Good short-term cure for acute fascists, but the long-term cure for fascism is to run society so the vast majority of people are very happy, so they don’t fall for con artists who promise to relieve their misery.
Even with growing disparity between the ultra wealthy and regular people most people in developed countries still score very highly for human development with a lot of freedoms, access to health, education and live reasonably prosperous lives by historical standards.
Its been a long time since most of us saw widespread famine or war or plagues decimating our populations. There is good reason to demand more social and economic progress which you would think would increase the appeal of that and not the politics of self destruction. There is no sane reason to burn it all down for most people.
Yet fascism still seems to be in a massive resurgence. Something really odd is happening. There is a huge information war that has seriously undermined society. It has taken over many religious groups, outsider groups like conspiracy believers and alt health, and conservative leaning parties. It is in online gaming and image boards and normie social media. It preys on social immature males appealing to their insecurities. It preys on people looking for spiritual connections and community. Seeing peace and love hippies standing side by side with Christians and full on Nazis is fucking weird but I saw it during COVID.
The fascists were always there but they were not a political force and there is no reason they should ever be again. Not sure why it is happening or why we are letting it happen. It is certainly not in our interests. It always ends badly.
The shitstain Stewart Rhodes lost his eyeball when he attempted to clean a loaded pistol. Yep, there are dumb fucking idiots with guns.
My wife shot herself in the eye with a confetti cap gun last night trying to see if it was loaded. She literally pointed it at her face and pulled the trigger.
Just because many idiots operate it doesn’t mean everyone who uses it is an idiot. Tell me again, how did the Nazi regime collapse in the 40s?
You realized they just posted the full quote of what Hitchcock was saying and you’re arguing it when you posted the image it was based on?
Idiots and operating things is right.
So brainrotten, you dont even understand who your allies and enemies are.
🤓👆
Why do you even post a meme when you’re going to do this to people who literally showed up here to agree with you
Villain is literally in his name
I thought it was the other guy at first who posted the same thing in disagreement and I’m at work doing other things. I can post whatever I want lol who cares. Also I didn’t disagree with anyone, just asked a question and got accusations and called brainrot. Imagine the brainrot of using moronic internet speak. That person is a hostile nerd regardless of what they think lol.
edit: Please keep using your impotent downvotes that don’t federate to my instance
Lol at this fragility
I don’t think you should operate a keyboard, but obviously you do.
Why would I care what you think?
You just asked them a question…
Guns are ubiquitous because idiots can operate them. Many of the guys who took down Hitler were dummies.
Who is more fascist? 🤣
The real quote where he mocks violent idiots (after presenting it as a cure for insomnia):
Oh my god, it is almost like people use memes to communicate ideas that are different than the original source.
Not all violence is equal. The only way to stop a Nazi is to bash them. If you deny that, you’re a liberal which is a fascist collaborator. You’re going to sleep walk your way into Nazism.
The only way to stop a Nazi is to bash them.
There’s another, more effective and less violent and non-solipsistic way. A great deal of the power of fascism stems from their economic position. Guys like Zuck and Elon are dangerous because of their enormous wealth, not merely because of their toxic political views.
And since you can’t just Luigi Mangione the problem of economic elitism, you need collective action at an economic level to starve out the beast.
Incidentally, the “starve the beast” strategy is a conservative approach historically espoused and employed by Grover Norquist, Tom DeLay, and now (via the guise of DEI) Bill Ackman, Peter Thiel, and Donald Trump. Its incredibly effective, because it eliminates the ability of the opposition to effectively organize and administer large groups of professionals.
Plenty of broke Nazis out there…
They’re not the ones in the White House flipping switches
You’re a right wing troll undermining the leftist message.
If you think nonviolence is core to the left wing, you need to go ahead and find a nice subreddit to join. Liberals aren’t left wing.
Liberals are left wing and theyre only non violent when its unnecessary
Nice deflection. Nothing about leftism or anarchism involves eschewing violence. Read some fucking theory lib. You’re spewing liberal bullshit designed to empower fascists. You have to fight to win, so you’ve already lost, loser.
I always love these “conversations”.
You want to achieve 80% of the same things I do, but you’re non violent so fuck you LiB!!
You’re a right wing troll.
You came out swinging defending someone suggesting we murder leftists in response to a meme talking about the necessity of armed resistance against fascism.
Nope. You don’t even believe that. Your CIA handler told you to pretend to believe it.
The person you were defending outright suggested this meme, violence as a measure to stop fascism, be extended to Leftists. What did you mean to do?
You’re a liberal troll

I’m a right wing troll because I want to… checks notes: protect myself, my family and my community against fascists and right wingers.
Personally, I’d prefer a larger caliber for Nazi hunting.
nooo we have to debate them in the marketplace of ideas and then ultimately let them win 😭😭😭
We have better applicators now that can cure a plethora of fascists in one swift move.
Medical technology sure has come a long way. I cant imagine why anyone would be doubtful of it
Things that would garner negative attention today, but that were still pretty cool way back when.
Rectally works best
What video is this from?
Nice un
It’s not weed in that bong is it
Point of order. How many applications of cure has Alfred Hitchcock personally administered?
From his Wikipedia page
Hitchcock was too young to enlist when the First World War started in July 1914, and when he reached the required age of 18 in 1917, he received a C3 classification (“free from serious organic disease, able to stand service conditions in garrisons at home … only suitable for sedentary work”).[37] He joined a cadet regiment of the Royal Engineers and took part in theoretical briefings, weekend drills and exercises. John Russell Taylor wrote that, in one session of practical exercises in Hyde Park, Hitchcock was required to wear puttees. He could never master wrapping them around his legs, and they repeatedly fell down around his ankles.
So, none.
