>Yes, but also the ones on the way to authoritarianism, as was argued the Trump regime is. Democrats/leftists/ANTIFA don't hate authoritarianism, They hate that they're not the ones in charge of dealing the authoritarianism on their opposition, as shown by the masked mob gestapo they set up in Minnesota doing "papers please, you're either with us or against us" on civilians passing by to confirm they hate ICE. If Kam…

Antifa doesn't beat up innocent people, it does society a service by beating up fascists. It's in the name, antifascists. They rose from the fascism of the 20th century and have a proud history of fighting the original Nazis. God bless them for carrying on the good fight!

There are studies on it but the conclusions are pretty thin right now because data collection is hard, but I'd say youre right https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00104140241306955

hasn't this been pretty clear since Cambridge Analytica?

I'd agree clear, verifiable much harder. As long as the issue remains hard to prove Im not sure what we can do to fix it.

Not sure why this is flagged? One of the largest social media platforms in the industry changed ownership, its user base is noticing an unexplained change in functionality? Surely that warrants a discussion among tech people?

There is a certain proto-fascist contingent here that sees it to their duty to stifle all discussion critical of the regime.

By now it’s confirmed full-blown fascism. Nothing proto about it.

> Because if it were actual fascism, like the Hitler/Mussolini kind, you'd be arrest/dead the moment you spoke anything against it. It looks like you have paramilitaries roaming your streets - not wearing ID or proper uniforms, covering their faces to avoid identification, not answering to usual democratic controls - executing protestors. In the latest incident, they seemed to be beating and spraying a woman with a c…

>>covering their faces to avoid identification Covering their faces to avoid doxing and being attacked at their homes.

Weird how normal police (or almost any other actual LEO) doesn't have to do this, especially considering how bad their reputation in the US is.

Yes, police are trained to always fire multiple shots at threats.

Again, not police. Armed goons.

They don't stop being police just because you want it to be so. You can tell yourself that, but the government disagrees with you.

>What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? November 1921 (Munich): During a speech at an NSDAP rally in a beer hall, an unknown assailant fired shots at Hitler from the crowd amid a melee, but he escaped unharmed. 1923 (Thuringia): An unidentified person attempted to shoot Hitler during a rally, but Nazi supporters outnumbered opponents, forcing the attacker to flee. 1923 (Memmingen): Another unknown in…

at what point do you start to question your worldview, when you are actively complaining about the "fascist tactics" used by people who tried to kill Hitler himself?

I wasn't, but thanks for proving my point: If everyone calls their opposition fascists in order to justify killing them, who's the fascist then?

As per history proves, the ones who lose the battle are the fascist, since both the allies and soviets were guilty of the same atrocities in their colonies that they accused the nazis of.

He was shot eleven times to the back of his head .

>eleven times to the back of his head Please stop making up stuff.

Are you arguing about the number of shots or the location?

SWAT also covers their face.

Not if you label me as fascist, if I were to fit the definition of fascist.

Umberto Ecos Ur-Fascism might be worth a read.

Fascism isn't just "things I don't like". It's specific behavioral patterns that lead to the worst crimes in modern history and that must be stomped out at any cost. Words have meanings.
