The crying “History” button at the top right sends its regards. Yes, the World Jewish Congress has published a report that demands Wikipedia add a feature to view the history of articles, see what actions were performed by whom, and “host forums and discussions within the Wikipedia community to address concerns about neutrality and gather feedback for policy improvements”. It also wants to force all admins and above to reveal their real names.
Fascists.
these days, unfortunately… “They are the same picture”
This’ll have to do as I don’t know how to post images on this client.

Conservatism has always been a thin veil to disguise greed. It’s only about “maintaining the status quo” if the status quo gets you a lot of money already, otherwise it’s about reducing privileges for your own benefit and to everyone else’s detriment. All the while screaming “think of the children”, as some sort of justification.
Fully agreed, sadly…
Useless neolibs being happy with ‘bipartisanship’ with fascists and muderous lunatics for decades has not helped matters either.
I mean it’s easy to point a finger at an out-group and ‘orher’ the problem away to something amorphous like fascism or conservatism or theocracy… But it doesn’t help right what’s wrong.
I think it boils more purely down to education. People haven’t been getting a good public education in this country aside from New England, New York, and the West Coast. Some watery areas of the Canadian border, and Colorado too. But beyond that? We’ve kinda incubated a big dumb angry cohort that eats this shit up.
Your point about lack of education is very much valid. But in the context of this article, these are not uneducated people.
The World Jewish Congress might be headquartered in New York, but I wouldn’t call it an American org. It was founded in Geneva, is headed by a Rothschild (French banker) and serves to forward the causes of Israel as a priority.
The point is the Fascists taking advantage of people’s ignorance and at times stupidy, even taking advantage of Mass Media and (nowdays) information speadring media on the Internet to spread lies and distortions of truth and even weakening education when the have power in order to keep people ignorant and easy to manipulate.
Sure, common people are to blame, partly, and IMHO the sociopaths taking advantage of them are the ones with most of the blame.
Or putting things differently: if I was to constantly offer cake to a morbidly overwheight person who I knew has trouble controlling themselves when it comes to sweet things, they would be to blame for eating the cake but, IMHO, I would be a lot more to blame for knowingly and repeatebly creating that situation were they would end up eating cake.
So, yeah, it’s still down to Fascists, the real Fascists, not the numpties convinced by their lies.
I think theres some of that, but also neoliberalism has been a global plague for 40 years. With them at the wheel theres been little organized pushback against society’s worst elements for so long that much of the “liberal” west is openly embracing and enabling war crimes.
Capitalism
IMO, there can be capitalism without fascism; fascism can subvert every society, no matter what it’s based on.
I wasn’t disagreeing just adding to the chain of things wrong with the world :)
Capitalism loves fascism because it helps inequality. Its hard to exploit a society where everyone is equal, helpful and tolerant.
