I thought the word for intolerance of opinion is "bigotry"? It seems to come from French, meaning sancitimony (a very useful word nowadays).
As for fascism, it means (or comes from) "sheaf", as in: a thing is made more resilient by binding around it many things that are individually weak. Whatever. Having read around it a bit, a characteristic of 20th-c fascism is a collaboration between state and industry. As came out in the podcast, "the state" is giving way to supra-national entities (escaping democracy), and industry is giving way to things like big-pharma, google (etc), bound up in mutual support. Maybe that deserves to be called neo-fascism.
I've no idea what socialism is. Perhaps it was a dream.
Interesting talk chaps. Couple of things. The Taylor Swift angle I do not believe is an accident or a coincidence. And it's just a few totalitarian tiptoes from cat sterilization to human sterilization. There are many Antinatalist trends in train at the moment, Trans ideology being just one. As for 'tolerance', it effectively means putting up with something you don't like.
Yes - I'm bemused by how little discussion there is of the Taylor Swift angle. The thing on cat sterilization is indeed more chilling than it at first seemed. In fact, we're always getting these 'ratchet' changes, whereby a seemingly small issue then becomes something much bigger.
I saw, first hand, how the trans-ideology was spoon-fed in school - at first, most teachers (and pupils) weren't aware this thing was taking off. Then suddenly, we're told schools are hot-beds of transphobia etc. Kids were being hauled up for being 'trans-phobic' who barely understood what that meant and how it had occurred. The teachers asked to adjudicate were also baffled - but quickly learnt not to question- or the activists would pounce. And every school had one.
Socialist fascism. Intolerance of opinion is what we are facing.
