Alright, so this will probably need some explanation, because folks are way too quick to jump to horrible conclusions.
This was created due to several folk recently falsely labelling me as a fascist, nazi and/or white supremacist.
I am none of these things. And started to think about how they could have even come to such a flawed conclusion.
So ended up putting together this handy step by step guide, so that folks could see 'how to be a fascist' in the flawed reasoning of many folks.
1: Oppose ALL authoritarian regimes, including fascism.
- Now this one is interesting. Because, ordinarily, being opposed to the very concept and foundational need of fascism, that of authoritarian government, would mean that you are fundamentally against it. However, if you oppose ALL authoritarian forms of governance, including communism. Then folks will instantly think that you are a fascist. Not sure how though. It just happens magically.
2: Accept everyone for WHO they are and not WHAT they are.
- Yeah, if you believe that who a person is, their action, what they say/do and how they go about things, is more important than how someone just happens to be born... something that is completely out of their control... apparently you are a racist. And therefore, since you have now been labelled a racist, that makes you a white supremacist. Apparently.
3: Oppose the use of violence except in self defence and competition.
- Well yeah. This is the point that we are at now, apparently. If you oppose violence, political violence, avocation of violence, things like that, apparently this means that you support nazis. I have been told this. In all seriousness. Even though opposing violence makes you go against those extreme authoritarian governance regimes such as fascism and communism. Apparently by opposing it you support nazis... according to some. If you point out how the far left initiated this violence, and the media justified and supported it, and now the far right are finally starting to be violent too. Apparently this means that you support violence. Even though it goes against what you were talking about, and against what you have said.
4: Make art and comments trying to highlight the extreme tribalism creeping through the west.
- Unfortunately speaking truth to those who don't want to hear it will get you falsely labelled as well. If you don't like just how exterme and tribalistic the far left and far right are, and how both sides are advocating for violence. Well then, you are just a horrible individual who support fascism.. somehow.
5: Try to build bridges rather than burning them.
- Yeah... if you try and be nice to folks who have been falsely accused of horrible things. Then that means that you apparently, magically, support those horrible things. Even if all you are trying to do is be friendly. You will get falsely called a fascist, purely because you drew art for someone in an attempt to be kind. That is right, being kind is fascism in the eyes of some.
6: Support freedom of speech.
- Yeah, if you don't already know about this. Apparently according to many, freedom of speech is just a nazi dogwhistle. That is right. That thing that the nazis never supported, is apparently secretly a nazi thing. And avocation for and support of, freedom of speech, purely means that you are trying to support nazi ideals. Even though you aren't, at all, in any way.
So there you have it.
The flawed reasoning that has gotten me falsely labelled as a nazi, fascist and white supremacist by some.
Really, I mean, this is quite clearly why we need #AltFurry
