Like Hitler burning books or Stalin purging artists or something like that.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

anyway I managed to ctrl-c this before it closed
I think our political contexts are reversed
the majority are the good guys for me
the revolutionaries for me are the ones who want to fight against multiculturalism, feminism, tolerance and progressiveness
I was thinking of a more personal fascism, you know?

Stalin was a fascist?
Not a fan of using fascist as a synonym for authoritarian. It's a specific ideology!
finally. art we can all agree on.
I'm so mad that it's always the far-right haters who are always willing to put boots on the ground and shoot guns in the air
my side endorses neither shoes nor guns

Anyway, I support this [chat] and want it to succeed as a small rebellion against the oppressive system under which we labour.
I think russia under his rule hit enough of the fascist checkmarks for it to be a valid label

then you're still in the middle
there is a sweet spot where the intelligentsia occupies a revolutionary role in an authoritarian state. after the Wall actually fell, polish intellectuals suddenly found their podium swamped by the people they worked to liberate
there was a talk here, the other day, that pointed out that singapore rapidly moved from having local artists rigidly regulated/intimidated to having literally more days with arts festivals than days without in the year. in both situations, the state is happy; any revolutionary content is discredited by the cheap sex and melodrama that dominate when art is easy.
It's got the Gold star and everything, but I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off with a high Might
I want to build two-handed melee warrior focusing more on DPS than tanking
Edit: Like, I'm looking at Chanters now. Constitution is gold starred - why? Why not Might instead? They both give a Fortitude bonus, and a Chanter is supposed to be DPSing things, at least relative to a Fighter or Paladin
the lack of a mixed economy is the main thing that disqualifies it
It’s not a very important country most of the time

Not really. Evil is evil for its own sake. It's not that they really think that, to use a more modern example, Pussy Riot is going to lead a glorious youth revolution against the entrenched kleptocracy of Russia; they are vain, malicious, and devoid of any redeeming moral qualities, so harming those who oppose them is not just a means, it is an end.
then again the dictator's playbook doesn't seem to differ that much from regime to regime
If you aren't fighting for the constitution then what kind of patriot are you? What are you fighting for?
I thought this was America!
Fair enough.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
despotism is, if not an ideology, at least always very familiar
I've always considered that a mistake. Just because you are the good guys doesn't mean you cannot or should not use many of the same tools, just towards a different end. The idea that just because our ultimate goals are peace, human dignity, development, equality, fraternity, etc. that we must allow insidious elements to develop like a cancer within our societies and poison us from within, or allow the barbarians outside the gates to hammer at our civilization to drag us back into perdition is absurd. Weakness is not virtue.
and then starting to pack and shit
I think maybe another pint of old fashioned made with terrible scotch
cheap, cheap scotch
I am thrifty not trashy
There's so many horrifying things in this post
it's so perfectly Abdhyius

I blame eddy.
And abuse of power and the use of violence and force is not strength.
I mean, I love that game so much but I never noticed it and I really like that phrase
anyway, the end does not crown the work
