...could fascism rise in the United States after it's been crushed abroad? What can we do to prevent it? #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

Discussion and debate can only work if all parties agree to talk in GOOD FAITH.

To me, good faith generally means that each party commits to:

  1. The presumption of a shared, objective reality
  2. Stating one’s position (and motivation) honestly and clearly; and sincerely trying to appreciate the other’s position
  3. Not deliberately deploying lies, fallacies, or gish-gallop tactics to manipulate the other

In other words, good faith discussion is a cooperative activity, not an adversarial one.

The loudest people who “demand debate”do not meet the standard of Good Faith. It’s a waste of your time to debate these people; you’ll never change their mind, but you will give them delicious content as they “own” you live on camera.

Although right-wing bad-faith debaters is almost a tradition at this point, I’ve also seen too many clips of progressives “owning” conservatives using dishonest, bad-faith tactics. This is not merely a right-wing problem.

As soon as the fascists were in control of the government, the torturings and the killings were no longer the unlawful acts of a political party and its hoodlum gangs. They became official government policy. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

The phrase of the day in the mainstream news media appears to be "center-left". Are you a democratic politician who takes lots of money from AIPAC and loyally votes to send billions of tax dollars to Israel to murder Palestinian children? Congratulations, you're "center-left"! Do you collect tons of cash from the military industrial complex and vote for every war and military bill possible? Nice to meet a center-left patriot! Have you been proud to raise your hand and vote to fund ICE and the DHS? You center-left types are SO attractive! Did you seize control of Germany and start World War II? You may be center-left! Seriously, it's like someone just sent out an email or something and ordered the media to call every right-wing Democrat "center-left". It's creepy! #politics #CenterLeft #fascism #propaganda

In a written ruling Tuesday, Mehta said he was dismissing the #OathKeepers’ charges reluctantly at the request of the #DOJ. He criticized prosecutors for claiming in a court filing that wiping out the most serious convictions from the #Jan6 riot was in the public interest.

Mehta had sentenced Rhodes to 18 years in prison & imposed lesser prison terms on other top #OathKeepers who were #convicted at #jury trials. #Trump commuted those prison sentences on his first day in office last year, & he pardoned more than 1,500 rioters. #whitewashing #RevisionistHistory #propaganda #law #ElectionInterference #BigLie #coup #Jan6 #SeditiousConspiracy #authoritarianism #autocracy #dictatorship #fascism #tyranny

Fascism — whether in Germany or Japan or Italy — has never been secretive about its glorification of war and its aim of world conquest. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

RE: https://www.psicospace.it/come-disinformazione-e-odio-stanno-avvelenando-la-democrazia/ La paura non nasce sempre dai fatti: spesso viene costruita, amplificata e trasformata in consenso, visibilità e denaro. Dalla crisi di Ceuta alla propaganda sui social, questo articolo racconta come persone in difficoltà e cittadini impauriti possano diventare strumenti dello stesso meccanismo. Riconoscerlo è il primo passo per non farsi usare. @attualita #Disinformazione #Propaganda #Violenza #Democrazia #FakeNews #PensieroCritico #Ceuta #SocialMedia #Informazione

We have had our hooded gangs, Black Legions, Silver Shirts, and racial and religious bigots. All of them, in the name of Americanism, have used undemocratic methods and doctrines which experience has shown can be properly identified as "fascist." #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-Americanism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive. They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Americanism." #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda

Everything is a made-for-TV show for #Trump, to magnify his "excellence" & "prowess".🚨"Trump has been considering strikes akin to a 'fireworks'🎆display... which could hit either the same or similar sites...🚨in the hopes of a symbolic victory that would allow him to exit the war🚨w/o actually accomplishing one of his initial aims: ridding Iran of its nuclear program." #Propaganda #Loser #Kakistocracy #Impeach #Fascism #IranWar #Waste #Fraud #Corruption #USPol https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/politics/us-military-iran-war-troops-punish

Great talk with Lara Sheehi on her latest book From the Clinic to the Streets, Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures. Very worthwhile for everyone resisting this destructive status quo and wanting to create better futures. No one is free until everyone is free. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vzNldKvHvb8 @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com @bookstodon@fedigroups.social #Resistance #propaganda #RadicalLove #FreePalestine #PsychicMilitancy #RealityBending #FranzFanon #psychology #PsychoAnalysis

Once their people were sold on the "master race" idea, it was easy for the fascists to make them feel that other people were of no more consequence than vermin. #fascism #uspol #history #propaganda
