So we have to check ALL these off the list before we start worrying?

14 defining characteristics of Facism:

  1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

  2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

  3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

  4. Supremacy of the Military
    Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

  5. Rampant Sexism
    The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.

  6. Controlled Mass Media
    Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.

  7. Obsession with National Security
    Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

  8. Religion and Government are Intertwined
    Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

  9. Corporate Power is Protected
    The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

  10. Labor Power is Suppressed
    Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

  11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
    Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

  12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
    Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

  13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
    Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

  14. Fraudulent Elections
    Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Check check check etc

It's very clear

trying to silence freedom of speech is shutting down media outlets one way or another, he blocked them from covering his conferences. You should have the mental capacity to recognize the difference.

The has to be some sort of checks and balances regarding the media. You act as if Trump is crazy for his extreme reaction to the media attack again him but in the same breath act as if the media attack against him isn't a simple result of his representation of the counter culture they represent which is an extreme and childish reaction within itself.

I'll ask you what I asked someone else. You probably spent year talking shyt about Fox news and how they need to be eradicated, if Obama did what Trump is doing to these liberal trash news outlets would you be singing the same tune or would you be cosigning it?

I find it funny when liberals spend their free time trying to limit the opinions and speech of those who don't go with the status quo, only to bytch about "freedom of speech" (while using it out of context btw) when they get chin checked.
I'm a life long registered independent, and a moderate at that, living in the only borderline Libertarian state in the Union.

I hate bullies, closed minded people, and those who can dish it out but can't take it.

You could want to improve immigration, and I'm not mad at you.

You could want to balance the budget, and I'm right there with you.

You could want to have a long look at our foreign policy, and were discussing.

You could want to keep gun rights unhindered, and I'm still talking to you.

But if you chose to ignore the types of completely non presidential, unpatriotic and unflinchingly ignorant and distasteful things Donald J Trump has said and done and been surrounded by in the past 6-10 months, because your a 'Republican', than you can go fukk yourself right in the ass.

This isn't how Nazi Germany started :heh:

The issue tho is that Trump is cutting off media that presents certain facts about him. Fox News is biased af but they present him favorably so their good in his eyes. All this shyt is eventually gonna blow up in his face but how much damage does he do in that time is concerning

:yeshrug: what makes Any of these media outlets better than any other media outlet......fuuck em.....

Half of HL could do just as good a job if not better than the MSM press.......freedom of the press is just a motherfuucker with a pen and a notepad at the end of the day.

They 've had decades to sit in the front row ...... it didn't stop wars, it didn't stop corruption, criminality by our "leaders"....so what difference does it really make?

I didn't see posters crying when BHO signed the NDAA to censor news.

I didn't see yall crying this week when AdRoll took Infowars of of their list to make money advertising their products on the Internet?

Or hell Google censored NaturalNews.com this week too.

I didn't see yall crying Boyce Watkins whole pages got blocked on Facebook.

So honestly fuuuck em. If free honest reporting can't be respected then this is what you get...
All I'm saying is ban everybody if dude hates the media so much. Guess people rather not hear anything and be blind than have the media. Every media outlet has been reckless with their reporting at times whether their mainstream media, some website, or just a nikka with a microphone. This goes against everything that people claim they're for and nikkas cool with it. Motherfickers be mad that some kid didn't get news coverage for being accepted to college as a 10 year old but somehow Trump banning media in these times is ok. Media that he doesn't like. Ok... Wtf will people say if their favorite podcast gets banned or some shyt? These fools got away with this, ain't no telling what they have up their sleeves next. I'm just gonna sit back and watch like I've been doing tho.

So Nationalism is OK during the Olympics, but when we do want to put our country first in everyday life, it's a problem? Got it. Neg me. I'm done here.
The Olympics is game breh and I don't think anyone would have an issue with the Nationalism if it benefited all Americans and not just white ones

That is caping for pedos. Most victims talk about how they're traumatized not how they enjoyed it

He was better off keeping that shyt to his self :yeshrug:
