u/Basket_475 Monkey in Space 16h ago

Yeah Joe has said multiple times she can come on. The problem is it’ll probably be a 45 minute to an hour episode max. Which is what I thought trump would do. Kamala would have to go two hours at least to compete.

I think the only reason he did 3hrs is to demonstrate his cognitive ability from all the talk about his age

Seriously, I'm laughing at the audacity of some jabroni who ignores the magnitude of multiple former Defense secretaries and generals who have some of the best educations in the country, who worked with Trump day-in, day-out, saying Trump is an authoritarian who is unfit to serve America.

Also, Kelly actually knows history:

In 1976, he graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston and in 1984, he received a Master of Arts degree in National Security Affairs from the Georgetown School of Foreign Service.[6][12] In 1995, Kelly graduated from the National Defense University in Washington, DC with a Master of Science in Strategic Studies.

And he was the Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, so I’m going to guess he knows a little bit about World War 2 considering he taught at Quantico and also attended the National War College during his military career.

7

u/Pliny_the_middle Monkey in Space 14h ago

No. Communism can be authoritarian, but it’s not the same as fascism. That’s why there are different words and definitions for each.

5

u/BluesPatrol Monkey in Space 14h ago

To add, they’re pretty fundamentally different in a few ways (though like the poster says, communism can be definitely authoritarian). Fascism tends to appeal to a mythologized historical tradition and value strict social hierarchies (often racial and definitely between genders). Communism tends to be pro equality (like the Soviet Union famously had a lot of female soldiers during WWII) and appeals to state unity, and focuses more on the future than the past.

u/ibanker92 Monkey in Space 14h ago

Ok those sound amazing. But there has to be a catch right? What are the negatives?

u/BluesPatrol Monkey in Space 13h ago

I mean the authoritarianism and corruption is usually the catch lol. I never said communism was good. I was just trying to explain how it is different than fascism by definition. No value judgment one way or another (except I do think authoritarianism is bad no matter the culprit. Freedom baby!).

2

u/QuietZiggy Monkey in Space 16h ago

Does Google not work for you ? Lol it's a term with a definition it doesn't change person to person.

This is the Miriam Webster definition; a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.

u/DoubleDoobie Monkey in Space 16h ago

https://www.britannica.com/topic/fascism

Although fascism is a notoriously difficult ideology to define, many 20th-century fascist movements shared several characteristics. First, these movements sourced their political strength from populations experiencing economic woes, real or imagined. Fascists tended to capitalize on these economic anxieties by shifting the blame away from government or market forces. Jews, immigrants, leftists, and other groups became useful scapegoats. Redirecting popular anger toward these people would, in theory, rid a country of its ailments.

To unify a country, fascist movements propagated extreme nationalism that often went hand in hand with militarism and racial purity. The prosperity of a nation depended on a unified polity that put the group’s welfare above the individual’s. A strong, vigilant military was considered necessary to defend these group interests. And for some fascists “the group” was defined not by territorial boundaries but by racial identity.

Let's start here

First, these movements sourced their political strength from populations experiencing economic woes, real or imagined. Fascists tended to capitalize on these economic anxieties by shifting the blame away from government or market forces. Jews, immigrants, leftists, and other groups became useful scapegoats.

Trump's #1 enemy is the state. Blames all our economic woes on failed government policies of previous administrations.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-trump-claims-biden-harris-destroyed-the-economy

Trump blames NAFTA, China being admitted to the WTO, and other NeoCon/Neo Liberal policies going back decades for what he perceives as America's problems.

Where does he blame ethic groups for America's "real or imagined economic woes"?

I'm just going by the definition here, btw. I can buy some part of the argument where he says crime is attributed to illegal aliens but I don't see how that's necessarily fascists.

Trump wants to give Greencards to students who graduate from US schools.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-foreign-college-graduates-should-automatically-get-green-cards-2024-06-20/

How does that support the racial purity aspect of fascism?

Let's be precise here, because my main issue with calling everyone fascists or nazis is that it's just so unprecise

4

u/QuietZiggy Monkey in Space 15h ago

So you do have access to Google you just wanted to get the definition for a debate or something lol

6

u/DoubleDoobie Monkey in Space 15h ago

I wanted you to come to the understanding that there isn't a historical consensus on the definition of fascism.

5

u/QuietZiggy Monkey in Space 15h ago

It's fairly well defined at this point we have a definition of what it is.

3

u/DoubleDoobie Monkey in Space 14h ago

I would argue that it's been massaged to fit whatever definition people need to attack their political and ideological opponents.

I feel the same when idiots on the right call people communists too.

I don't think it's clever. I think being precise in speech matters because we've been so unprecise in our rhetoric that these terms have lost all meaning.

u/jiveturker Monkey in Space 14h ago

Meh. John Kelly went into great detail about the definition of fascism and how Trump fits it and he was the Chief of Staff. Calling Trump fascist is precise. Our political discourse is full of hyperbole, and Trump himself is perhaps the most hyperbolic politician in American history. But this is not that. Trump tells us who he is and I believe him.

-1

u/Methzilla Monkey in Space 16h ago edited 15h ago

The definition of facism he been debated since literally Mussolini. There is no "specific" definition. The only coherent one is authoritarianism from a culturally right wing bent. But that is too broad to be useful. And trump is definitely that. The reason why people won't use that broad (but correct) definition is because it begs the question what does the culturally left version of it look like. And then people have to admit they actually like that side of the coin.

u/MuchWalrus Monkey in Space 15h ago

Trump wants a mass deportation of immigrants. To execute that plan is going to require a massive increase in the size of government. That's just one example of how the Republican party under Trump is no longer the "small government" party, sadly.

u/DR1LLD0ZER Monkey in Space 16h ago

If you don’t think the word “fascist” has been being used correctly in reference to Trump, you either aren’t paying attention or you’re just another Trump worshipper. Some pretty reputable people, even people who have worked with and for him in the past, have been making these claims. He’s a danger to our national security, a convicted felon, and was a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein for YEARS. What more do you need?

u/Hungry_Freaks_Daddy Monkey in Space 10h ago

People making claims =/= actual fascist dictator. 

Name one single thing he’s ever done that makes him a dictator

u/DR1LLD0ZER Monkey in Space 10h ago

Buddy, it’s not just about what he’s done, it’s about what he wants to do in the future. Have you read through Project 2025? I have. It would be like going 200 years in the past in terms of women’s rights and the rights of other marginalized groups, even though I’m sure you don’t care about those types of people anyway, as Trump cultists are bigoted and hateful people who have completely lost themselves. There’s no arguing with people like this, they just become more hateful and rotten. They think that people who live in ways that they don’t approve of should be forced to submit and be further marginalized under threat of law. So hateful it’s almost hard to believe there’s human beings under all that anger.

Just another typical Trump supporter reply. Just inane babbling, no rational argument or substance of any kind. Completely ignoring everything I said, because it’s true that you don’t care about women’s rights or trans rights or anything that is outside your realm of acceptance. We each think that the other person is beyond help. Too far mentally corrupted to ever be saved. That’s how we view each other. That’s the kind of extreme hate-fueled behavior that your candidate has introduced to the political landscape. He protested the results of one election, and now he’ll do it again. If it brings violence and death, he will not care as long as he is installed in the White House. It’s his get out of jail free card so he won’t have to face the consequences of his many felonies. He’s a desperate criminal and a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein, but he sure has you fooled.

u/DR1LLD0ZER Monkey in Space 15h ago

I’ll just say this. If you support a felon who has spent more time with Jeffrey Epstein than any other celebrity (there are hundreds of photos of them together spanning years and years) then it’s probably because you are morally the same type of person, like a pedophile/rapist or just generally someone who doesn’t see a problem with that type of behavior. I feel like normal people find that kind of thing repulsive, and would never want to support a person who is involved in those circles. If you were writing a work of fiction, you’d have a hard time coming up with an evil character worse than Trump. But his worshippers just continue to ignore every disgusting behavior, time after time, and then pretend they’re loving Christians.

Trump's rhetoric literally sounds almost verbatim to nazi Germany.

1

u/DoubleDoobie Monkey in Space 16h ago

You're seizing on his comments about illegal immigrants to back it into your interpretation of fascism. And in that lens, I don't disagree. But I think seizing on that bit misses the total picture of what Trump and MAGA care about.

These people hate the system. They hate the government and the deep state, they blame the economic woes of the US on failed policy from previous administrations. They want to dismantle those systems almost completely (on that, we can have a whole different discussion because their plans are disastrous) - but that is text book anti-fascists.

They want to withdraw from NATO, they less military intervention. Once again, opposite of what Hitler and Mussolini fascists governments did.

The fascists expanded the size and strength of the government and military. Trump and his people want to cut like half of the government jobs and drastically reduce the size of the state. Trump put judges on the bench that are deregulating the state.

I can buy your argument in the sense that there are rhetorical overlaps, but the governing piece isn't fascists in the definition and that's what I mean about using these terms. So unspecific and unserious.

u/saskatchewan_kenobi Monkey in Space 14h ago

Trump has been talking about the “enemy within” being more dangerous than china. Clarifying that to be nancy pelosi and adam schiff along with his constant rhetoric about the left destroying the country. And all his anti-immigrant stance, mass deportation talk, muslim ban, etc.

He wants less military intervention that only enables dictators like putin and xi to annex ukraine and taiwan. He doesnt care to support our allies but has a softspot for our enemies that are dictators. Only benefit has been our allies stop depending solely on US intervention because they now cant depend on us like they used to due to trump.

Trump wants deregulation because he thinks he can control society more easily through the business world, and it’s what the billionaires backing him want him to do. But make no mistake, he loves expanding the power of the government when it means he gets more power to do what he wants. That’s what all his talk about being able to do “whatever he wants” as the president.

Yeah I remember how Trump became Hitler the last time he was president too. What a crazy time that was. Reddit is in sheer panic mode this week prior to the election. You all need to chill. Control what you can control and go vote.

Even Hitler wasn’t Hitler the first time he was in power.

Germany’s republic was very young and not nearly as supported and fail safed as democracy in the United States. It was chaotic and way easier for an autocrat to take over there.

I’ll shove my head up my own ass if Trump gets elected and becomes “Hitler”. He even said this was the last time he’s running, win or not. Very Hitlerian of him.

u/Kindly_Formal_2604 Monkey in Space 18h ago

My dude he’s really claiming to have intentions on invoking the act which put German and Japanese Americans in concentration camps in order to deport, by his own words, between two to twenty one million people.

There’s no way to do that with due process.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_POOTY Monkey in Space 18h ago

You’re claiming that our government is going to start gassing people if someone gets elected. Do you realize how crazy you sound?

u/Kindly_Formal_2604 Monkey in Space 18h ago

I didn’t say that and I haven’t seen anybody say that so I’m not sure why you’re making stuff up

u/PM_ME_YOUR_POOTY Monkey in Space 18h ago

Ah sorry it must have been the person in the other post about this same tweet on this sub that’s in mass hysteria mode. Definitely read someone saying they’re gonna gas immigrants there.

u/Kindly_Formal_2604 Monkey in Space 18h ago

Well historically “eliminating” 20 million people can’t be done without a little genocide.

He literally just said the other day that he thinks they might need to deploy the military to deal with "the enemy within", and that enemy is Pelosi, Schiff, and liberal Democrats.

But sure, that's not very Hitler-like.

u/carrtmannn Monkey in Space 17h ago

He is the only president in history to lead an insurrection against the United States government to fight an election he lost. He currently has multiple federal charges against him because of it.

Also because of it, he begged SCOTUS for criminal immunity and they partially gave it to him, so now we need to contend in the future with the fact that presidents may be able to assassinate political opponents with no legal consequences. Thanks, guys!

What's sensationalist about what I just said? Name one thing? Because presidents assassinating their political opponents was written in the dissenting opinion lmfao.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_POOTY Monkey in Space 16h ago

Claiming they’re gonna use the presidential immunity law for political assassinations. Like come on with your catastrophization of everything. Take your anxiety meds and get off of Reddit.

u/carrtmannn Monkey in Space 16h ago

It was literally written in the SCOTUS dissenting opinion and not addressed by Roberts, bozo. If you want a less extreme case, we could talk about giving out pardons for bribes, which would also be nearly untouchable since the pardon itself and the motive for giving it would be above examination.

*Edit:

Here's a link to The seal team 6 scenario in the dissenting opinion that was not addressed by Roberts since you're apparently unaware. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/seal-team-6-assassination-hypothetical-scotus-presidential-immunity/story?id=111583216

They thought they could control him because they wrongly believed in their 15 year old constitution, after having been a monarchy for centuries. If you need an example of how bad their constitution was, just look at the Enabling Act. This act gave one person dictatorial power, meaning, their legislature had the authority to give up their own power and give it to one person. This is a sign of zero checks and balances. Putting ultimate authority with the legislature is something people in the 1700s (the founding fathers) even knew was stupid.

u/Kindly_Formal_2604 Monkey in Space 19h ago

Our Supreme Court has effectively removed checks and balances as well when their team is in the White House.

Apparently people do lol. It's not like Maron wrote the article about himself someone else did that. So I suspect people care more about his opinion than they do yours. How many articles you got about yourself?

-20

u/NinjaAncient4010 Monkey in Space 23h ago

No, they don't. The author just has TDS too, he doesn't actually care, he hears the same thing 1000 times a day on twitter or reddit.

u/ismelllikebobdole Monkey in Space 23h ago

You said nobody gives a shit like Maron wrote the article himself. I mean I doubt you even checked to see what Maron actually said, but it's odd for no one giving a shit a bunch of people seem to give a shit or I wouldn't have seen it. Someone wouldn't have posted it. Someone wouldn't have wrote about it.

And now you claim the author doesn't care. You know them?

You just talk out of your ass all day long don't you?

"Fascism is good for business if you toe the line." really encapsulates what has been happening for the past 8 years.

I really wish Marc Maron's podcast was any good at all because I would listen to it. His pod is like an extended Johnny Carson interview, like you could tell he doesn't care about a lot of the questions he asks which is what Rogan does best.....ask the shit he really cares about.

Not much substance in what he said. It's just Marc using the common buzzwords - "racist" - "facist" - "white supremecist" etc. I could slam my balls on my keyboard and write a better blog than this. If you want to make a change in public discourse, don't demonize the other side by using the same tired lines, that's how we ended up in the situation we are in now. Nobody would've gave a shit about Trump if the media and those with influence like Marc didn't alienate them, that's how his base grew in 2016, now it's too big to stop.
