I didn't realize these guys had other music πŸ˜‚

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

They are a pretty semi-famous punk rock band, if you know punk rock.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

One of the greatest punk songs ever.

Future fascists will call themselves antifascists - Winston Churchill

Never said that, and it doesn't even make sense at all, but for some reason fascists love that imaginary quote.

They're just not good when it comes to logic or reasoning.

Well, yes, but let's also not put too much weight on group names.

If I knew this meme's existence I would have spent 45 minutes writing this response to an idiot

"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."- Jean Paul Sartre

The same principle applies to fascists who say they are not fascists despite doing fascist things. Don't try to discredit their statement word by word; just cut to the chase and discredit their broad worldview with more terse responses. You are letting them play you by nitpicking minutae of their bad faith arguments.

Explains a lot about Faux News, doesn't it?

I'm pretty sure they admit and enjoy being fascists. That's like their whole thing.

Also, they get very very angry if anyone calls them fascists, because that's not fair, and also you are the fascist in fact

If only there was a political faction where not caring about the truth and arguing violently in this emotional and self contradictory manner were one of the early stage hallmarks, we could stick a label on them

[–] marcela@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

No, they don't self-id as fascists. We have to indulge them in their delusion. /sarcasm

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

It’s exactly what they wanted. They wanted to use their vote as a weapon

Don't worry, fascism is in no way exclusive.
