Rise of radicalism worrying

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

I think it's pretty worrying that people are joining altright, neonazist and other groups. Don't they realize they are seeking easy answers provided by demagogues, easy answers to hard problems so to speak. Rampant antisemitism too. I find it rather worrying that it is happening again despite it was only 80 years ago since WW2. Fascism only leads to genocide, imperialism, authoritarianism, brutal repression and no free press.
Again, i find it rather worrying. I just want to preserve our functioning republic.

Which Republic?
The problems you mention are across the pond as anywhere.

[Milchshake]

As long as companies like a FOX news or a Facebook can profit off of radicalization, it's going to continue as a problem.

Make it not cool... like have a child anamorphic cartoon character have it as a catch phrase. Like a goofy lizard on a surf board screaming “Burn it all down”...

When there arent viable left and righ parties then people move to extremes it happens everywhere

The US has a viable right-wing party with the democrats. And the GoP for the nutjobbers.

I'm confused I thought we were talking about radicalizing not reactionaries.

Younger generations are being brought up in a more socially liberal world, and I don’t see that changing. I predict that we’ll eventually get to a point where even being a Republican, is not acceptable in society anymore.

That will be an awesome time to live in.

The label will just change.

[JohnBrown1917]

Fascists will remain fascists.

Fascists will remain fascists.

And here we have a fine example of the problem the op worries about.

Ah, yes, opposing fascism is the real problem.

What do you expect when people call me a white straight male that is born with white supremacy and only got things in his life because of my skin color.
Ofc i become more radical and the more you push me the more i will start to resist, and this is the result of the left and that they are very racist toward white people btw.

I'm far more concerned with the radicalization of the left than I am the right, especially as it's socially acceptable to be a radical leftist.

glad someone agrees with me

lol it's just paranoia. All society has to do is convince people to never be violent and coercive and to judge people purely based on the individual. If we do that then the extremists and authoritarians will go away. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

For the time being the far right worry me more as they have far more political power, the crazy left have more cultural power but have been unable so far to translate it into the kind of political power that the right has.

If the right or left doesn't control both chambers of Congress and the presidency then I don't understand why anyone would be concerned about that.

Sorry, I was more thinking of the UK situation right now.

Say that to the classic liberals...

I’m a straight white male and have no clue what you are talking about. Who is telling you this shit and why do you believe them?

Yeah, why don’t people complain about extreme altruism? Why is that acceptable and money worship isn’t?

[Pony Soldier]

People in here acting like it's only the right that has psycho cults. Yeah, lets not talk about people like Antifa and Black Lives Matter looting, burning, rioting, and harassing completely innocent people because they're white. They're not racist at all it's only the people on the right...ok.

What I find more concerning is the fact that these liberals are willing to lay down and give up their freedoms and rights to democrats who give out orders like tyrants and act like they're actual laws and then get mad when people and even their own police departments disobey them.

These democrats are being exposed for who they really are, socialist tyrants who want total control over it's citizens and seemingly everyone on the left embrace it. They're not even hiding it either. The ysay it right to the camera They just think the government is going to take care of all of them. That they're going to hold them in their arms like a wittle baby and tell them everything is going to be ok.

So don't pretend like it's only the right. If anything a few white trash racists are nothing compared to literal armies of socialists who want to turn our country into a world of communism, anarchy, and racial supremacy who silence and destroy anything in their way that doesn't align with their agenda. The fact that democrats have hardly said anything about them to denounce their actions says volumes. Yet there they were asking Trump to denounce white supremacy for 4 years when he's already said it about 20 times.
