sw: Fascism and National Socialism are both revolutionary populist movements that trace their origins back to the "Fin d' Ciel" and the backlash against materialism and imperialism. Ideologically Vladimir Lenin, Benito Mussolini, and Woodrow Wilson all have far more in common with each-other than not. Modern emphasis on identity politics is essentially nothing more than fascism-lite.
So what?
sw: Racism discrimination based on Race and Culturalism is discrimination based percieved cultural traits. and while there is admittedly some overlap they are not the same thing.
When the claim is that black people have an inferior culture and therefore should be treated differently, yes, it is racism. "Race" remains the operative rationale for discrimination.
sw: You and "your buddies" are the ones who think that all white people are guilty until proven otherwise. You and "your buddies" are the ones who think minorities are not capable of advancing their own cause without assistance from the government. Who simply don't understand how a "right-winger" could possibly admire the writings of Booker T Washington and Thomas Sowell, or vote for Thomas Scott or Mia Love un-ironically.
And again we see your usual tactic of ascribing attitudes and beliefs to other people. No, I don't believe "all white people are guilty until proven otherwise." And no, it's not a matter of believing that "minorities are not capable of advancing their own cause without assistance from the government. It's a matter of believing that the government needs to protect the rights of everyone equally, and that applies to racial minorities who otherwise would face widespread discrimination -- as the history of the Jim Crow south indicates. And liberals who are familiar with the writings of Booker T. Washington, Thomas Sowell, have no trouble understanding why right -wingers would admire them. Nor would most of us have trouble believing right wingers would support the the candidacy of Mia Love, or, (if he's anything like her) Thomas Scott.
