More or less, yes. It's the satisfaction that comes from power.
The main ingredients of fascism are fear (urgency) and a desire to reclaim a power once held, like in a birthright sense. A result of this is that the power they hold now is a result of the fear they've fostered, which means they quite literally cannot survive people becoming unafraid. There must always be a group of people to hate, even amongst each other, or the kingdom they've built vanishes.
To be fair, I tend to think most people on lemmy are old enough to remember You're The Man Now Dog and think of Twitch as that site their son uses. They don't really know either.
Pepe is actually a reclaimed racist meme. Most of this 4chan racism about the frog is from 2016 or so. If you're ever on twitch, you'll see it all over the place because it's a huge part of their culture.
Authoritarians, which are not unrelated to racism, if left alone, will start stripping rights from each other. In a spherical cow sense, they can't really bond with each other because they fundamentally hate other people, like as a concept. This is also sorta why their social media sites never take off.
it works if people on the left are celebrating.
No, it doesn't. You are castrating yourself before the enemy.
What public mandate allows conservatives the crackdown on liberal cities if nobody cares about the excuse they give?
Yeah, and they were wrong. So, oppose Biden's, propose the other.
What you're describing is a logistics problem.
This square handle?
I can't find any rectangle rods even looking for "shovel square handle".
I tolerate that one.
giving the administration the power to illegalize speech
Why would we give trump that power?
I mean, we could give him the power to illegalize nazi speech specifically. That would be fine. I bet he wouldn't use it.
I don't think you're thinking about this strategically. If you were playing magic the gathering, does hurting your opponent's life points mean they get to hurt yours now? Do you have to lower all your defenses so they can get a turn? No. We don't have to illegalize leftist speech either.
If they ever try to, be very angry.
Which is why we should not support outlawing views as in the post.
Hector, the Trump admin was doing this yesterday. They don't care what lows you're willing to sink to, they're already thirteen levels deeper.
I'd like to raise a few points:
I can't tell you if bella ciao is a popular alt-right meme because I don't hang out with them, but I can tell you it's far from impossible.
I'm speaking particularly of chat emotes. I still see it all the time, but it may vary by channel.
