a structured regime of physical exercise

Are you genuinely going to fucking tell me that when someone says “hey you look great, do you workout?” they are asking about your running program or your elliptical program?

Colloquially workout exclusively refers to strength/hypertrophy training, when someone asks “do you workout” they are not asking if you use a stationary bike.

There is workout, cardio,doing sports and training for a given sport.

Arguably coops are examples if communism at work, and there are plenty of big successful coops out there.

From another perspective there was never any real communist country.

I mean, they can set sight on Europe, but I am not sure it’s even legal here, so quite an Uphill battle.

Why would this only be accurate in the US? The nazis gained power after the economic collapse of 29 combined with the ww1 reparations destroying the German economy.

Now we are post 2 financial crises in 2008 and covid and AfD is on the rise in germany, Macron almost lost to he fascist party.

The Brothers of Italy had massive increase in recent elections.

Modi, Bolsonaro, who ever the fuck clown is they elected in Argentina.

Far-right populism is on the rise world wide as the economic struggles continue.

Depends on what you mean by workout, for me it exclusively represents “stuff you do” for muscle building.

In that case it’s not a workout.

The same way me playing squash is not a workout.

No you just actually have to lift weights, superset and not wander around aimlessly at the gym or look at your phone.

This one will absolutely wreck you cardio wise https://youtu.be/cClSiXBNGa8

I guess arguably, there are not many truly fascist cunts and those ones deserve the bat, but the current societal structure and systems in place allows for a predictable rise of fascism, by people who believe the lies fed to them, who want a better life for themselves and for their children and thus become a enablers/silent bystanders as fascism rises.

This is not the cure for fascism this is the last resort way of dealing with it.

Fascism is a byproduct of the capitalist system. When the inequality gets too great in society those at the bottom are looking for change and Fascism offers that for them.

It also captures and uses and abuses a lot of young people who are impressionable and want to do the right thing and make things better and they fall for the lies of fascists.

You combat fascism by bringing in good tax laws and social programs that makes sure the wealthy don’t get preposterously rich while the poor get so poor that working a full time job is no longer enough to meet their basic needs and more.

You cure fascism by getting rid of the hierarchical social structure that is capitalism that the fascist hierarchical system maps on to very well and create a more equal society that’s where it’s much harder if not impossible for fascists to take power.

For me this is the quintessential video essay on fascism (white fascism) https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng

I have realized one day that years ago when she invited me in for a beer after a night out when I went to pickup my sunglasses that I left with her, it probably wasn’t about the beer, though to be fair to me, I thought she was still seeing this guy I knew so I basically had that part of my brain turned off around her.

Maybe she was Canadian? You never know.

Indoor biking isn’t much of a workout either to be fair.

It’s one of those things that seeped into the public mind as part of going to the gym. Whereas you can get the same or better cardio while lifting weights that also builds your muscles, while indoor bike is imo just a meh, or borderline the “lazy” choice realistically for a lot of people.

It’s what you do when you don’t want to run because that’s hard, and the elliptical is too hard because that actually hits the whole body.

Ofc this is a generalization of the majority, individuals can still use it to great effect, but imo, meh.

It clearly depicts people driving to the gym only to get on an indoor bike.

There are literally fascists in Europe right now lol, it didn’t just go away, Macron almost to the fascist party and the AFD is the new fascist german party with huge support. Orbán fulfills at least half the the fascist checkbox if not more.

I am not sure if you have opened my links, but you probably should,

blaming immigrants, camps, detention without due peocess

You would see that these are explicitly mentioned as telltale sign of Fascism.

If you want here is an excellent video explaining fascism, specifically white fascism https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng

Yes, there is nationalism without any socialism, but saying they shouldn’t be called Nazis is diminishing the evil that is currently being done.

I have really not sure what you are getting at, they are nazis because National is pronounced as Nazional in german and that got shortened to nazi, they aren’t called nazis because it starts with Na and there is a zi in Sozialistiche.

Here it is how it’s pronounced if you are interested https://youtu.be/VxxFl5Xc8nc

And the socialism has literally nothing to do with it, NSDAP was socialist the same way north korea is democratic, you know it’s called Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

saying they shouldn’t be called Nazis is diminishing the evil that is currently being done.

Again, this implies that Nazi is like a stronger word for fascists, it’s not, it’s not like some is a fascist and then they do more bad and become a nazi. The political ideology is called fascism because it originates from Italy, from Mussolinis party.

All nazis are fascists. neo-nazis drew on the nazi movement and borrowed their imagery etc, but they never committed anything close to what the actual nazis did.

MAGAs are fascists who pretty much check all the checkboxes on the fascist list that as I said I have linked above.

No, as I explained it was a nickname like Krauts were the German soldiers.

But I guess colloquially it became interchangeable with the use of fascism.

Much like kleenex became a word to mean box of tissues even though it’s just a brand of it.

So fascism = box of tissues, nazi = kleenex.

Either way, like I said, it’s just being pedantic, fascist cunts are fascists cunts doesn’t matter if they are Nazis, Magas or Soviets.

I think you arguing perception and I am arguing disinformation or lack of information as in if you went around the streets and asked some people whether the bailout money was paid back you’d get more people thinking it was just given to them.

I disagree with the “no tangible” benefit part, the Worlds economy was about to completely collapse, if you think things are bad now I am sure it could have been much much worse, possibly ww3 post apocalyptic hell-hole.

I do agree the US government sucks and should have implemented more regulations after and fucked up when they didn’t. But on the other hand, you guys are the ones with a Fascist government so you do keep electing these people.

This is why I don’t like trump being called a nazi, a nazi was a nickname for the german fascist based on the name of the political party NSDAP, specifically the N part, National with the ti part being pronounced the same as the zi part in nazi.

Trump is an american fascist. When you call him a nazi it paints the picture of the ultra villified almost over the top hollywood nazi and it muddies the water and lets other fascist media pundits dismiss it over exaggeration.

Now after being pedantic I prefer these lists tlto check if you live in a fascist state

Spoiler alert: the US is under control of a fascist government.

AFAIK the US government also made money off of the 2008 bailouts, at least I am sure they had to pay it back, but for some reason I think it lives in people’s minds as it was like a one time gift of money to those banks and they didn’t have to pay it back or anything.

i thought it was a reference to Severance
