that's idiotic, plus he's from Wales, so who gives a shit?

@yyaldrin @chava You have to remember that fascism is a pretty specific ideology, or a family of closely related ideologies, and not just a synonym for "authoritarianism" in general. The USSR was extremely authoritarian, but it wasn't fascist. Conversely, nobody is more into freedom than the far right. Or at least, a certain sort of freedom for a certain sort of people - it might be the freedom from sharing your country with Muslims, or from being offered vaccines, or from having your children learn about evolution, climate change or the Holocaust at school.

The fascists in Austria call themselves the Freedom Party, don't they?

 

[Mr. Tea]

In the UK we've got this group who rather cutely call themselves the White Rose, after the historic resistance movement in Nazi Germany, and they do the usual thing of comparing any anti-pandemic measures whatsoever to "something out of Nazi Germany" (even being asked to wear a mask while shopping or using a bus), are fanatically anti-vaxx of course, and believe the pandemic as a whole is a scam, etc. etc. But they also think all refugees are criminal scum, white civilization is under threat, and that a gang of evil Jews runs the world.

In other words, they're Nazis who love calling other people "Nazis".

 

[Mr. Tea]

Lol, I've said something that's annoyed @luka but he doesn't know what to do about it so he's defaulted to the trusty "haha" reaction. 😙

 

[luka]

i wasnt annoyed i was just laughing at you trying to steal craner's 'well actually fascism is a distinct and historically delimited ideology' act but made it sound even more pompous

 

[luka]

at least Craner has read a book

I don't think he has a monopoly on knowing what fascism is!

 

[luka]

don't let him catch you saying that!

 

[Mr. Tea]

I'm not the boss of you, of course, so feel free to carry on using the word more or less as Rik from The Young Ones would use it.

 

[Mr. Tea]

I'm not the boss of you

Much less the Führer, of course!

everyone has their own personal definition of fascism and we should respect that

"Sir won't let me wear my Death In June 'Totenkopf' T-shirt on the school trip to Auschwitz! What a total fascist!"

Quite a few anti-lockdown articles now cropping up in The Guardian - not too long before the dinner-party set irrevocably changes their tune, as I predicted some 400 pages of thread ago.
