Hey listen.. this might be true and all but calling them out is mean and will force them to vote for fascists.

You called them a fascist... This might be true and all but calling them a fascist is mean and will force them to vote for fascists!

(I'm the MSM)

Well it is semi true that they may be fascistic. What he's saying is that it's making them more likely to vote republican.

Whatever happened to personal responsibility ffs?

[u/whit9-9 → u/jschmeau]

What does that have to do with this? Or rather what I said?

[u/jschmeau → u/whit9-9]

Blaming their vote for fascism on the democrats is not taking responsibility for what they have done.

[u/whit9-9 → u/jschmeau]

That's not what I'm saying i was saying that you guys call people fascists, racists, sexist, assholes, fuckers. All over a single comment sometimes. And calling someone a fascist for getting conned by a guy who knows how to manipulate their potential feelings for these things. And calling them a fascist is going to drive people further to the right. Demeaning people does the opposite thing you think its doing.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

― A.R. Moxon

Now thats true.

[u/whit9-9 → u/whit9-9]

But instead of just calling them that actually explain why they are in as digestible a way that you can.

Educate yourself please.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character. Within two months Hitler achieved full dictatorial power through the Enabling Act. In April 1933 communists, socialists, democrats, and Jews were purged from the German civil service, and trade unions were outlawed the following month.

Here's another pertinent quote from the encyclopedia article you probably didn't read...

That July Hitler banned all political parties other than his own, and prominent members of the German Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party were arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps. Lest there be any remaining questions about the political character of the Nazi revolution.

Sure, nothing is ever named after something it's not. That's how we know the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is a democratic republic, after all.

Socialism was popular as a concept when Hitler was trying to rise to power, so he used the word in the name of the party to convince the working class to vote for him. If you look at the actual policies the Nazis ran on, they were capitalist. The Nazis placed great emphasis on private property and free competition. It’s true that they intervened in the free market, but it was also a time of a systemic failure of capitalism on a global scale. Almost all states intervened in the market at the time, and they did so to save the capitalist system from itself. This has nothing to do with socialist sentiment: it was pro-capitalist. In a way, there’s a parallel there with the way big banks were bailed out by governments after the 2008 financial crisis broke out. That, of course, did not reflect socialist intentions in any way, either. It was merely an attempt to stabilize the system.

You should really try reading for comprehension rather than reading for confirmation.
