Ilhan Omar might be the only member of Congress stupid enough to openly celebrate Kirk’s murder, which probably isn’t even in the top five most ignorant and hateful things she has said.
Well it depends on who you consider meaningful but yes. Influencers (to their audience), a congressional jeering for his moment of silence, the TMZ crew et cetera.
Nothing to see here. Just a normal response to all forms of media shrieking 24/7 about fascists.
Celebrate diversity.
Wonder Showzen gave us the best diversity celebration ever created almost 20 years ago, when MTV would still make fun of white racist liberals who mindlessly repeat diversity slogans while eagerly stereotyping minorities.
They also gave us the Slavery Appreciation song. Such a great show back when the subversive left still had a good sense of humor.

That was a great time in America. I think they just lost track of their roots and went off script en mass.
Now everything is back in order and we need pigmented people to do those low wage, menial tasks again. Thank god too. Cuz you can’t have fruit out there rotting in the fields or dishes piling up. They (pigmentally gifted) need to get busy so that the landed gentry can get back to thinking about things and other important stuff.

In local news, last night our woke city council voted to eliminate the 1:1 needle exchange requirement from a revised ordinance governing syringe service providers. This means more of the same we’ve experienced since they got rid of the requirement during COVID.
In simple terms, it means needles and other paraphernalia get handed out with no expectations whatsoever from the addict, and it has resulted in a LOT of needle waste all over town, especially in parks.
This is in the context of The Church of Safe Injection being condemned with no explanation given for how at least $300,000 in public money was actually spent. Pictures of that blighted hellhole can be seen upthread.
In good news, the Justice Department is suing Maine for failing to provide it with requested voter information. Gee, I wonder why that could be? Our Secretary of State and candidate for Governor Shenna Bellows insists that she is protecting us from fascism.

Just a quick question, probably a dumb one to which I already know the answer. Do they (the government, or whoever actually sends the money) ever do an audit of NGO’s, charities, etc? From all the nonsense I’ve seen this year starting with DOGE, and then following the outright insanity that is Lewiston from your updates (which I enjoy, keep it coming), it seems like an obscene amount of TAXPAYER money is just being thrown at all of these…..money sucks. Like, how does the Church of safe injection need that much money? whenever I have to buy needles at my local pharmacy, they’re like less than a dollar each, or something like that. My point is, are they actually purchasing THAT many needles that they need 300k? Or is that money going into nefarious places? I’d be interested in your take on this.

I’m sure it can happen in theory with an IRS audit or an investigation by the AG, but I know of no NGO’s operating in Maine who have been. Many of Lewiston’s nonprofits haven’t filed taxes since 2022, even some of the larger ones doing healthcare. They appear to be a black hole that sucks in public money, and lots of it.
In Trump news, ANTIFA has been designated a terrorist organization. I’m looking forward to all of the usual suspects explaining that it isn’t even real, or something along those lines. I guess it was the Girl Scouts who coordinated the harassment campaign against my barber while self-identifying as antifa.
Jimmy Kimmel got fired, too, which doesn’t bother me at all because his show is unfunny propaganda and probably was losing as much money as Colbert was.
Obama emerged from his lair to weigh in on Charlie Kirk and make it abundantly clear that he doesn’t share Kirk’s moderate views on government, considering Kirk’s ideas - not Obama’s ideas - to be the extreme position. I can’t believe I ever voted for that lying, subversive clown.
Related bit of history I wasn’t aware of until just now:

Yep.
Antifascism was and is still vital part of Russian propaganda. If you look certain Russian sources, they claim that I’m (and most of Europe) are living under fascist regimes.
It’s easy to generate a vague demon (like fascism, but you can insert almost anything here) and claim that people who disagree with you are ”those people”.
And sure. There are fascists in every country, in Russia they have developed unique kind of fascism. We even have openly fascistic minority party here, the Blue and Black Movement. But if we refer to the definition of fascism, would claim it’s very hard to find mainstream political movements from the west that are inherently fascists.
Merriam Webster: Fascism - a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized government headed by a [dictatorial] leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition.
It’s usually when people toss fascism around, they don’t use the term properly.

I don’t think there is a “proper” way to use it as long as National Socialism has to be lumped in with it. IIRC, Hitler only referred to his party as “fascist” on one or two occasions. He was always very “on-brand” with the term “National Socialism”.
This is reflected in the dictionary definition you just shared. Italian Fascists - the ones who coined the term - were not racist in their policies until 1938 when they entered into an alliance with National Socialist Germany.
Soviet Communists loved to lump all their enemies under the label, with military actions against Romanians described as “beating back the fascists” in after action battle reports.
It would be similar to German generals saying “Ze Marxists have landed at Normandy, Mein fuhrer”.
It’s really quite wild how WWII propaganda still shapes our modern discourse. Calling both National Socialism and American Constitutional Republicans “right-wing” as if they have enough in common to share that label is probably the most successful propaganda effort in modern history.
National Socialism and fascism are only “right wing” compared to Marxist-Leninism. Mussolini was an actual socialist newspaper editor before ditching internationalism for nationalism, but keeping the collectivism.
It does not have to be. It was a form of fascism. Not THE fascism.
Nazis were unique, since they were first who added racism to fascism, like you said. They also added a bunch of weird pagan mysticism to the mix.
But like we’ve discussed. Political definitions are not easy, and people are using them quite freely.
I’ve been labelled as a fascist once, other guy blamed me being too liberal leftist later. One group of feminists accused me from misogynism, but here I’m a simp. Go and figure.
People just blurp out what ever trendy word poop they’ve been consuming.

More like 100 years ago, but yeah they really sprung up in the USA recently.
I’m looking forward to all of the ridiculous arguments over this one. They are awful people and deserve to be ruthlessly mocked for their abject stupidity and malicious, twisted thinking.
Especially stupid are the ones who compare themselves to WWII combat veterans. No, dipshit, my grandfather did not wear all black, spray paint graffiti, and smash things, nor did he ever mention anything about transgender education in kindergarten.
Fucking twats.
