I'm utterly convinced fascism as a term is only employed by western supremacists at this point.
Euros invade the global south: YAY

A lot of people struggle to define exactly what is fascism, but that’s because it’s just capitalism, but intensified. If you had to give a definition, it’s imperialism turned inwards.
That's precisely why fascism has been colloquially redefined to mean only what the Nazis did.
Otherwise we'd look at neoliberalism, or even post war era social democracy, and see that it's just fascism.
I went ahead and looked into it a little closer.
We're still on their whitelist, which could honestly be an accident. But if it's not, then it makes the second part of my findings more annoying.
We were added to the "censored" category because one instance listed us as being "redfash". We banned a person registered to this instance for "liberalism" a short while ago. Meaning, very likely, they retaliated by listing us as redfash on Fediseer.
such a fuckin reddit moment.
for people who care, our endorsement to censor ratio is 3/1
how do you “endorse” this instance? Is it something that just anyone can do?
It looks like you have to be an instance admin.
From what I gather, instance admins file endorsements & censorships on other instances, listing their reasons.
It's nice that it's democratized, but it's not nice that one person can put you on the censor list.
Cool thanks. So which instance admin was that guy?
I simply do not know.
Who
Some ppl working on a federated blocklist tool. Apparently anti-imperialism deserves to be blocked along with pedo instances, according to its wise creators.
New interpretation of horseshoe theory just dropped.
Ironic as imperialism and the p-word very often go together.
The moment I saw that someone (and that "someone" being db0 who already blocks us on their own instance lol) was working on a "better alternative" to The Bad Space (a blocklist that's been getting a lot of negative attention on Mastodon/etc. for being really bad lol) that it would go exactly like this
I think about that a lot. Both the redefinition of fascism to mean the specific policies and behaviours of the Nazi party, and the fact that the EU successfully achieved quietly and without much resistance what the Nazis attempted loudly and brashly.
The term red fash specifically has absolutely no meaning beyond telling us that the speaker has no interest in understanding political ideology. It's kind of like tankie but more dumb.
What? What do you think the nazis tried and the EU has succeeded at?
Fediseer deez nuts
Who?
They didn’t even say RedFashTankie smh
I basically only comment here anyway. Sometimes elsewhere if I accidentally click all. No big loss. Hope the libs enjoy me reminding them of this though every time they whine about CHINESE HATE FREE SPEECH. Maybe. And so do you. It's kind of sad when you got the godless soulless commies!! putting up with annoying libs all day but they meltdown after being called pieces of shit a few times. I expected nothing and my expectations were met.
I'm utterly convinced by your words that you've earned the title, fascist.
hexbear has been officially censured by lemmy.world due to us being "red fash" and a "brigade" instance despite never providing any actual proof of hexbear's brigading.
