“Richard Spencer is pro-vaccine, atheist, pro-abortion, anti-war, pro-European unity, basically every rational/common sense position besides white supremacy. Always has been.”

oh whoops except that one little thing, teehee. further down

“He has some based positions…but for deeply and inherently racist reasons.”

you do not, under any circumstances, gotta refer to Richard Spencer as based. how are these people real

they probably think the worst thing Hitler did was shoot down ASBO laws when Himmler proposed them on the basis they are too draconian.

It is worth noting that while Himmler first proposed them the first politician to implement them was Tony Blair

bet if you look into it he’s in favor of black/disabled/jewish/etc people being forced or heavily encouraged/coerced to get abortions and neo-liberals are so ghoulish they can’t tell the difference (note they did not say pro choice they said pro abortion)

also because neo-liberals don’t believe in structures if the coersion is in any way abstracted away from literal SS officers in jackboots marching people in they won’t believe there is any. If the abstraction of violence is through the market/poverty or because neo-liberals are just stupid if the uniforms are LAPD rather than having skulls on them

If a fascist bleeds when a liberal is scratched, can’t fascists scab over and become liberals?

Are these demonic neoliberal subhumans pretending to be dumb? Or are they actually this dumb and can’t fathom how they are as genocidal as an alt-righter except their genocide is good you see its in the name of muh economic rationality and muh profits so they aren’t actually genocides its just a result of market forces.

the people in that reddit thread seem split between calling him a liar or saying Spencer has good positions for wrong reasons

they can’t seem to understand they’re looking into a funhouse mirror, showing them who they’d be if they were more honest with themselves

I feel like that’s the case with liberals and Russia too: they’re literally looking in a mirror at a liberal state with comparable levels of inequality to the US, ruled by a reactionary liberal party similar to the more extreme and reactionary of the two ruling liberal parties in the US, and taking more or less the same sort of actions the US does for similar reasons and with comparable justifications, and they declare “that’s fascism except worse because hItLeR wAsN’T cRoOkEd!” without a hint of irony or self-awareness.

Hitler was incredibly crooked as well the man mandated people buy Mein Kampf and kept the proceeds personally. It’s not brought up a lot because naively historians assume no one would be such a bloodless nerd as to care whether the man who killed millions was also skimming from the till of the Nazi state

I mean the fact that the far right is split between Putin stans and Ukraine stans right now it helping their dissonance, every time they see some Nazi on their side they can just remind themselves that Tucker Carlson exists.

yeah the market is just an abstraction of the violence of the state. Laws only exists through state backing with violence, property can only exist through laws, the market can only exist through property, hence the market can only exist if it is enforced with violence
