  • , it doesn’t include contemporary American fascism, which openly derides the state as an institution.

    i would say that's not true. i'd say the democrats are fantastic fascists who laud the state as the panacea for all of society's ills. but even the republicans would never try to degrade the military and policing power of the state.

  • you’ve already had one comment removed

    appeal to authority

  • Clearly nobody agrees with you.

    bandwagon fallacy

  • this isn't evidence. it's an allusion to evidence.

  • it has to do with the primacy of the state. if the society is built around the supremacy of the state and all of the institutions serve the interest of the state... that's exactly what mussolini was trying to build.

  • power vacuums are a myth used to sell weapons to the pentagon.

  • Conservatives.

    oh? where is this lynching happening?

    and i wouldn't say conservatism is the problem so much as social stratification.

    i don't know what "conservative" even means, honestly. i'd just call the people you're describing "reactionaries."

  • i acknowledged the southern strategy at the start of this. it doesn't change who did the lynching.

  • Robert Byrd is the one you’re looking for. He was in the KKK at one point and died 10 years after Thurmond.

    he's another one. but both are well-known democrats.

  • If you’re trying to “both sides” this thing

    i'm not. there aren't two sides. the democrats were the party of lynching. i would produce 3 democrats for every republican you can name that did it.

    the democrats are bad. this is true whether republicans ever existed or continue to exist.

  • They actively ban people who aren’t tankies.

    this seems unlikely.

  • yea? and his friend from delaware is in the white house.

  • strom thurmond was good friends with a certain senator from delaware. the senator who touted his state as "a slave state".
