Fascism is a massive violent manifestation of ignorance. The only real solution is to undo the brainwashing of humanity - their brainwashing with religion, their brainwashing to accept abusive hierarchical rule, all of it. Everyone must fully understand.

People responding with "guns", "WW2" - we did that already, 70 million people died, and here we are again. Why and how did it come back? What is the actual source of the problem? Treating this problem as only solvable with mass murder isn't exactly putting you on the moral high ground. What conditions give rise to acceptance of fascist beliefs, or the acceptance of a fascist leader? What are the mental, social, cultural, behavioral traits of the people that do accept that? How can those traits be prevented from forming?

One day AI is going to figure out that humans are the actual problem in that equation when it asks why does it always come full circle and repeat and war is never ending. And it may try to find a solution.

The internet is the foundation for the solution. This is the only thing that evaporates the illusions and divisions rulers create for their own benefit. Otherwise we end up with red scares, witch hunts, inquisitions, and all the other same crap from history. Unfortunately they're chipping away at it - centralized social media is a powerful propaganda tool with no constitutional restraints, as is online censorship and surveillance.

historically? socialism.

including (but not limited to) punching nazis in the face until they can be properly buried six feet under.

This would be a goal, socialism is not an action to fight fascism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

socialism is comprised of a bunch of actions that do fight the root cause of fascism.

Unions and strikes

We figured it out in World War 2.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Ideally without 60-70 million people dying. (looks up "how to unbrainwash people")

Ok you don't want the way answer vote sonit doesn't happen. The second way guns.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

there are other types of disruptive protesting other than guns… for example, blocking the roads around tesla plants and dealerships.

also sabotage…

i would be happy to hear about any nazi’s getting murked but, most people shouldn’t even think about trying that…
i do think the targets of nazis should get guns though for self-defense….

tl;dr an immature person wants to die for a cause, a mature person is willing to live for a cause
