Thanks, very interesting. It also mirrors what happened in Germany pretty much, except Hitler was farming oppression points from brawling with communists rather than jews and was much better at it.
The Battle of Cable Street was a riot that took place on Sunday 4 October 1936 in Cable Street in the East End of London. It was a clash between the Metropolitan Police, sent to protect a march by members of the British Union of Fascists, led by Oswald Mosley, and various anti-fascist demonstrators, including local anarchist, communist, Irish, Jewish and socialist groups. The majority of both marchers and counter-protesters travelled into the area for this purpose.
All of Ken Follett's romantic scenes read like an incel writing about sex. It's the same as Stephen King when writing anything related to the military.
/u/ExtracurriciularSpork it's pretty disingenuous to refer to the Blackshirts as Nazis tbh fam, British Fascism as an ideology is very different to GERMan national socialism.
It wouldn't be like antifa to thoughtlessly throw words around to the point where they lose all meaning though would it
u/ExtracurricularSpork I think you should be more worried about mud people raping women while the police and govt officials ignore it while at the same time cracking down on people writing mean things on the internet.
Do you see this moral and societal degeneration happening in your average Muslim country? I'll answer that for you: fuck no, because they don't let this degeneracy slide, like fucking liberal CUCKS in the USA. There's only one solution, and that is for everyone to convert to Islam.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) didn't tolerate degeneracy like promiscuity or gender bending—nay! He mandated the ostracization and execution of adulterers, and made sure they would not become commonplace or accepted by the rest of the community. He made sure to establish clear gender roles and didn't tolerate this "casual sex" trash.
In the meantime, you have Western society accepting whores, gays, slut pride, gender-mixing, topfreedom, prostitution, new genders, no genders, LGBT, and who knows what else?! Western society is truly degenerating without guidance, and I fear that as time passes, these degenerate groups only gain more and more power.
Muslims and conservatives might think they're enemies, but in reality, they're closer to each other than they think! An alliance would prove very fruitful for both sides.
Just repeat the declaration of faith after me:
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله
and you'll be right on your way to becoming a great Muslim!
Imagine being /u/ExtracurricularSpork and complaining about free speech when they remove your post recommending physically assaulting people you disagree with.
"This post shows how Fascism was a failure in Britain even at its absolute peak of influence, but it's also a totally-not-exaggerated and ever present threat to our society today"
Let Pen getting as much votes as she did is just proof that leftist governments need to pull their heads out of their ass and stop being so naive and ideological. Although naive is probably being kind with the spin they actively pull on the public.
When parties continually ignore issues, you have people go to anywhere else. I would not call the positions of many European governments as forthright or moderate when it comes to immigration for instance. They are clearly lying to their citizens and the media helps by taking a role in it since their politics align. The media has long abandoned any pretense of being reporters versus advancing propaganda.
There are no immigration problems in the united states.
It is a fabricated issue the political right screeches about as a dog-whistle to their angry, uneducated base that's desperate for a scapegoat, someone or something to blame for the fact they're failures.
Mark Zuckerberg totally needs to bring in hundreds of thousands of Indians to work for him. It's not because he wants to drive down salaries and have a workforce that he can have deported on a whim. It's just that Americans won't do dangerous, unpleasant jobs like writing software. And you know you can trust him because he's not just some corporate suit. He wears a hoodie so he's gotta be one of us.
The fact Le Pen even got over 30% of the vote should be a wake up call to the western world.
Ok, so when people you don't like get too many votes that's a "wake up call", but when your buddies win the elections that's "a victory for democracy".
And literal communists get to run too, that's democracy baby.
They even were part of governments a few times, can you imagine that?
People disagreeing with me being elected?
Wew.
The way you deal with this sort of shit is as was done in Geneva in 1932: Put the military between the two factions of retards and if they throw rocks, you shoot them. Reduces the number of retards in a sustainable fashion and the remaining ones will be more civil.
November 1932 infolge von Zusammenstössen zwischen Rechts- und Linksextremen, als Rekruten der Schweizer Armee dreizehn Demonstranten bei einer Kundgebung in Genf erschossen und sechzig schwer verletzten.

Yes, it's the moderates that are to blame, not the people voting for a literal fascist because they're uneducated and misinformed.

You realize like 99% of the propaganda in relation to immigration comes directly from the political right, correct?
Why do you think fake-news is such a large problem for conservatives?

Only because the left pretends there are no problems.

John McCain was a fascist. Mitt Romney was a fascist. Scott walker Marco Rubio and ted Cruz were all fascists. Trump is a fascist.
When everyone is a fascist, nobody is a fascist.
1 pizzashill 2018-01-01
I don't think any of those people were fascists.
Ted Cruz is walking the line, he's pretty bat-shit crazy and extreme, he's just flying under the radar because of Trump.

1 old_grumpy_grandpa 2018-01-01
Okay, then people under the same flag should not be held accountable for the atrocities committed in the name of said flag a few decades before.
So why ban modern fascists, especially if they reject Hitler and Mussolini?
