did world war 2 merely stall an inevitable trend of fascism?

i think its a really mega trend. fascism was a reaction to kingdoms turning into modern nations. this time populism is a result of modern nations turning into global pieces.

Yes and there's the industrial revolution and digital revolutions as waves underneath these.

First thing to do is find out what "fascism" is. Most people are clueless about that. One excellent example of a fascist organization is Antifa (what an ironic name). Their goal is to shut down opposing ideas by force, and that's what fascist governments do (again, look up the word in the fucking dictionary). If you're going to accuse someone of being fascist, you need to show examples of fascist behavior. Guess who I'm vaguely referring to here...

When I 1st read this topic I thought it was silly but now Im reading it the New York Times

And what does that tell you about the New York Times? That it's lying about Trump? Or is it just trying to mislead its readers by implying stuff that it has no evidence of... Do the same examination of other rumor-spreading fake news organizations and make your own determination, folks. See which ones allow readers to comment on their "stories" and articles. See which ones never present both sides of an argument. Decide which ones can be relied upon for actual news (all of it) and which ones actually suppress news.

There is no news that can be relied upon this is why the reader needs to take in multiple sources and viewpoints.

Fascism isn't inevitable if people get off their asses and vote.

Bolivar

That's what happened in 2016, and it's a good beginning. More people are finding out that they've been lied to, and the liars are in full panic mode at this point.

Even Eisenhower, the General who defeated fascism saw what would happen. He became the President of the US and devoted his farewell speech to a warning of the future he correctly saw.

Paine's Pamphlets 1/10

Forget Ike, Benjamin Franklin saw what would happen after helping write the constitution. He saw it as a temporary document that would require re-writing.

"it is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism"

As if it to prove the words they have been suppressed since he wrote them.

Bolivar

What's the source of that Franklin comment? I can't find it.

Imoneverything

Its Franklin's Final Speach On The Constitution. What a guy, should be an inspiration for every bigga.

Thanks, seems Paine is stretching the context a bit.

Absoloutly, annoymous buyers are subject to a bigger risk as they have no way to rate. Better of having a profile to prevent this.

A.D.D.MEN 9.5/10

There is no anonymous posting or voting on little biggy but for some reason people can click “buy” without registering, this offers no additional security (a throw away account is for all practical purposes the same risk) but creates several problems.

Buyers are subject to worse treatment as they lose the power to rate the seller.

Buyers get no reputation and never have an even hand in transactions.
