I had trouble understanding fascism when I was in school (early-mid 90s), cause they put the political axis and apparently it was a lot of authoritarianism with free economics (some nationalization of industry of course). For the longest while I thought fascism was more free economics than pure authoritarian. Not that it sounded good anyways.
Now I do see it’s just pure authoritarian with a slight change, if you happen to follow their ideals they may leave you alone. Till you have a thought, say something to a neighbor or post a random thing online. In the end it’s all the same except a thin vineer of freedom. Unfortunately these days don’t need secret police the NSA or whichever agency for your situation, hears everything anyways.
What’s wrong with wanting to help everyone rather than sticking a boot in people’s necks for no reason anyways? I truly wish we could all come to some common ground, we only have one planet let’s figure out what works. Won’t happen I know but I can hope one day… we’ll all see our neighbors are cool. Mean unless the act like assholes but think i got my point across, not everyone acts like someone else no reason to use broad strokes.
Assuming this meant pirated tapes (unsure if that msg was for digital or not) but even digital has been going on longer than streaming services were available. Its like people forgot about napster and kazaa. Though to be fair they may not have been around for them but it’s not like older people had no options when the Internet was newer.
