It's funny that we always worried that fascism would come from the right.

- The cult of action for action's sake? Check.
- Disagreement is treason? Definitely.
- Fear of difference? Ironically, yes. Fear of "whiteness" is preached.
- Appeal to social frsutration? Check.
- Obsession with a plot (what the sheep now call "narrative)? Without question.
- The enemy is both weak and strong? "Whites' time is up with the browning of America," while whites simultaneously control the systems of oppression.
- Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy? The evidence of this is abundant among these folks.
- The use of Newspeak? We can all agree that this fits.
That's eight of Eco's fourteen characteristics.
You can disagree with BLM. But calling the movement “fascist” is ignorant.

Is that a metaphor in your neck of the woods? What's your hypothesis about why a coin would be dirty only on one side?
Do you walk to work or carry your lunch?
Is there some unwoke award you're gunning for? Geez.
Try the larger size, you have a lot of angst.

Having a "Black Lives Matter" poster prominently displayed in a police station house has become a fascist statement and action.
Total news - And that you'd have a list - a moronic list of nothing, a modern day neologism to underline it as a "fascistic" action (which by the
way is a term for right-wing politics for being intolerant and hateful - but don't let that get in the way of your new protologism.
You and Piggles must ride the same pony together. You're working out just fine as a duo.
Said nobody.

Just helped my 16 year old stepdaughter with an AP history exam. OMG! Every single paragraph of the questions she read portrayed white people as monstrous human beings. She says she never pays attention and it's like fiction to her. I pray this true case for most of our youth.
He says it is easy. He just spits back the professor's viewpoints. He disagrees with them 100%. He writes entire essays arguing for a viewpoint he thinks is wrong. When he convinces them he agrees, he gets A's.
That is the generation we are raising now.
I'm sure there were a lot of people in the Soviet Union who learned to keep their real views inside, and not voice them.
Nice to know we live in a free society, where independent thought is valued.
I have wondered whether I should even send my kids to college. But, at least he sees through their bullshit.
It strengthens beliefs on the other side with independent minds. It also makes leftism The Man. I see this already with Gen Z kids, some of whom mock this stuff mercilessly. Being Woke is "square," while being anti-Woke is being rebellious.
Ultimately, it's the other profs and spineless administrators who know something is wrong but say nothing who are to blame. I certainly understand why 20 year-old kids are unwilling to jeopardize their diplomas by speaking up in this environment, but I admire the students who still do. Ultimately, you have to answer the man above and the guy in the mirror.

Or something like that.
The other night he swore that he had asked me a question. I went back and re-read his post and still couldn't find one, which then prompted more incoherent, grammatically-fractured comments, followed by a rejoinder that apparently was an attempt at humor. I say Mark should cut off his privileges at 6 PM. Jim seems to take a steeper nosedive roughly beginning around that time.
I am wrong every single.day, just ask my wife. But that act of being wrong is an essential trigger for growth.
So it begs a question, would I rather be always right or would I rather have constant growth? I choose the latter.
Which sounds pretty innocuous, but feels like just a first step. Towards what I am not sure.
I'm not making this up: they basically advertised for an ex-con who could serve on the police review board. Isn't that a great idea?
Particularly in this current environment, you will get people with an irrational hatred of cops who are steeped in the Woke religion.
Unelected group of people of unknown current or future composition with unknown current or future delegated powers or influences.

Imagine if big pharma, big oil and such invade my local relatively small town citizen police review board. It's my primary concern.
It happens everyday of your life in America.
And that you'd call BLM or rather, a continued march for civil rights and equal rights for all citizens a special interest group or make that comparison is in direct relation to you
not getting it. And as an American, it's shameful.
But it's founded in equal opportunity for everyone, not equal results based on whatever categorization is the flavor of the week.
You sit in your apartment in NYC and are concerned that you aren't doing enough. You feel guilty. But instead of doing anything you bitch at me and others on this ND forum.
Do something or shut the fuck up.
My conscience is clear, since I do stuff...

For a guy complaining about someone bitching on a forum, you certainly do a lot of it.
Mr. Clear Conscience.
And I am totally good with that as far as I am concerned, but I still worry that you'll always only see beige.
police review boards, all with Trump's blessing.
Can I retract everything I previously said about deplorable police review boards?
Until you can't.
I'm still trying to figure out what fascism is though, I'll get back to you.
