I'm blown away every time anew how some people on lemmy, like you here, effortlessly cut through manipulation. Reflecting on the state of the internet it's sadly delightful and refreshing.

Hypocrisy or contradictions are not an obstacle for fascism, at all. Quite the opposite! So yes they want you to know they cheated, and that they outsmarted you that way, because you were too dumb to stop them, it's not something that they want to hide, it's a powermove. As in I can cheat and you can't do anything about it even if you tried.

Here is a literal quote:

"Wenn unsere Gegner sagen: Ja, wir haben Euch doch früher die […] Freiheit der Meinung zugebilligt – –, ja, Ihr uns, das ist doch kein Beweis, daß wir das Euch auch tuen sollen! […] Daß Ihr das uns gegeben habt, – das ist ja ein Beweis dafür, wie dumm Ihr seid!" - Rede vom 4. Dezember 1935, zitiert nach Helmut Heiber (Hrsg.), Goebbels-Reden, Band 1, Droste, Düsseldorf 1971,

translation: "When our opponents say: 'Yes, we did grant you the […] freedom of opinion earlier – –', well, the fact that you granted it to us is certainly no proof that we should do the same for you! […] That you gave it to us – that is precisely proof of how stupid you are!"

And this is how those in power stay in power.

what do you mean?

The right answer is to deconstruct the argument logically and educate, of course. But I think it has to be added that the hypocrisy is intentional and is not stupidity and to understand the argument behind the facade you have to understand us politics. Which is all about manipulating the voter turnout. Imigrants will, once naturalized, vote against republicans, so they are oppressed. Same with women, high education, and so on. These are all just traits that let you select people who'd vote against you.

For example abortion, women who would consider aborition will statistically vote against republicans, so republicans rally around that and demonize abortion to make the women move away or stay away. Or as you mentioned transgender people, yes they can't move to republican states, that's the point!

It's always about supressing the people who statistically vote against you. In this case poor people vote against you, so you argue that poor people should leave the state or the country to dillute or strategically shift the voting opposition.

you don't need profits anymore when you have robotic slaves. you need profits to pay people to do the work you want to be done for you. if you have robots doing everything to keep a large estate running for you with all necessities and complete automation, what do you need more humans or profit for? If you need a door replaced you send a robot to make a new one, you don't need a complete carpentry industry.

They have apparently succeeded in poisoning the meaning of the term.

It would seem the common problem in any political system is always authoritarianism? Is there historical case where a king or similar actually helped the people that I can study more?

If you know what a ice sculpture of a human looks like and you know what an ice sculputre of a swan looks like you can maybe infer what an "ice sculpture of a flying crocodile with wings" might look like too, by combining what you already know. It's as much incorrect as your imagination, no?

The famously "egalitarian" Nazis who thought provokingly also railed against the "Jewish capitalism" in their "egalitarian" pursuit of racial purity and a welfare state for the superior "egalitarian" Aryan volk?

Here is Mussolinis doctrine: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/14058/14058-h/14058-h.htm

"No individuals nor groups (political parties, associations, labour unions, classes) outside the State. For this reason Fascism is opposed to Socialism, which clings rigidly to class war in the historic evolution and ignores the unity of the State which moulds the classes into a single, moral and economic reality."

Straight out of the pigs mouth. Of course, it's still propaganda, he could have said it is socialism, and it still wouldn't be socialism if it isn't socialism. The same way you can call a pig a horse, or the Nazis egalitarian.

Whats a tankie btw?
