Fascism - Why...

The belief in a natural hierarchy usually dictates it. "Natural Hierarchy" is just fancy spoken shorthand for a blended mix of sexism, antisemitism, racism and homophobia.

I guess we could technically try to argue that a fascist could exist in a world where they believed in a strict social hierarchy but it wasn't along the same exact heteronormative white cis male dominant status model. Hmm. Now that I think about it there might be some warlords in Africa that may qualify for Fascist dictatorships.

But anyway my point still stands that every single instance of fascist ideology that seems to have ever actually occurred in the real world has come with racism and homophobia.
The same can be said for democracy or any other system of Government.

Okay I laugh reacted because I thought this was sarcastic.


Then what is the strict social hierarchy they believe in? Also I'd to see the list.
You don't know the people I speak of. Your point is absurd because your claim can be made of ANY system of government; not just fascism.

This is false. Not all governments are homophobic. And I would argue the only two "systems" of government that are homophobic are Fascism and Theocracies.

AND even in the instances where they are homophobic it is not a cornerstone of their belief system that is required for the government to function. Democracy may have homophobic laws because the population themselves are homophobic and passed them. However the political ideology of "democracy" doesn't require homophobia to exist to work.

And if they are mystery people that go to school in canada so I wouldn't know them then I assume they aren't real and don't exist. Joe from down the street who smokes meth in a trailer and comes up with wild crazy **** isn't a political leader so his opinions on the grander architype of government is irrelevant.

Its the phobia of homos. If this is a serious line of inquiry I imagine there was a follow-up question or comment.
So do...
-athiest suffer religiousphobia?
-christians suffer atheistphobia?
-dems suffer repubphobia?
-repubs suffer demphobia?
Etc, etc

My point being if someone doesn't agree with something, why are some labeled as a phobia and some not?

[Why] do so many Americans desperately want [fascism]?

Feeling superior to people often makes someone feel empowered. There is a moral cost to this sort of exchange, but (as it turns out) those who are oppressed end up footing the bill. These people who pursue fascism want to feel empowered... by any means necessary.

I'm not implying that all contemporary fascists are evil power mongers. Some of it stems from the fact that they feel economically desparate. They are impoverished; they feel as if there is no hope. Fascism offers up the promise that if we just abuse and banish the interlopers, we might feel better. Then they might want to go make something of themselves.

The messed up thing is, it works to some degree.

So naturally, because fascism promises to help people (some desperate, some evil) out of their predicaments (even at the expense of others' welfare), it seems like a sweet deal.

Sure. If that something is a person's existence. Homophobes don't just "disagree" with homosexuality they disagree with a whole group of people who exist as they are. Not a choice or a lifestyle. Christianity, atheistm, democrats/republicans these are all beliefs and ideologies. Sexuality is not an ideology.

"I just don't agree with the concept of black people. Does that make me racist?" yes....yes it does.

No one is born a republican or democrat. It is a belief they ascribe to. If you cannot differentiate between this and intrinsic qualities you will have a bad time.

According to science no one is born gay, there is no gay gene.

In the year 2023 are there still people won't don't believe that sexuality is innate? Is this still an argument people push? Read any of those studies btw. Show me where it says being homosexual is less than innate to a person. Because either you didn't read them or you are trolling.
