As much as Germany denies it, it has been proven in the last 10 or so years that they really loved their nazi days. France seems to also love having been under nazi occupation too, and they seem to have a similar anti-environmentalist attitude.

When did Anti-environmentalist tomfoolery become pro-Nazi?

It's not the cause, it's the tactics. Throwing people in jail before they actually do anything is a classic hallmark of tyranny.

The tactics are tyrannical but not uniquely fascist. Jailing political opponents because they angered the crown is a European tradition that predates Rome.

Fair. I guess fascist is just what humanity has come to call such things.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Fascist is also what humanity uses to refer to actual fascism, which is having a pretty unfortunate resurgence at the moment. Its not just referring to tyranny.

I heard someone call the removal of the green M&M fascism once. Just because people label it as such doesn't make it accurate.
