Not knowing about fascism and posting about it to own a dude on a message board is a pretty privileged position too imo

I think everybody would do well to read at least a Wikipedia page about Italian and German fascism. Perhaps some Dylan Riley for the academics in the room.
It’s not as simple as some of y’all seem to think it is
first the came for the content, then the came for the content police
i'm a little confused about the specification of early 20th century fascism in Italy/Germany vs whatever we're comparing it to.
what are the appreciable differences WRT this conversation?
I am guessing this is directed at me, can you give a specific Riley reference? He's got a loooooooong CV.
i'm pretty sure that's the whole point of the "first they came for me" thing
I think Ph's point is valid. Us white guys can, if confronted, easily say "Oh yeah, I totally hate Mexicans, you shouldn't beat me up!"
PH is seemingly incapable of intersectional political analysis, and I don’t think it’s helpful to entertain his narrow-mindedness. If PH refuses to respect my political concerns, dismissing my agency as “privilege” on the basis of my race, then he can get fucked, simple as that. I don’t owe him a goddamn thing. Solidarity means respecting each other and sharing a goal, not feeling entitled to white political surrogacy.
I don’t need to read about Italian/German fascism to learn about how American white people have treated marginalized groups. Those fascists were inspired by the success of Jim Crow that my grandparents lived through.
No need for a suffering Olympics though. MDMH just underestimates how bad things can get.
