ah, so, apparently, fascism is caused by decades of sexual oppression, denial, and self-hatred erupting and being directed outward at others.

this would be far more interesting if it didn't also mean the downfall of democracy.

I just listened to a Behind the Bastards episode where basically....yeah, that's been the prevailing theory.

Nazis should literally go fuck themselves

[-] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

Yep, no one else will.

[-] finley@lemm.ee 23 points 5 months ago

Obviously, I’m both being sarcastic and massively oversimplifying things. This is just one tiny splinter of the cause of fascism, not the entirety of it.

It’s all about sex, Freud was right. Even if not the homosexuality then about immigrants taking ‘our women’. It’s all because we have monkey brains

Can you remember which episode? Sounds interesting but I can’t remember if I’ve heard it yet :)

[-] rimu@piefed.social 26 points 5 months ago

That's a part of it for sure but there's a lot more going on also:

how fascism works

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Wait hold on

Why would cucks bother them? Isn't that like a conservative thing?

Am I seriously missing something here?

Honestly, I'm even more confused now. White supremacists were using it against "RINOs"

The original insult makes sense in that context (man who's spouse is unfaithful), but in this diagram it was listed with oppression of identity and sexuality. The only way my brain seems to interpret that is by assuming the word is used in its fetish form which makes even less sense to me

[-] rimu@piefed.social 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

In the diagram you can substitute that word for any non-mainstream sexual or gender thing. It really doesn't matter what - they'll scapegoat anything as long as it's a minority, elicits disgust from the in-crowd and reinforces any of the things it connects to with dashed lines.

Pedophilia is a good one because it relates to 'defending women & children', makes the enemy look weak, causes sexual anxiety and elicits [disgust](https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=conservatives disgust morality&addon=firefox&addonversion=4.1.2&method=topbar). Hence '[Save the children](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qanon %27save the children%27&t=h_&ia=web)' and all that.

The diagram maps the *conceptual* framework behind it all - it's best not to get too literal about any of the individual words.

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Ok. That makes a whole lot more sense

Genuinely wonder if there's some correlation in there. It'd be fascinating if global acceptance of homosexuality would eliminate fascist tendencies. I'd watch that movie.

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

And coke and meth.

Mostly meth. Have you seen these people?
