    Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples. It’s got nothing to do with skin colour, it just so happens that a lot of colonialism we learn about nowadays was done by western nations like the UK and US. Or would you argue Saddam Hussein wasn’t a fascist? How about Plínio Salgado?

      That is literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard said in regards to this subject.

        Oh yeah? Go ahead and elucidate how violence against a colonised people isn’t exactly the same as violence against the outgroup of an established society. The point of both is subjugation and control. Twit.

          Oh yeah?

          Yeah. Here, I’ll say it again because you seem so bewildered by anyone challenging your rose-colored view of “western” (ie, white) imperialism. This…

          Fascism is against your own people, colonialism is against other peoples.

          Who the fuck decides who belongs to what, genius? The colonizers? You?

            So… you want to argue the existence of distinct societies and cultures, now? I’d say come back when you have anything of substance to add, but if you were capable you would have already, so I’m just going to block you instead.
