  • do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

  • I just went to school in Italy.

    This should tell you how guilty of fascism is everyone in Italy who even just entertains the idea to reproduce completely or in part laws similar to the ones of the guy.

    L'unico fascista buono è il fascista morto.

    Why in western democratic countries Zionism is not banned like Nazism?

  • I mean, Jews were prohibited from having most reputable high jobs and the only thing that matched the Torah and was allowed in Christian (maybe later Catholic) Europe was money lending.

    In Rome, my parents' generation still calls stingy people "giudío" meaning Jew, since of course they were bound to be more attached to money and less prone to charity than most.

    From having that reputation and managing lots of debt, to having the finger pointed at, it's an easy quick step.

  • If you want to count official Hamas members as military opponents, civilian casualties in Gaza dwarf the ones of WWII in ratio.

    Also, while I am not so knowledgeable about the Zionist mythos, I know that other territories and populations, which Israel already attacked repeatedly, are meant to be subjugated in the larger plan.

    I guess we can all agree that getting to see how far they can resemble the nazis is not an itch we should scratch.

  • I didn't read your "powerful" as an adjective qualifying the fascists, but as one qualifying the countries susceptible to see the rise of fascism, and in the case of Italy, both are wrong.

    Also, just like the Danish government nowadays, Mussolini came from a Leftist background and later started applying authoritarian and later totalitarian policies and measures.

  • You called 1920s Italy "powerful"?! As an Italian...let's say I remain baffled.

  • I mean, before starting with Zyclon-B, also the Nazis wanted the Jews to just move to Madagascar.

    So I really just see a temporal offset.

    I'll wait here.

  • You can put all religious people in the same basket.

    People who compromise on logic to create a made up coalition of people with arbitrary rules to contrast other such people or, you know, humanity at large.

  • I love Batman (currently replaying the Rocksteady games for the 3rd time) and I grew up with him and cannot really relate to Superman since I am not a farm boy. But it is very easy to see how Batman is in fact a fascist-capitalist fantasy.

    A rich man who takes things in his own hands on a whim, infiltrating public order tech, hoarding personal data on virtually everyone in Gotham (at least) if not resorting to real-time surveillance by infiltrating personal devices (in The Dark Knight).

    The idea that he "does good" by deciding a subset of all possible activities on which to spend his money and never spends himself on releasing that decision power to the public is exactly what brought the US where they are and what they hate viscerally about the EU (even if the sliding is real here as well).

  • That is actually good news. Means that people more likely to be "normies" are adopting an alternative solution.

    Seeing shit like this kills me. People are so ignorant.

    Jump

  • In Italy, in our Humanist association we used "credini" for all religious people.

    "Cretini" means "idiots" (originally "affected by cretinism", the developmental syndrome caused by iodine deficit during pregnancy).

    "Credere" is the verb meaning "to believe".

    So it could be read as "believing idiots".

    Always loved it and have been trying to replicate it somehow in English ever since.

  • I am not an American and I have never been a Superman fan. I had fun, I felt represented, I was entertained, cannot wait for a sequel, am looking forward for Peacemaker S2 and whatever else is planned.

    Warmly recommended. I really think all Americans should see it, as it may have a very good and stronger effect on them.

  • I am absolutely with you.

    Also people should learn the difference between empathy and sympathy, the latter not as fatiguing and difficult to develop and often more useful.

  • I just came out of watching the new movie.

    In the scene in which Clark gets interviewed, seen also in the trailer, it is transparent that Superman is with Francesca Albanese on a very current issue.

    That's what they are mad about.

    I guess WB/DC is gonna fall out of grace.
