The World War II-era “Simple Sabotage Field Manual” is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.
nick ( @nick@midwest.social ) English22•2 months agoHuh I wonder why that would be.
Atelopus-zeteki ( @Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io ) 12•2 months agoI wonder, could it just be a coincidence?
nick ( @nick@midwest.social ) English8•2 months agoProbably just going to be one of those mysteries we will never solve.
BETYU ( @BETYU@moist.catsweat.com ) 4•2 months agothis was to fight real fascism not just the people you don’t like.
WatDabney ( @WatDabney@fedia.io ) 31•2 months agoWhich is exactly why it’s relevant today.
Fascists don’t magically stop being fascists just because you happen to hate the same people they do.
BETYU ( @BETYU@moist.catsweat.com ) 4•2 months agothey do if you delude the meaning of what a Fascists is. in that way we can all be Fascists because it does not mean anything anymore. and who do you think that helps. that’s what happens when you play with the meaning of words they become meaningless.
WatDabney ( @WatDabney@fedia.io ) 28•2 months agoRight, but in the case of the current US and the current administration, the term is accurate.
Fascism is a far-right (check) political ideology characterized by authoritarianism (check), extreme nationalism (check), and the suppression of opposition (check), often led by a dictatorial leader (check). It emphasizes the subordination of individual interests to the perceived good of the nation or race (check) and typically involves a centralized autocratic government (check).
BETYU ( @BETYU@moist.catsweat.com ) 1•2 months agoyou just say that because your not politically aligned with the current administration. you would support all of this if it was your side doing it and you would be a lot more rigid and forgiving in your definition of Fascists for them. for your political opponents a very broad definition of fascism. for the side you Aline with a very narrow rigid definition of fascism to be lot more forgiving. calling people fascists is just a political game that most people eye roll at now. it has lost all its effect its politically meaningless the only thing it does now is show your a lefty or a communist. and people eye roll at that to.
WatDabney ( @WatDabney@fedia.io ) 19•2 months agoIt’s really sort of astonishing that every single thing you said here is wrong. And mostly misspelled to boot.
BETYU ( @BETYU@moist.catsweat.com ) 1•2 months agoare you going to correct me? if not nobody cares.
WatDabney ( @WatDabney@fedia.io ) 9•2 months agoI clearly and concisely supported my contention that the term “fascist” is appropriate to this administration.
You responded with a string of laughably false ad hominems, painfully transparent paychological projection and a pathetic attempt to just dismiss my argument out of hand. The one thing you did NOT respond with is even the faintest trace of intellectual integrity, so there’s no point in trying to pursue thecdebate any further.
Oh and… a thing that people like you seem to generally fail to grasp - you don’t really fool anyone. The lurkers can see what you’re doing just as clearly as I can.
...m... ( @myrrh@ttrpg.network ) English10•2 months agowe can all be Fascists because it does not mean anything anymore.
…oh, but it does…
