>tfw you realize after all this time that it's democrats and liberals that are the real fascists

Basic Tenets of Fascism:

>"Nothing against the state". Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong.

Democrats: You don't want to sell a cake to a gay couple because of your religion? We're going to tell you you have to or close your business.

Democrats: You don't want to perform gay marriage in your church because your religious beliefs don't agree with it? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/church.

Democrats: Don't want to pay for contraception/abortions for your employees because your deeply-held religious beliefs disagree with the murder of unborn children? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/charity.


>"Everything in the state". The Government is supreme.
Democrats: Bigger government, more control of individual lives, more taxation. We can spend your money better than you can.

Democrats: Don't want/need to buy this product? We'll force you to buy it or we'll penalize you a few hundred/thousand dollars every year until you do.

Republicans: Smaller government, states rights, less taxation.

How do you explain this, lefties? Why do you use the label "fascist" to slander republicans when it seems it lines up more with your own ideology?

Pretty sure it doesn't have to be right wing. Especially considering that the democrats encompass nearly every single tenet of fascism. That's like saying a basketball sneaker can never be a shoe. You can SAY it will never be a shoe but every characteristic about it (laces, soles, etc) says it most definitely is a shoe.

Churches/Pastors aren't obligated to wed gay couples, or straight couples, if they don't want to. Moreover, the only reason a church would be "shut down" is if their congregation no longer was able to support it or if it was breaking some kind of law(s) on an institutional level. Businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone they want, but they can't specifically discriminate against a group of people based on things such as race, orientation, etc. You should do some research, you can find a lot of this in the Bill of Rights.

The people (all of us) also have a right to protest a business or a church if they want to, that's freedom of speech, something I'd think you'd be interested in maintaining considering you're currently expressing your own opinion. Again, all in the Bill of Rights.

And before you go on calling me a libtard or cuck or whatever, I'm as conservative as it gets.

Freedom of religion means to be free to believe any religion you want, without the state imposing a religion on you.

It does not mean your religious beliefs allow you to ignore laws, such as anti-discrimination laws.

>>721212282

Not the guy you're arguing with but I think it has something to do with the fact that the first amendment grants you t he right to belong to whichever religion you choose, not to enforce the tenets of that religion.

e.g. A jewish doctor can't force circumcision on someone just because it's part of his religious beliefs, and I can't sacrifice children to my canaanite gods just because I believe it will keep my young forever.

There are limits to what you are allowed to do in the name of your religion, and as a society it's clearly been decided that you're not allowed to operate a business that can refuse people things on the basis of religion.
>>
>>721212488
The same can be applied to any moral high ground people think they have. Let's say abortion is legal, but I'm a good christian doctor who refuses to perform an abortion. Am I imposing my set of believes into the laws of the state, this banning abortion, or am I simply refusing because of my believes?
>>
>>721212427
>If you decrease the power of the federal government, doesn't that mean you increase state government, thus creating a bigger government?

No. It's a neutral equation. You can have 100% of government. If 80% is federal, 20% is then state. If you give the States 40% then the federal naturally drops to 60%. It's about who makes the same decisions for their community.

You don't have to perform the abortion, and as long as you don't interfere with her seeking one from another doctor who doesn't have that moral conflict.

Abortion is a topic though that is very different; I appreciate that in many pro-lifer's view, abortion is murder, and saying 'it's just cells' is meaningless - I mean, we are all 'just cells', really.
Whilst I am pro-choice for pragmatic reasons, I do sympathise with the pro-life view somewhat - except the very few who, say, murder doctors or blow up abortion clinics like THAT is somehow pro-life.

>>
>>721212282
Freedom of Religion is a person's ability to choose what and how to believe and practice, not what a person can and can't allow others to do. For example, many religions have at one point practiced forms of sacrifice (Christianity, Islam, etc.). If my religion called for me to sacrifice a non-believer or a non-believer's property (sheep/goat), should my right to practice my religion outweigh the other's? Keep in mind I'm not advocating or even comparing sacrifice to say, access to birth control, I'm just offering up a scenario in which my right to practice infringes on someone else's rights.

A business can refuse service, but what they can't do is use their religious beliefs as a basis to discriminate against a group of people because it then infringes on the same right they're utilizing.

If you don't want to sell to someone because they're rude, or smelly, or annoying, or any other reason, that's fine.

The problem is when you refuse based on race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, etc, is discrimination.

The thing is, the man didn't completely 'build and maintain' the business by himself. Police and courts, merely by existing, significantly reduce loss, and security costs.
Can you imagine if he had to hire security to protect his stock from armed robbers who had no law to fear?
Or, even worse, someone richer who has hired more guys with bigger guns?

That's just one example, but the fact is that the very society itself allows for the man to have the opportunity to start a business.

And as much as he benefits from the existence of government, law, police, and courts (plus sewerage, roads, and much more HE didn't build), he sometimes has to bite the lemon about HIS obligations to society.

Or he can move his business to lawless Namibia or somewhere. Discriminate freely.
>>
>>721212880
Opportunistic is a great way to describe it because not only does it allow the owner to maintain their religious reasoning, however misguided it may be, but it also elevates that business in certain communities which in turn may increase business profits. For example, you deny a gay couple a cake and it makes the news, a couple days later people who are also anti-gay donate and use the business to help support it.

This business model is then repeated to take advantage of that section of the population, and at some point the already shaky religious grounds for denial are now no longer even involved and it's now simply just wholesale discrimination for profit.

I understand that this may look like/is a slippery slope fallacy, but discrimination is a tricky thing when truly understanding someone's reason for discriminating in the first place is hard to do. Especially if the discrimination is something like race or orientation instead of simply an unruly customer.

Aren't states rights just shifting government, not making it smaller?

How is less taxation good if it's focused on the already rich, whilst barely impacts financials for the struggling poor?

Why are republicans so 'anti-welfare' when they support billions of dollars spending on subsidies, bail-outs and no-interest business loans that are essentially 'corporate welfare' for businesses too lazy to get efficient and work hard to earn a 'living profit'?

Don't be so edgy. Not all democrats wants all of these liberty-killings laws. Protestors are rarely representative for the silent majority. I personnaly believes that there is a balanced middle-ground between allowing anything for the ideal of "freedom", – which would basically set everyone back to a "survival of the fittest" society which can only fail as the very base of society relies on the synergy developped by helping each other –, and the ideal of "fairness/equality" which of course in an extrem form leads to the destruction of individual freedom and a fascist state as you pointed out.

Protestors aren't even there to riot against Republicans for the most part.

The silent majority rarely matters. Most Germans were good people but the Nazi's which were the minority took over Germany and tried to kill off all jews, the silent majority didn't matter. When Japan invaded China and killed millions of Chinese citizens during WW2 the silent majority of Japan didn't matter.

Me? I never felt the need to press charges because of insults. I am merely stating there it's very common for the law to meddle in such affairs. Defamation and slander are other examples of crimes which the doctrine usually refers to "crimes against honor". Most are really harmless, and it falls upon the judicial system to evaluate whhich ones are harmless and which ones aren't. As far as I can remember, most penal codes that have those previsions also descriminalize situations like arguments, meaning those actions would only be criminal when they are deliberate and uncalled for offenses against others, with some degree of severity as to cause some lasting effect on the victim.
I see no problem with that. I have dealt with more than a few cases where offenses were enough to demand judicial interference.

Because those states are generally the ones with larger populations, cities, and economies.

As such, they are generally more dynamic places with much more cultural change, therefore a greater propensity towards progressive political ideas.

Coincidentally but not directly related to this, as larger economies they generally tend to have greater resources for education, as well as better medical facilities and welfare, leading to an increased quality of life for all, including healthier mental development.

Thirdly, and also separately though related, as bigger cities with many businesses, they also attract more intelligent people from other states, therefore causing an increase in the average IQ.

It's a complicated Obama care bullshit thing.

Instead of using taxes to build a public medical fund (like our Medicare), because Americans hate taxes, they instead have your employer pay your insurance, then receive a rebate or something.

So what it is, is your boss pays your insurance, which covers medical procedures, including abortions, as well as many other things, because abortions are legal and it separation of church and state is a thing.

I do not, nor have I ever, called anyone a fascist in a critical sense. So, if my beliefs are fascist, that does NOT make me a hypocrite.

Anyway, what you're describing isn't even fascism. It's authoritarianism. Fascism is authoritarianism plus nationalism, the latter of which is something liberals vehemently oppose. If what you're trying to say is that liberals are the real AUTHORITARIANS, then yes, I happily concede that we are. But I still don't see how we're the real fascists.

I knowingly and wholeheartedly support the philosophy of authoritarian non-nationalism. The government of a nation SHOULD suppress the diversophobic attitudes of assholes, because antagonizing those we perceive as "other," rather than striving to adapt to them, is how wars start, and war is quite obviously a threat to national security.

No, wars start when the struggle to adapt to a bunch of fundamentally different people INEVITABLY fails.

>>
>>721217948
Winning the collegial vote and losing the popular vote means that people living in less densely populated areas remain represented in politics. If only the popular vote counts, politicians will focus their attention only on big cities because more voters will live there and less densely (but not less important areas) will be ignored.

The issue of your two party system is unrelated to a collegial vote or a popular vote system.
>>
>>721217948
The EC exists, at the fundamental level, to prevent marginalization. If elections were a matter of population-games then you could just as easily win by inviting a bunch of people from shitholes through your borders and bribing them to vote liberal with white people's money while shoving them all into big cities where they can't shit all over the serene countryside. The EC prevents this from being as effective without simultaneously eradicating the vote of the individual. It just rounds of the extreme edges.

It's sort of poetic that the left is against it for precisely that reason.

There's no such thing as "fundamentally different people." There are certain traits common to all people without exception. We, the left, demand peaceful unity on the basis of these traits, without regard to other differences. It has been and will continue to be difficult, but it's not impossible, and we will have it one day.

>I'll protest, riot, cause property damage in the 1,000s regardless if I get arrested because the liberal agenda is more important and I'm willing to be a martyr

You've got to remember, progressive liberalism is Utopianism. They reject the fundamental struggle that must exist at all levels of life. They reject freedom of speech on the grounds that it could cause conflict and struggle if "misused". They reject the idea of having restraint in the face of vices like sex, drugs, food, sloth and so on, because to live a life of discipline instead of permissiveness is to live a life of struggle instead of ease and gratification. They reject the notion of social struggle - that ingroups will be naturally competitive with each other, and therefore shouldn't be forced to get along artificially. Utopianism doesn't just fail to achieve its ends, it usually achieves exactly the opposite.

Generally, people with a more realistic view of the world create more practical rules for it. Chivalry, for example, existed as a way of taking something vicious like war and agreeing to certain limitations for the sake of humanity, rather than writing silly little essays about "fuck war! war should be done away with forever because it's mean!" Realism mitigates and humanizes.

But most importantly, Utopianism holds that a reward of infinite value is achievable. When a reward of infinite value is at stake, it follows that the ends must always justify the means. They don't seek to mitigate human disaster, they seek to obliterate human conflict, even if it means neutering the human spirit and violating the things that make us people.

That is why the leftist riots. That is why he punches wrongspeakers in the face.

I'm not against it in concept, just form.

Have proportioned votes decided by smaller groups - counties or however it is currently - which are automatically proportioned based on population.

Take out the actual college, and just have a clearly procedural way of proportioning votes that way.

The problem is, the current system is not standard state-to-state.

Damn right we do. Because the obliteration of human conflict has a greater moral value than the preservation of the human spirit. In fact, I've said many times before, and I'll say it again, that neuro-eugenics may not be a bad approach to world peace.

>The constitution of 1795, like its predecessors, has been drawn up for Man. Now, there is no such thing in the world as Man. In the course of my life, I have seen Frenchmen, Italians, Russians, etc.; I am even aware, thanks to Montesquieu, that one can be a Persian. But, as for Man, I declare that I have never met him in my life. If he exists, I certainly have no knowledge of him.

You've misunderstood. There is the human condition that forms the basis for mankind, and there is the cultural dressing laid upon that understanding that forms a fully fledged human. The human condition is consistent among us all, which is why any civilization is created with the same basic tenets about things like marriage, tradition, holidays, virtues and policy on outsiders. Each one goes about them differently, but everyone with the wherewithal to build civilization has understood, for example, that you don't just let anyone through you walls. It is only the inheritors and destroyers of their work who are convinced otherwise.

But a full human being is not exclusively the human condition, they are the cultural application of it, and no two large groups of people are, will, or, as a matter of public record, ever have over come their differences in that regard. It is a pipe dream. It is toxic Utopianism at its most destructive.

^ and this is exactly why those living under Communism, even though they'd never experienced any other way of life, would admit that they knew, though they knew not how, that their way of life was truly and grotesquely unnatural.

Utopianism commits the ultimate evil - the incidence of inhumanity in the hopes of ending tragedy. That it creates infinitely more tragedy in the process is only gravy - 100 million deaths laid at the feet of Communist regimes were not half so profoundly disgusting as the half-lives those people were made to live beforehand. The Utopianist discovers all to late that their perfect human is an automaton inconvenienced with a soul.

But the moral perspective is skewed, because happiness does not exist without sadness. Glory is begotten by tragedy. The Utopianist would deny our souls their highest heights out of a cowardly, cretinous fear of our lowest depths.

I'd rather live god damn it, even if it kills me.

Not an evil. Ending tragedy is more important.
>That it creates infinitely more tragedy in the process is only gravy - 100 million deaths laid at the feet of Communist regimes were not half so profoundly disgusting as the half-lives those people were made to live beforehand.
Less disgusting, perhaps, but also less moral.
>But the moral perspective is skewed, because happiness does not exist without sadness.
I claim not that it does; only that sadness is more to be avoided than happiness is desirable.
>Glory is begotten by tragedy.
At too great a cost.
>The Utopianist would deny our souls their highest heights out of a cowardly, cretinous fear of our lowest depths.
Because the lowest depths are lower than the highest heights are high.

>an automaton inconvenienced with a soul
This is how things *start out* under socialism, but they're always crushed too soon to go further. The ultimate goal is as follows: that by degrading the human to an automaton, we strip away what protects the soul--and in doing so, we free it to our scrutiny and craftsmanship, and develop it into something superior, which will *naturally* live within the bounds of nonviolence and non-discrimination, without even *craving* to do otherwise. (This is where neuro-eugenics comes in.) *Then* we can put the human part back, by getting rid of the authoritarian system. It's like installing Linux on an MS Surface, you might have to disable the Secure Boot for awhile first.

Okay Ill bite, but only for 2 specific things. Dont consider myself a democrat, but it just irritates me.

>Democrats: You don't want to sell a cake to a gay couple because of your religion? We're going to tell you you have to or close your business.
I do not believe democrats think this way. The problem solves itself really. A company that is discriminatory will never truly see the prfit and growth that a company that does not discriminate. Even Chick-Fil-A, which is known to be of an extremely religious background, doesnt have a "No fags allowed." sign on their door. And at most CFA I have been to, several of the male employees were obviously homosexual. So it really isnt a problem when a store decides to discriminate. It really does take care of itself.

>Democrats: You don't want to perform gay marriage in your church because your religious beliefs don't agree with it? Don't care. Do it or we'll close your business/church.
Once again, I do not think this is how Democrats think. I do believe their belief is really more based on a governmental level, state and federal, to simply recognize gay marriage the same way they would between a man and a woman. I dont think they have a problem just going to a courthouse or something like that and getting it officially. And there are more than enough churches that naturally support it as well. Its not something that needs to be forced.

While I dont disagree that you could find dozens of people who identify as democrat who do believe those things you are saying, I could also find dozens upon dozens of republicans who hate Muslims. That doesnt make me suddenly start thinking that every single one of them are xenophobic. I would like an actual response, as I gave one.

I love watching muricans both get fundemental concepts of political philosophy so amazingly wrong.
Facist ideology implies 2 fundemental concepts.
First and foremost ultimate authority of the state as it was mandated by national charter with no provision for change nor interpretation.

Second, a position that the nation is the perfect embodiment of above mentioned authority.
Subjects like nationalism or ethnic homogenous policy can be used by Facist movements easily but are not inherent.
Authoritarianism is a requirement though.
So Democrats who reject any form of debate or dissent.
Ed Snowden is a traitor, because he is a traitor we will not discuss the NSA spying on normal citizens.
Both facist but Democratic and Republican party positions.

Wahabist Islam calls for a multi ethnic facist state ruled under Sharia law as defined by the Quran. Its neither democratic nor universal. I don't think there is anything wrong with scrutiny of these type of individuals.
Especially when they choose to live in a democratic society.
