  • No. It’s not. Fascists believe the world is running a giant conspiracy against them, that they are unfairly prosecuted no matter if the evidences suggest otherwise. So by that, contrary to what you believe, they belive in the possession of an inherent right, albeit often tied to an esoterical religious or pseudo scientific reason like God or the color of your skin. They also belive you don’t have, or don’t deserve to the same rights because you are the conspiracy against them.

    Fascists believes in fantasy. And what he is saying is an observable historical reality. Complete deferent thing. You cannot have rights if you cannot defend them. Black people would not be freed without civil war, workers would not have 8 hours work day and weekends without union. Every societal progress we had made is through force unrelenting. It is force, and sometime ultra violence, that we are able to secure our God damn rights.












  • In my opinion, the result of our tribalism tendency that we are currently discussing has very little to do with “instinct”, and it is rather the result of generational social conditioning we are exposed to since the day we are born; values and biases adopted unquestioningly from our caretakers, educators, and the culture and political reality that we grew up and associate with.

    If a child without preexisting established knowledge or exposure can naturally make friendly associations toward an abstract-looking plushie that has one big eye and 10 legs, which has nothing similar to the appearance of a human, then the reason they would fear or hate people of different skin color or cultures is apparent.
