Either they were always in on it(because the DNC and GOP have the same investments), they were bribed with the coming oil money from this whole venture, or they were threatened.

Regardless, they should all be fired for not representing the interests of the party. The actual party, not their corpo handlers.

Hmm, that’s interesting. I can’t find that definition for fascism anywhere, but I’m not going to dismiss it just because a few dictionaries don’t align perfectly. I’ll do some digging and see if I can find the historical context and first-use cases.

I am curious what parts of China are your friends from? I mostly hang out with people from Sichuan, with one friend from a village called Urumqi(I have no idea where that is though). China is a big place, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a different regard for the government region-to-region.

I’mma be honest, if I was living in a country where it was common knowledge that slandering the government in anyway got you disappeared, I’d rate them highly on any study put in front of me :/

I know I’m going to have comments telling me I don’t know what I’m talking about, and that’s ok. I’ve enough friends in China, and from China, who have talked about this kind of thing to understand that this graph could represent the feelings of the people, but likely doesn’t.

That is such a shoddy argument. Communism leads to fascism, we have examples. Socialism leads to fascism, we have examples. Monarchy leads to fascism, we have examples. ALL political schemes can lead to fascism, and it has everything to do with the pursuit of power by a few and very little to do with the system of governance itself. Of course Capitalism can lead to fascism; where ever there is fair compromise to be exploited there will be an opportunity for fascism.

Also, I didn’t see any other replies to my comment. Unless you think I’m going to stalk the person I replied to and nag them to reply to me directly, I don’t think that counts :/

So liberals are nazis now? I’ll pen that in under alt-right nationalists, republicans, conservatives in general, democrats…

Like seriously, we are seriously watering down the word Nazi by just labeling everyone we don’t like as a racist supporter of fascism. Besides, how can every blue state and blue city be riddled with Nazis if they are the one’s constantly complaining that our government is devolving into an authoritarian state? RIDDLE ME!!

Hahaha, I doubt anyone would want to buy my old childhood books. They’re covered in dragon ball stickers, drawn on, stained with various foods and drinks… over all I was not very respectful of my books when I was 7 xD The internet fame would be nice though! Maybe, I hear that backfires for a lot of people lol

Well, I’m setting a calendar reminder for every day I’ll be in Washington this December to hit the storage unit on the way back. Gotta grab my old laptop and external hard drive anyway so why not!

I’ll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.

I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD

I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.

I can’t tell if your question is a poorly veiled critique of my comment, or if you genuinely don’t see the presentation of data in the post. The image literally has a grouping of data points conveying a narrative; that’s statistics. A collection of quantitative data. Just because its bad statistics doesn’t mean it isn’t.

This isn’t an “evil commie” meme, dude. 1 : Russian isn’t communist. 2 : This is just poorly thought out political commentary 3 : Communism isn’t evil, capitalism sucks, and so do your memes.

There is so much context missing here it is crazy. This is such a shameless use of manipulative statistics, it would only convince the dumbest of people of its argument.

All of you are hilarious. YOU WIN EITHER WAY. But all your calculations are wrong, because you can breathe fast and take small steps.

Thank you for the reading list! I’ll take a gander :)

Okedoke, well I just learned that I have no concrete grasp of political labels and need to do a LOT of research.
