocalData.
Catch 'Em Young: the shocking news that 22% of 18-34 year olds not only don't know basic history but accept Nazi-style revisionism of same should be a kick in the balls to those who don't want to see it happen again.We're seeing not just a resurgence in the far-right in all age groups, but near complete dissociation with reality. This started with partisan propaganda mass media in the 1990s, but greatly accelerated with social media and its engagement algorithms.
Polls suggest there are 10-15 million in the US alone who buy into this crap, the numbers that are QAnon adjacent are probably twice that. There's a systematic effort to destroy empathy for others, humanity, and the idea of objective truth. This is the world Hitler and Putin would dream for us, and too many are doing it to themselves. -

Originally posted by aldra maybe, but I try not to pull that thread too hard simply because I don't want to believe everyone is just a meat machine. it'd open the door to justifying anything and everything and I don't want to lower myself to that - it'd effectively turn me into a meat machine, an especially bad one, and I believe we have the potential to be more than that.
Well, not if we kill ourselves. -

Originally posted by aldra taking action that guarantees your death is probably the only choice you can make that's truly your own
What about suicide makes you think it is "more genuinely" your own, versus anything else you do?
I don't believe there is a genuine self behind the mask.
You're not your body. If you lost your leg, we could replace it theoretically and you would still be you. In fact, theoretically we could replace every bone in your body, every tissue, and you would still be you.
You're not your brain. Theoretically, if we could replicate your brain exactly the replicated brain wouldn't be a second you; you would still be you, and the new brain would be a new person who may think extremely similarly to you, but they would still be new person who can and will become different than you.
You're not even your brain state. Someone who has experienced a traumatic injury to their brain may develop a different personality, but they are still the same person. Your grandparents can lose their memories as they age but they remain your grandparents. In theory we could reprogram Jack's mind, erase old memories and give him new ones, completely change his personality - and he would still be Jack. He would just act and think differently and no longer identify with how he acted and thought before the procedure.
So what is left? Underneath everything that can be replaced and changed, behind every "choice" and everything that is molded by the world and developes and changes as we age, fundamentally what remains?
