    “All nations are fascist by definition since it’s a group of people bound together, so my fascism is okay” — Jordan Peterson, probably

    Is he actually starting to read books and starting to understand the Marxist critique of liberalism or?

    No, I didn’t think so, either.

    Still, petition to do the thing to up vote a picture of a steaming pile of shit under the title, ‘fascism derives from fasces, meaning to bind like sticky feces’ so it’s the top result when people search for fascism.

      There’s a bit idea here where one refers to all ingredients in foods or other stuff that hold together something as fascist, e.g. that egg in your fritters? fascist, potato starch? fascist, flour in general? fascist, cement in concrete? fascist; and so on. You could probably play it off the Parks and Rec Fred Armisen jail meme.

    Hey, there, … a bit of a history.

    Why… Answer:

    Is it even possible for modern fascists to bluster and posture without Reddit-tier passive-aggressive delivery methods? smuglord

      That’s funny, I don’t remember purposely using … as a passive-aggressive delivery method, but according to these people (Lobsterboys), it is?

        The ellipses in that part aren’t what I was pointing out. It was the “hey there, sorry to break it to you, but I must reluctantly enlighten you to simple basic facts. Here is my softball obvious question and, guess what, here is the answer” smuglord thing.

          Yeah, but the ellipses I think seem to be a quintessential part of that smugness.

    The World Economic Forum is fascist. Just not for the reasons he thinks it is.

    he’s also wrong linguistically. “Fasces” refers to sticks bound together, the verb is fascio.

      Am I missing something about what you are saying? I thought the fasces symbol itself is the source of the concept and term “fascism” rather than fascism meaning something like “the practice of binding stuff together”

      Edit: sorry, I see it now, he translated “fasces” as if it were a verb

    Why are all these fasces all over my courtrooms and legislative buildings? I’ve spent years inside their bathrooms, wondering why all these homosexuals are sucking my cock.

    Did Peterson wake up from a coma? I haven’t heard reactionaries mention antifa since like 2017, ever since that supposed antifa coup didn’t happen and they all got embarrassed.

    Also their fearmongering about the WEF is always been odd to me because it’s just capitalists being open about how they operate society. The bourgeoisie already dictate society and can alter it as they please, but the problem with the WEF is they’re announcing it? Reactionaries love capitalism until the bourgeoisie act exactly as they always have but start using progressive language to obfuscate how they’re parasites. If the WEF were the exact same as it is now but the capitalists there talked about making Disney movies more racist then reactionaries like Peterson would sing its praises.

      Actually…he kind of did? He went to Russia and was put in a medically induced coma while he was going through withdrawal for his benzo addiction, but he seems to be back on them now.

      Yes, and maybe he’s buying into the notion that the capitol rioters that broke into the whitehouse are actually Antifa somehow. Also when capitalists operate in a manner that leftists say that they do, it must be a conspiracy by the leftists, not leftists telling the truth.
