My point is not that fascism is just hate. I am sure you understood it though because you made your position clear.

Still I am intrigued to read more about your theories. That STEM and humanities meetup or the complex philosophical system that I don't understand, could you give me a hint on where to start digging?

Thanks a lot. By chance, do you know a lemmy channel where content in that area is posted?

Exactly.

I will look into that Nietzsche though.

Almost funny that you suggest him while he was instrumentalized by the fascists as a fascist.

It's still strange that you stress punching nazis while you have a deeper understanding of their mentality. Don't people fall back to group strength when they feel vulnerable themselves? Punching Nazis will confirm that vulnerability.

Well, I have watched that monk movie.

So you see fascism as something else than colonialism of white people, as something with a spiritual component.

That solipsism, isn't that something that also happens in consumerism and nowadays internet entertainment bubbles?

I would like to argue that it's worthwhile to figure out how to reach people in that mental state because fascism and that state of mind are so ubiquitous that violence cannot win.

Don't those scholars have any suggestions beyond violence?

solipsism

Not looking it up, it's a worldview where only the person themselve is valid. Kind of like hedonism but without the joy or like utilitarism but without the concept for people.

they can’t be cured.

I like to think of zombie movies as reflections on that problem. They imprint that there is no healing.

once you get to this point

Is it space or matter? You cannot unmix a drink but you can distill the alcohol and you can reverse a position unless it's near a black whole.

If we cannot reverse nazis then we lack enough knowledge of the mind. There must be a reason that somebody is rejecting truth, reality and the existance of other people. If we can identify that and show that it is irreversable then punching may be necessary. Otherwise we have found our own way of ignoring humans.

Think Musk and his daughter. It's all political but at the core it's hurt feelings.

Wow the arrogance and gatekeeping on you
