Death of a Nation review

Fascism is right wing nationalist ideology taken to its logical extreme.

Communism is left wing Internationale ideology taken to its logical extreme.

I am of the right. If you’re going to force liberals and leftists to accept that communists are extremist members of their political persuasions then we need to accept that extreme rightists like the Fascists are borne out of right wing ideology.

Ultimately this comes down to the insane belief that leftists are inherently evil.

No, I bailed on Dinesh D’Souza when he wrote a book saying American conservatives should make common cause with Islamic fundamentalists against American liberals and 9/11 was really liberals’ fault because if we hadn’t had a crude culture that made them mad, they wouldn’t have done it.

I wouldn’t knee jerk defend this guy if you’re not familiar with his work just because he’s quote unquote conservative. He’s a ■■■■■■■ moron.

The SA were not the only casualties of the Night of Long Knives.

I’m not. I don’t even know who he is. I was just wondering about the movie.

And maintaining the balance. :wink:

Yeah, bringing up Michael Moore for no reason doesn’t seem like a knee jerk reaction at all.

That’s the balance.

You know that quote that morons on the internet always misattribute to Hitler?

“We are Socialists, enemies, mortal enemies of the present capitalist economic system with its exploitation of the economically weak, with its injustice in wages, with its immoral evaluation of individuals according to wealth and money instead of responsibility and achievement, and we are determined under all circumstances to abolish this system!”

That was Gregor Strasser who said that, not Hitler.

Whataboutism? Really?

Of course. The only known antidote to hypocrisy.

Saying D’Souza is a clown is just facts. It’s not hypocrisy to say he’s a hack. Unless it’s some kind of knee jerk reaction because he’s on “your side.”

did you read the platform?

i would just think that if he spouted falsehoods you would provide some points to refute.

No it isn’t. Your opinion is not a fact. It is your opinion.

Strasser was a nazi, but read the platform and then say it is right wing.

Saying you guys should make common cause with Islamic fundamentalists against liberals is just objective ■■■■■■■ lunacy. You should look into this guy before you defend him just because he’s a conservative.

what qualifies as right wing, free markets, free press, free enterprise, individual rights and what else, maybe rule of law.

what about Mussolini, was he right wing?

it did occur to me, but the beliefs espoused in the document are left wing not free enterprise.

I’m not defending him. No it isn’t. There’s nothing objective about it.

Don’t even get me started on D’Souza’s creation vs evolution debates. Painful to watch.

So you’re position here is that you’re pointing out the hypocrisy of you don’t even actually know what because you don’t know anything about this guy? That about cover it?
