Absolutely, and I've been saying this for a few years now. I only base my conclusion on being a historian that's long studied this, and more importantly, having half my family be jewish that lived through the Holocaust and they've been seeing this happening and are terrified (and obviously conservative and can't understand why so many fake Jews/Jews in name only are so liberal/left, especially given we aren't even particularly Jewish and tend to fall in the secular/"cultural" category]
It's become especially obvious since Trump ran for president. Conservatives and Trump supporters are literally treated as Jews in Nazi Germany. Dehumanized completely, referred to as the worst names, perceived as the worst people responsible for all of society's ills, thus "justifying" any actions against them, because after all, who could argue against "punching a Nazi?" So now we're literally being hunted -- murdered and it's ok, defend ourselves from murder and it's not ok, and we're actually the bad guys. They've been so brainwashed to believe an entire group of people are something that they aren't, and something that's subhuman or inferior. If you genuinely believed someone was evil, you'd justify anything against them.
Now add in being straight, white, male... and you're just screwed. But even if you fall into one of the categories they tend to love (because they think they own those identities), you're still viewed the same way, because you're viewed as an apostate or a heretic to the woke intersectional mob. My brother, for instance, is gay. He was basically celebrated for coming out as gay, but demonized for coming out as conservative/Trump supporter. Same goes if you're black, or any other "protected class," or intersectional and/or marginalized identity.
probs just my white privilege talking (which has put me at a disadvantage every step of the way. Like when I didn't get a job because somebody checked off more "woke" boxes than I did. Was even told I was a finalist because of how qualified and experienced I was. Learned it was an "intersectional" who got it instead of me. Turned out they sucked at their job, was promptly fired, and I did eventually get a call back... but still. Same went for college and grad school... Had to work wayyyy harder and get wayyy better grades to get into the same school, and even still, got way less financial aid because "white male," even though I was poorer than the rest w/ better grades -- worked 2 jobs to put myself through, and had to listen to students working with me complain about their 15 hour workweek [when I was working anywhere from 45-65 hrs a week depending]. And after getting an A in a class, even had a student [white liberal female] tell me I only got an A because I was a white male)
There are people on the left that honestly think that "being racist" is the worst possible thing you can be. As in, better to have racist opinions or a murderer? They choose murderer.
So, when you call a white person the worst name you can call a white person: a racist: It serves to justify pretty much whatever happens next.
Stalin called the Kulaks parasites. The Hutus called the Tutsis cockroaches. Its all in the lead up to the liquidation of the class whose belongings they want to take.
And what is a "racist?" The left will never define what that is, because it would mean that they themselves are the racists. Diversity pushes? Racism. Telling whites to understand "white fragility". Racism. Claiming that things like nuclear families are racist? Racism. Saying criminal background checks are racist? Why make that claim? Saying that using the SAT is racist? Why make that claim? There is sooooo much racism underlying the claims of racism by the left.
Of course, everything is racism now. The only thing that isn't, is genuine, grade-A racism towards a white person. Because you can't be racist towards a white, now that we've redefined what "racism" means (adding in elements like "asymmetry of power," and whatnot) with all the bullshit Critical Race Theory. So now we've got actual racists like Robin DiAngelo, openly admitting their own racism, projecting it onto all other whites, and telling the whole world that all whites are inherently racist, and the only solution is more... racism? We must actively be racist now (against whites, and by treating people differently based on race) to create not equality but equity -- My program is, unfortunately, heavy on Critical Theory, so I'm about as informed in this area as someone like James Lindsay [edit, want to add this isn't a negative for James. He's great, and exposing all this, as I'm trying to as well, in academia. Recommend everyone check him and Prof Boghossian out. They aren't Trump supporters, but they're at least "based" in this particular area]-- as frustrating as that is, it is helpful in at least recognizing the tactics they use and effectively dismantling their arguments. I hate being in academia, but I have at least learned how to discreetly drop red pills to these intersectional wokees
edit - Just a funny anecdote: had a moron on FB [and this moron is an old friend, too... and one that is an actual biology Ph.D researcher and professor... because academia has been totally overtaken by the Critical Theory, intersectional idiots] telling me a while ago how being colorblind is racist. Then, just recently, they posted the MLK "I have a dream" speech, and I promptly commented and reminded them of our earlier conversation on facebook, shared a screenshot, and let them know that they were racist, along with MLK, by their own logic. And still, an academic like this, won't hear anything from someone like me, equally as credentialed, but whose background is actually in these stupid fields stemming from critical theory. I try and explain the history of this field, its purpose, inherent marxism, and how they even explicitly outline their aims/goals, but he's too convinced he's right (even though I have the unfortunate background that has me well versed in all the Marcuse, Derrida, Horkeimer, Foucault, Gramsci, Crenshaw, Judith Butler... all the idiots whose work is built on a foundation of Frankfurt school cultural marxism and destruction of traditional western values, culture and institutions) . Must have been through too many re-education workshops
Absolutely -- as I just responded to another comment...
"I'm with you, and my attitude has changed greatly this year alone. I'm far more vocal now, and they can call me whatever they want, now. The lines are drawn, the heads being counted, and I'm not shy about what side I'm on. They want war. They're already at war. High time those with their head in the sand recognize that (not advocating for violence... yet. But I am advocating for everyone coming to this realization, preparing to defend ourselves and country/values, and organizing together to those ends)"
Nothing that the Frankfurt school discovered was actually experienced in the real world. It was just twisted nonsense that lead towards the chaos of today.
Racist and Racism are words invented by leftists to justify murder and persecution of their opponents in the Soviet Union.Racist and Racism are vague concepts because their definition is too vague and broad to be considered seriously.
Americans and other western countries should take a look at how Asia,Arabia,Eastern Europe preserve their heritage and then they will realize that “racist” is just a slur that can mean anything.
100% correct. What's even more insidious is that the racial component is just one major weapon they use, and "racism" is their mighty sword, but at the end of the day, it's all ideological bigotry, which makes it even more terrifying. Because even when you have the correct "identity" markers, or race, you can still be an enemy on ideological grounds. It blurs the lines of who their enemy is, and who to include in their genocide. Anyone can break from the ideology on something and suddenly find themselves going from an "ally" to being at the wrong end of the barrel.
Edit: though this is still identical to the Nazis. While Jews were essentially the ones targeted, it still fell on ideological grounds, and plenty of non-jews could find themselves in the same ghettos or camps for being dissenters, or not ideologically aligning. So at the end of the day, Jews were the easy target, easy to dehumanize and place blame, but ideological dissent was the main culprit; just as today, being white (and especially male) is the main target, and easy way to identify the enemy, but it's ultimately ideological. It explains best why so many whites are willing to be "allies" and vocalize their support, apologize for their whiteness and do everything to prove they're committed to the ideology and "antiracism" -- but they'll be first against the wall when the time comes, wishing they realized earlier what we all already know, just because they were so terrified of being labelled a "racist"
another edit: what's worse is this is actually making people racist. While I still remain not racist, and judge on character and not race, I've admittedly changed my views a lot. So while I still treat all equally, based on character, I do recognize the very real and present danger, and thus act accordingly, placing my own above all else (and "my own" isn't exclusive to race/identity/ethnicity -- though a major component -- but accounts for ideology as well, when identifying who the threat is). But others are becoming genuine racists, on both sides... something that wasn't even an issue until Obama wreaked havoc on this country and our culture

edit: my family is already at the point of stocking up supplies and arms/ammo, and have a full contingency plan in place (location, meeting place, who else is involved, and currently looking to purchase a big plot of land w/ fresh water source and sustainable land. Works for regular living in a normal world, but also helps serve as a kind of compound if needed). Finances, and vehicles for storing value and currency, has been diversified to protect us as well
Like when I didn't get a job because somebody checked off more "woke" boxes than I did. Was even told I was a finalist because of how qualified and experienced I was.
Had a friend, newly married, no parents in the picture looking for a place to live. Found a great place recently built. Went to go apply. They looked at his income and frowned, said they were sorry he couldn't qualify, it was newly built section 8. Sorry.
Yup, happened to us a few years ago when we lived in a shittier area. All the super nice and new apartments, we couldn't get in because we didn't qualify for section 8, so we were forced to rent a unit in a shitty 3-family that cost even more money than the nice, brand new apartments that you could only rent if you had no money. It's not like we were rolling in dough, either, and were probably right around the poverty line. We probably even could have qualified for all those benefits, but we have values and choose not to mooch off the system, so I just worked more hours/overtime instead of begging big daddy government for help. So there we were, stuck in a shitty unit that had multiple break-in attempts, multiple hit and runs smashing our cars parked outside, and shootings occurring fairly regularly.
In the early 90's I took a college class that required a "team" research paper. I did most of the research and writing, the 2 other "team" mates both got A's on the paper and I got a B. I was the only white person of the 3. How the hell does that happen?

Yeah, Google changed the definition of fascist to be right wing.
I would like to see many changed 2020 definitions with 1990's definitions to expose this.
How can a state system that controls all the markets and all the businesses be right wing?
There is great similarity between fascism and communism, and really no similarity between either of the two and a free market laissez faire economy
