I would like to add that even if you survive, your lives will still be miserable. Only the rich get richer in fascism, for example, German wages in the 3rd Reich fell down to Great Depression levels (unions were targeted first by Hitler) and people also had to work a lot more hours. After Hitler had pissed off all trade partners there was also a lot of scarcity of basic stuff - towards the end, soldier’s uniforms were literally being made out of cardboard because there was no wool left (Germany didn’t have a lot of sheep and couldn’t grow cotton).

That’s a great message, thank you

In 1939 there were in Germany roughly 34 million German white men who did not belong to any targetted minority group. In 1945 roughly 5 million of these were German white men dead. Do those sound like good odds to you?

“I don’t understand why people call those face-eating leopards face-eating leopards” - the “apolitical” and the centrist, moments before finding out.

Besides the war, under fascism hunger and disease are justified to “toughen up” the “volk” and weed out the “untermenschen”. You can already see how RFK and the tariffs are setting the stage for both. Suffering will be seen as proof of your obedience, objection to the suffering will be considered disloyalty and punished.

When trump was elected and I was considering what countries to move I consulted a friends. He’s a progressive dude, I’m a socialist both white. Most of our political conversations revolve around whether the workers really need to own the means of production or if you just build enough, a safety net and welfare stayed on top of capitalism.

And shrimp was elected. I was sure he would be as worried about it as I was. He tried to calm me down by jokingly saying " I’m a straight white man. What’s the worst they’re going to do? Make me marry two wives"?

Can’t compute

50% of the men died in Germany during ww2.

People really need to stop writing content for the strawmen in their head. This is perfectly reasonable advice for anyone thinking they will survive fascism, not just apolitical white men.

Socially, war is a way to forcefully redistribute suffering and resources. This is a somewhat old (thousands of years) cultural tradition: instead of rationing and even sacrificing (yes, voluntary human sacrifice), the sacrifice and misery is turned into this team competition. In such civilizations, it’s likely that rulers understood that they’re “culling their populations” by going to war with other elites and having this “mutual sacrifice” going on. This is more evident with colonialism and capitalism, with war being a racket in the context of catabolic capitalism.

The reason we say “NO WAR EXCEPT FOR CLASS WAR” is, well, class war is already happening and the other forms of war are used to maintain the class hierarchy.

(Some) leftists do have a problem with tolerating class war violence, with making up excuses. I see it with those who make up excuses for the genocide of indigenous people by the hand of settlers, miners, ranchers and others who are trying to accumulate wealth in capitalism’s rat race. So…

I disagree to some extent with the claim total war is integral to fascism.

It was integral to nazism under Hitler and maybe Mussolini’s fascism (though I don’t know enough about the latter). But Franco very much did not require total war to be fascist. None of his wars were total wars as all of them were rather small and not particularly noteworthy. Even the civil war wasn’t a total war, despite its significant death toll.

Fascism is very much hungry for wars. But there’s a bit of a “natural selection” going on where the Hitler-like total war fanatics usually last a couple of years at most while the more restrictive fascists can remain in power for many decades at least. You can see the latter with Franco’s Spain or Putin’s Russia.

The only good thing about fascism is once the dictator dies there’s a significant risk of collapse.

Death to the fascists and the tyrants

Fascist are the useful idiots of empire. The United States financed the Nazis to fight Russia… during and after the war via the catholic church and human trafficking rat lines, they funneled Nazi scientists into the Department of Defense to build our rocket program to fight the Cold War… All the countries in the world now are capitalistic. We are in another stage of capitalism, which is still just capitalism, but it’s a stage that is trying to literally worm its way into our bodies. That’s how invasive this is. It is like we have to drink from a poisonous well, aka technology. But this well is the very thing that feeds their power. There are groups all around the world that are working together. I have yet to see any left-wing parties show any real solidarity or power, but that’s probably because of the Democratic Party, Also, Neo-liberalism is a right-wing ideology, it was a way to stop the world wars and put them on pause but not fix the ills of capitalism. You know, because now we’re in the era of state-sponsored terror, asymmetrical warfare and proxy war with a sprinkling of imperial blowback… So the imperialist empire of America has now pulled back its soft power and now is trying to implement hard power. So, if you are the left wing, it’s probably wise to not do anything rash and be a reactionary. Even though I’m a libertarian socialist, I still think that this is a time to yes, do some demonstrations, push back, and do all the normal processes. But those that are on the side of the fascist will eventually see the true colors of the fascist or the imperialist. And then you’ll have more people to work with. Because at the end of the day, democracy is a difficult thing to achieve in which the The United States has not achieved yet, ever in its history. Be weary of those that beat their chest. Most likely they are reactionary liberals or a fed honeypot trying to get you to do something stupid and I know a lot of you are young and capable of great things but some of you might still have your brain forming. They did this during the Afghan Iraq War where they would take poor Muslims who normally would never be able to achieve their goals, their terroristic plans, if they were not helped by the FBI that helped them through the process. It’s all just a dog and pony show. Performative national security, managing perception. Google “which path to Persia?” They’re going to pull the old good-cop bad-cop methodology by distancing themselves from Israel. But at the same time, supplying the tatical nuclear weapons that will be used on Iran. Google Iran or get on YouTube or whatever and look at what their lives are like. If you see, they’re just like us.

34 million German white men is bigger than 5 million . bigger is good .
