    Oh man I wonder if the idf has offered to send its ball draining squad so she can have even more lil Charlies. Really hope so, him getting a postmortem handjob after having his voice box shot out seems like the perfect final indignity.

    She’s gotta do that pity grift hard, that and there’s a huge issue with death-morality and how its not really addressed nor handled well in our society, less so by fascists, but so it goes when you live by almost pure metaphysical idealism and then reality comes by and claps all cheeks.

      most fashies are religious of some sort, so i bet she’ll soothe herself with the idea of her husband going to the big man above for all his contributions to this world, which is where i find most issue with religion and its hard-on for objective morality. no way in hell am i gonna go on a tangent on the issues of christian heaven in a thread about a widow groping her hubby’s corpse on camera but men like kirk and their followers are the reason i am not religious nor believe in an afterlife.

        It just flows with their view of the world, a dynamic world can’t have a set morality, but the world of the fasc is static and unchanging, just like that of religion. I like to entertain all sorts of things for fun but I just can’t personally with religion.

          but the world of the fasc is static and unchanging

          that applies more to classical conservatism, i think. fascism as an ideology often strives to get rid of the present social hierarchy and instate a revised version of said hierarchy, to better accommodate the needs of the elite. but i get what you’re trying to say. religion is a mess i don’t want to be part of.

            For sure, but they tend to melt together The way I see it fascism sees the current time period as an aberration and previous eras esp the feudal era as golden static greatness rather than chaotic flux, they wish to return to the static, which never existed but they don’t gaf, the whole realization I think is what separates the two, I could be wrong here but its something I’m learning about.

              trying to define fascism is like trying to pin jelly to a wall, so your definition is as good as mine. the whole point of the ideology is that it adapts to the environment it’s in. but at least usually fascism has some charismatic leaders and cool visuals. i’m not sure if america could’ve picked a more embarrassing and corny administration to run their country to the ground.

                Fascism appropriates a lot of its imagery and aesthetics from other popular movements throughout time, its very vibey, think it was Dimitrov that wrote that fascism is the highest form of imperialism, that definitely fits too.

                  it takes imperialism and puts it on turbo. one common characteristic among past fascist states is their ultra-nationalism and the formation of unquestionable national identity. which makes sense, come to think of it; when the world falls apart, people tend to cling to the old and trustworthy rather than the new and untested. fascism just corrupts that old way of life into a system that defines itself by strict classes and the thirst for blood.

    Someone in the comments talking about how she should have done the lower button on the blazer up, it would be so annoying in the afterlife

    fascists are incapable of dressing themselves apparently, don’t button a blazer all the way

        it’s not a “feature” per se, it’s there to complete the look, it’s ornamentation. i mean, nobody’s stopping you from using that extra button, it just won’t look good

          Why does it “not look good”? Merely a convention that is entirely subjective.

          Bourgeois decadence. I think all the buttons buttoned looks better, whether on a shirt or on a jacket or on anything else.

          If the idiosyncratic wisdom of prevailing fashion said that an extraneous zipper along your butt crack looked good, I bet you’d wear garments that featured it.

            it’s subjective, yeah. so? i speak for the majority of society in general. it looks better that way to the majority of society, hence why that suggestion is a thing, and why its decoratively present. nobody is forcing you to leave it unbuttoned, it’s just a suggestion to make the garment look better in the eyes of the majority of the people. you’re mounting a resistance against the air.

            just because you don’t like something does not mean its “bourgeois decadence”, and the butt crack comment was unnecessary and personal

            go up to a proletarian with actual worries about job and society and try to explain to them that the unbuttoned button on suits is bourgeois decadence. see if they give a shit. make sure to mention it at the next CPC plenum too. online leftists are so fucking unserious

              Go up to a proletarian with a fully buttoned-up suit jacket and explain to them why it “won’t look good”, and how you personally speak for the majority of society ( international-community-1international-community-2 )

              If you weren’t brought up on four or five layers of ethnocentrism and bourgeois elitism, you would aesthetically see either no improvement or a detraction by unbuttoning one button. If you had the ability to think critically, you would very intuitively recognize how arbitrary it is, as did the 12 people that upvoted my comment.

              Get a better hobby than tone-policing 3-day-old comments. Picking an argument over defending the idiosyncracies of conventions in Western fashion is unsettlingly weird, for someone who only makes 15 comments a month.

              Ruthless critique of all that exists, vs. “it is what it is”

        100% this. I hate it so much, if it’s there then it’s to be used. Imagine this in other contexts, “no you’re not supposed to wear you winter gloves on both hands, because of some BS unwritten rule”
