Regarding Vanguard-defections and the so-called "Meme"-coalition or Why fascism isn't fucking funny

---

Disclaimer: I already see Spudgunn and other assorted trash commenting on how "they're not a fascist party" etc etc in the manner even our fucking speaker has fallen for. But the thing is, I have a very specific category of people in mind, and when I say "fascist" the concept that springs into most minds colloquially is that category, of which Vanguard are a subset whether or not some internet teenagers think there's pedantics to be had. What I mean with fascism is glass-fucking-clear and everything else is idiotic derailment.

This is how words work, kindergarten fucking stuff.

Recently there has been a wave of members defecting to the Vanguard, among them long-time members like /u/rlack /u/peter199. There's also been prevalent rumours about several parties joining into what they hope to make the OO, with UKIP and Plaid becoming junior parties to Vanguard. There's also been discussions around the resignation of Dan and the badness he mentioned as well as questioning of many on the lefts disdain with fascism. So with an increasing amount of people caught up with fascism on this subreddit and further normalisation of their presence I feel I might as well make myself clear.

When people like rlack and peter and wagbo associate with the vanguard they aren't being haha meme funny. Fascism isn't a fucking joke.

People like to make fun off the frequent "no platform" tastic employed by the left, but people need to understand that we do it just because we particularly disagree with fascism, but that really bad things happen when we don't.

What happens is that Vanguard becomes tolerated, they see themselves as valid members of the community. And when this happens to fascism, historically, in the present, in every way, they start hurting people. The Vanguard has already driven people off this sub (and no Spudgunn, it isn't a fucking coincidence you have the worst bans-to-membership ratio), they're confident enough to directly harass people unquestionedly for who they are, they're explicitly stated they support policies which drives people to suicide in real life and they made a fucking video where they glorified hypothetically murdering multiple other members of the house. That video might've been amusing, but it was also fucking insane if you bother to think about it, and nobody pointing that out is absolutely terrifying.

Fascism is opposed to the very being of many of us. GSRM, minorities, political opponents, disabled, whatever. Most of us who they oppose and have actually come in contact with them in real life knows what I am talking about. I've had friends gotten beat up, I have had jewish classmates afraid to come to school after death threats, my father has scars still, and my grandfather still mourns a colleague who was fucking murdered last time fascism had a wave of success in Europe. And I only live in Sweden!

And sure, they can spout bullshit about "cultural nationalism" and stuff, but that exact same pattern exists in real-life parties. And those parties still end up wearing swastikas to parties, and their electoral success is still coupled with a massive increase in hate crime and abuse.

Them renaming their bullshit isn't going to help when they run after you with iron fucking pipes.

And no, I will not be "mature" about fascism like some pompous above-the-fray fuckwits, because when you have "caring about emotion and intuition over reason" as part of your ideology reasoning sort of goes out the window. Trying to is just further normalising them and such idealistic and idiotic lollydaddling is absolutely the largest superstructural reason for fascism winning grounds again in recent years

So no you're not being fucking funny. You're contributing to people's suffering and you're sure as hell contributing towards making /r/mhoc one of the most toxic communities on reddit. We're already seeing overwhelming signs of it.

And, so it doesn't matter if people agree with you on some policy, or if I thought you were a cool person earlier, or if you and socialists got along just fine weeks before. You've joined up with organisations that hates me and many of us, and everything I am and we are. You're not a friend, and to me you are less than human. Talk to me when you've slipped out of the boots and the uniform.

I will not read or reply to comments.
