Wether or not you end up a white supremacist, depends on local socio-economic factors. Got a domineering racist dad, friends or town to raise you that way? You’re more likely to turn out fascist and you’ll be so rooted in the ideology that it becomes your identity. Don’t have that and are raised in America’s coastal cities? Bigger chance to become anti-fascist. Otherwise the two have more in common then they’d think. Both have an extremely narrow world view, inability to see things from another’s perspective, inability to use subtly and nuance to maintain a cohesive society, tie their sense of identity to moral outrage and reinforce that identity through extreme acts of violence. Their side must come out victorious at all cost, even if that means being just just as bad as the other. Every revolution in history from the Spanish civil war to the Russian and German revolution had enough individuals on both sides and the outcome was universally acts of atrocity on both sides. The only difference is that historically the right has won out to commit greater atrocicities, allowing antifa to seem slightly less worse. During the Spanish civil war, fascist acts of atrocity were committed on a large scale by the fascists organising them from the top down as a misguided tenet and often against innocent people and bystanders. Anti-fascist acts of atrocity were carried out en masses by misguided individuals with a misguided grudge, often against innocent people or bystanders. If you’re not with us, you’re against us! Otherwise they’re the same individuals. Circumstance just stamped them with a different banner in their development. Edited by Skirlasvoud at 10:47:52 21-08-2018 |
