Wikipedia, huh?

Were Hitler and Mussolini fascist or communist? How about Stalin?
- Michael Pachla

Hitler and Mussolini were fascist socialists not communist.

Stalin was a communist but was unique are created Stalinism. Its hard to label Stalin because he had a mixture of ideologies.

Deaths in FL, GA, and TX are plateaued.

May 1st in NY there were 299 deaths, 64 on June 1st.

Florida: 46 on 5/1, 9 at the bottom of a trough, 90 the next day.

Texas: 34 on the downswing 50 the day before down to 17 by the 4th, 6 at the bottom of a trough on 6/1 up to 36 by the 3rd.

Georgia: 33 on 5/1 in the middle of going down to 5 by the 3rd, up to 64 on the 4th, and 24 on what appears to be another upswing on 6/4.

Plus just looking at the graphs over the last month there's not much improvement, lots of rollercoastering, but not a ton progress. Yes, the scale is higher for NY, but there's a definite decrease from a peak of 231 which was 30 days ago to a low of 42 which is the last day of the graph, 6/4. Florida had 69 on 5/8 and 70 on 6/2. Georgia was all over the place.

These are from Google, whose source is Wikipedia, I don't trust the states very much, Georgia already got caught manipulating their public graphs by moving dates around on the X-axis to make themselves look better.










What does all of that mean? (frank) if I know, but deaths seem to be a better indicator of what the virus is doing because there's one less variable, deaths are deaths, positive tests can be from a number of different things.

It's near summertime. The virus counts should be going down.

Don't worry about it. If you don't know who Kardi B is I am not going to explain it to you.
- sabresfan69

I know who Kardi B is.

I just don't understand the rest of the nonsense in your answer and how it relates to the question it might have responded to.

I think Malcom X would see Kaepernick as a tool of the white man.
- sabresfan69

Wow.

I don't know what you're watching or reading or listening to but, I'm done. Shovel your sh!t in someone else's direction

Does it trouble you at all that in your world its BLACK rappers who should be condemned for violent lyrics?

If you stop to think for a minute, after you see everyone is capable of being a douche, "HMMMM, maybe my first thought shouldn't be to think it's the blacks that are the bad ones," maybe that would help you to understand that black people, have in fact for centuries are ALWAYS thought at first to be the bad ones.

And that it is sometimes true. But that it is also sometimes true that white people are the bad ones. And yet black people who have done NOTHING wrong are from first thought suspected.

It may some people view the flag as a symbol of a country that way too often has that mistaken first thought. And that may have something to do with why even NFL people want to kneel instead of respecting that symbol. And that same mistaken first thought might be what made Drew Brees decide to apologize for saying its always wrong to kneel instead of stand before that symbol.
- Der Kaiser

Or that 53% of violent crimes and 60% percent of murders have made people scared of anything someone does. There's good and bad in every race, there's no doubt about that, but perception goes a long way with creating what people think.

Kardi B admitted to drugging and robbing men and you hear her song on the radio.

Black or white athletes commit a crime and they are banned from sports.

Not sure race has anything to do with it since they are also different genders but definitely thuggery is romanticized in music.

They should also be positive role models.
- sabresfan69

Why? Because they're famous? Most famous people are more (frank)ed up than normal people.

Don't worry about it. If you don't know who Kardi B is I am not going to explain it to you.
- sabresfan69

Cardi B ?

No, as we are humans we evolve and so does the English language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_fascism

The most prominent early user of the term left fascism (linker Faschismus) was Jürgen Habermas, a sociologist and philosopher influenced by the Frankfurt School. Habermas used the term in the 1960s to distance the Frankfurt School from the violence and authoritarianism of left-wing terrorists and to criticize the violent methods of protest of the Sozialistischer Deutscher Studentenbund.
- sabresfan69[8] – he later called his usage of the term an ″overreaction″, and retracted his accusation

Antifa is 100% fascist. Thank god the FBI is investigating them.

The word fascism still means the same thing it has always meant. Attaching modifers before the word to create a new term with an entirely different meaning doesn't change the meaning of the original, unmodified word.

You repeatedly used the word fascism or fascist in your posts when none of them were about fascism.

Why? Because they're famous? Most famous people are more (frank)ed up than normal people.
- Wetbandit1

Very True, but there the one's that have the platforms to create change and most times they don't.

Wow.

- Michael Pachla

You ask me a question and then you don't like the answer so you call it sh!t

Was it Kaepernick's idea to kneel? NO
Was it a white man's idea to kneel? YES

Did Malcom X like white people's idealogy? NO.

What more do you want? It wasn't Kaep's idea to kneel but tell me how Malcom X wouldn't see the plot behind Kaep?

Cardi B ?
- Pegullaville

Cardi B admitted to drugging and robbing men.

Its not a very good role model for minorities.

Athletes get banned while musicians get their music played more.

I think Malcom X would see Kaepernick as a tool of the white man.
- sabresfan69

Malcolm X would have thought Kaepernick's protest too peaceful to accomplish anything. MLK would have knelt with Kap. Malcolm X would have been in the streets with the protesters.

I’m not disagreeing with you. Just wanted to make sure we had the same person haha

- JetpackJesus

He's all yours.

He's all yours.
- Michael Pachla

Ya because Malcom X loved white people and would have no problem with a white guy telling a black guy to get down on one knee.

You are delusional if you think that.

Well let's hope the brutality stops, cause more deaths are gonna occur if it doesn't.

- sabresfan69

No, it was a white Green Beanie who told him sitting was wrong and that he should kneel instead.

I don't understand why the police can't determine when to use force and when not to be a thug.

Pushing a senior is disgusting.
- sabresfan69

Yep. At some point, there's common sense. I don't care what the protocol for that situation is, but if I'm the cop and a 75 year old guy is walking towards me, i'm telling him (while holding onto his arm or shoulder) "sir, come over here with me, we don't want you getting hurt". My first reaction certainly isn't shoving him in the chest with enough force to knock the 75 year old onto the ground. Who does that ? That's insane.

Insanity is at a all time high right now, and it doesn't seem to be getting better.

Drew Brees forced to apologize for standing during the national anthem

Can the left be anymore fascist?
- sabresfan69

he did not understand thats why

he did not understand thats why

This is creepy and weird.

Tensions are at a ridiculous level. Cops are being targeted and killed. They are on high alert. Was the outcome of this incident extremely unfortunate, absolutely, but nobody has an F’n clue what can happen with a 16 year old, 75 year old, male or female right now. The news has already made him out to be a “peaceful protester and human rights activist”, yet he posted F the Police on his Twitter. I actually wish the police would take the weekend off. Better yet relocate them out to the suburbs and let downtown have their nonviolent community task force. I will gladly take them out here.

Fascism is far right.

If Antifa, a far left organization was actually a far right, Fascist group, they wouldn't be Antifa, which is short for anti-fascist.

What always stuck out to me as the main characteristic of a fascist was their having zero tolerance for an opposing opinion. The main thing that I saw the two warring fascist leaders Hitler and Stalin had in common was how they crushed all opposition within their country, and kept them silent. Only their opinion mattered.
I think a "liberal" being called fascist is in regard to the "having no tolerance for an opposing opinion". I guess it'd be more accurate to say that some anti-fascists have more in common with fascists than they'd like to think? Or, It's ok to behave similarly to a fascist as long as I'm fighting fascism?

Fascism, nationalism, dictatorship, democracy. These are political systems.

Capitalist, socialist, communist, feudalism. These are economic models.

Hitler was not a fascist. Stalin was not a fascist.

Politics isn't a line, it's a circle, and the extremists of either bent have more in common than separates them; mostly a few talking points, but they're otherwise indistinguishable. Except you don't see too many black Proud Boys.
