Fascism is un-American

  • Yeah dawg that's my point. We have the ideal of equality but also failed to actually follow through with it.

  • I'm talking about the shared cultural values of the society we have today, views shared by most Americans. Most Americans like free speech. Most Americans like liberty. Et cetera and so on. These are things that are part of our culture. You aren't any less of a person for recognizing that these are values that are held by this culture.

    I am also saying that despite culturally sharing in these values, our society also fails to actually support them in very big ways.

  • Nah man, Americans have values. Freedom, perseverance, independence, self expression. It's just that we have utterly failed to uphold those values in our actions. Even in the beginning, talking about slavery being terrible but still allowing it for political reasons right at the founding.

  • Nah, I liked how I phrased it. We've been failing to uphold our ideals since the beginning, even Thomas Jefferson was a hypocrite who hated slavery but sure as hell did a lot of it.

  • I feel like it's unamerican in regards to the values our country espouses, even though it completely and utterly fails to uphold them.

    Jump

  • That's irrelevant. The study showed that people were in better mental health and the reason why he said it was because they were doing fulfilling hobbies is probably because they told the researchers that's what they did instead.

    • Amazon is changing what is written in books

    • What movie is in your top list despite its absolute shit rating?

    • Do you know how to swim?

    Jump

  • There is a relatively unknown (outside of the black community) bias against swimming. Slaves were traumatized to be hydrophobic to prevent escape from slave ships and then there was segregation of pools until relatively recently. This is fortunately fading now, last I checked.

    • Do you know how to swim?

    Jump

  • Nope. Couldn't afford lessons, no one had a pool and I lived in a predominantly black city. I'd like to one day just for safely but I usually just sink like a rock.

    • If you could rearrange the days in a week, what would your ideal month look like.

    Jump

  • Every year is one day. One very long day.

    • If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?

    Jump

  • I'll finagle it.
