Perdido en mi habitación sin saber que hacer. Migrado a la fuerza al comprobar que el servidor en el que estaba ha cerrado/petado/lo que sea. Entendí demasiado tarde que después de la @ sólo había la nada.
Buscando razón y bondad, tesoros cada vez más escasos.
Me gusta filosofar y me aburren las conversaciones superficiales en las redes sociales: con las relaciones sociales reales es suficiente.
@selzero It seems that Trump’s supporters fell into two categories:
-
those who benefit financially—either immensely or to a lesser extent and indirectly—and the rest, numbering in the millions (the MAGAs),
-
who are either too stupid to realize they’re screwing themselves over and/or malicious; they’re so full of hatred that they’re happy to see others suffer, even if they’re suffering themselves.
@torf @autonomysolidarity How power is exercised is one thing. The ideological basis for that exercise is quite another.
The question is not who decides what fascism is, but rather what it is based on the behavior of those acts and people who follow that logic, which has been extensively studied.
In the political and social sphere, fascist thought:
-
Rejects democracy, equality, and reason, replacing them with irrationalism, militarism, extreme nationalism, and the cult of violence.
-
Is based on the belief in the natural inequality of human beings, the superiority of certain races or nations, and the need for internal “cleansing” and external expansion to restore national glory.
In the economic sphere:
-
Rejection of free markets and efficiency-based productivity, replacing them with brute force and capitalist accumulation through exploitation and conquest.
-
Resources are seized by force, not through the market, and production serves imperialist expansion, not the common good. This culminates in predatory war and genocide, as occurred under Nazism and Italian fascism and currently with the U.S. and Israel, for example.
Fascism and supremacism are twin brothers; the only difference is that in the former, the state is controlled and actions are taken in its name. In supremacism, state involvement is not necessary.
