How does fascism happen?

The amount of currency in existence is not finite lol.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It absolutely is finite, there is an economic theory that says wealth is theoretically infinite, but it's theory, not reality.

I…. Love/Hate the fact that a lot of people complained that the ending of the book and the movie differed so much, and only few of those people actually understood the meaning of the book
...What book?

It absolutely isn’t. Currency is printed all the time lol.

I've noted that. Tighten wages, blame the immigrants. Turn sentiment against them, gradually dehumanize them, then use force to ship them out. Apply to group of choice - foreign or domestic. 'Protecting rights' is just a rallying cry and a tool for the politicians.
The people crying for illegal immigrants to be allowed to stay are the ones who want wages to stay low, ironically. Illegals are used as dirt cheap labor because of their illegal status, and deporting them and only hiring legal citizens would drastically increase the average wage.

That’s communism. And capitalism. And every other government system.
Congratulations, you understood the assignment.

1+? Is a finite number, even if you don't know what it is
If you look at the amount of currency at any given point in time you can absolutely track every debt and dollar to a number, the fact that that number is always changing does not stop it from being finite.
You're really embarrassing yourself here

I've always been curious how fascism takes hold, and how people like Hitler, Stalin. etc rise to power. Do people not see what is happening? Shouldn't hindsight, foresight and common sense kick in at some point? I used t think they were like mob bosses early on - anyone disagreeing with them ends up in a barrel, but surely were civilized and educated by now?
It seems the people don't want to jeopardize their comfortable livelihoods and individual lives so expect the 'powerful elected officials' to do their bidding. After all, the public gave them the power to do just that. Otoh, the politicians don't want to jeopardize their cushy jobs and accumulated power by challenging the majority, so are waiting for the public to start a jan6 situation so they can point and say, 'see, the people are unhappy so we should act'.
It's a shitstorm of no consequences and a man child hacking away at the country and no one seems to be doing anything meaningful. I'm literally watching fascism take place.
History/ psychology/ sociology majors care to chime in?
there are many ways it can happen.

watch that and you'll have a better idea to the answer you're asking.

wrote last edited by [email protected]So in your opinion, infinite doesn't exist? If you can keep printing money whenever you want, no, the amount of currency in existence is not finite. What is the limit of how much of a currency can be created? What is the limit of USD? If it's finite then you should be able to answer.
You’re really embarrassing yourself here
Not me who's doing that lol. You just said this lol....

Is human population infinite too? More babies are made all the time, i don't know if there's a limit to how many can be born

wrote last edited by [email protected]Mismanagement and misplaced grievances.
The former is the cause for 99% of the problems societies face.
Essentially, conmen will con useful idiots, and then the useful idiots will get mad at their peers instead of their rulers because it's easier.
Stupidity is also a major factor, because useful idiots aren't capable of understanding how they're being taken for a ride.

Bigotry, that's how. People have problems, the economy is struggling. They need a scapegoat. So someone like Hitler or Trump convince them that all their problems are caused by jews or immigrants or LGBT people or some other minority group and that everything will be fixed by getting rid of that group
Why is the economy struggling while rich people live in luxury?
I'd say what's causing people grief is a bigger trigger for fascism than how they react to it.
-
Or that all their problems are caused by and will be fixed by getting rid of all of the people who disagree with their ideologies and political allegiance. They call for censorship of those people, they try to get them de-platformed/fired and arrested for wrong-think, outlaw their ability to get any power, and they try to paint them as all sorts of horrible things and say that if you disagree then you’re also those horrible things.
Radicalisation, basically, and if you think it’s only one side doing it, you’re well on your way.
I agree.

Go back to middle school math, where they teach you the difference between infinite numbers and finite numbers

wrote last edited by [email protected]No, humanity leads to fascism without the correct controls in place. It's an unfortunate side effect of our "survival of the fittest" driving our evolution as a species. Since greed usually wins out, it was selected for in our species, and the only thing stopping it is our civility, which is rather new to our species as a whole.

I wonder if the people in here will see the irony in all of them making one main enemy/villain the cause of the problem (even if it is not), the most effective trick ever?
Of course they won’t. They couldn’t possibly be the ones falling for it, they’re too educated and on the right side of history! Just like they’ve been told! Just like the narrative!
I have just described a process which is just my opinion, observation. Then, I think, it is another topic which can be asked in the community

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yes, because there is no definitive end number.
You’re acting like the definitions for these words don’t exist
. The human population is currently x. The total possible human population is infinite because it has no definitive number that it hits and ends. -

Ah so now you’re pretending like you were talking about something different since you got corrected lol

And there’s no government type that has the correct controls in place?
