..and do you mean to say that YOU don't think like US?"
Well, you should because everything is connected and everything is energy. We are one! WE ARE ONE, GODDAMNIT, OR you DON'T THINK SO?!
[Below is a definition of fascism, courtesy of Wikipedia:
FASCISM:
Fascism is a political ideology and mass movement that seeks to place the nation, defined in exclusive biological, cultural, and/or historical terms, above all other sources of loyalty, and to create a mobilized national community.[1] Many different characteristics are attributed to fascism by different scholars, but the following elements are usually seen as its integral parts: nationalism, authoritarianism, militarism, corporatism, collectivism: Collectivism is a term used to describe any moral, political, or social outlook, that stresses human interdependence (ah, everything is connected, where does one end and another begin?...) and the importance of a collective, rather than the importance of separate individuals. Collectivists focus on community and society, and seek to give priority to group goals over individual goals.[1] The philosophical underpinnings of collectivism are often related to holism or organicism - the view that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Specifically, a society as a whole can be seen as having more meaning or value than the separate individuals that make up that society. [2] Collectivism is widely seen as the antipole of individualism., anti-liberalism, and anti-communism. There are numerous debates between scholars regarding the nature of fascism, and the kinds of political movements and governments that may be called fascist. For further elaboration, please see definitions of fascism and fascism and ideology.
The term fascism was first used by Benito Mussolini, and it comes from the Italian word fascio, which means "union" or "league", and from the Latin word fasces (fascis, in singular), which means rods bundled around an axe. The fasces was an ancient Roman symbol of the authority of magistrates, and the symbolism of the fasces suggested strength through unity: a single rod is easily broken, while the bundle is very difficult to break.
Since the end of World War II, there has been considerable stigma associated with fascism, and few political groups in the past 60 years have openly identified themselves as fascist. Unlike other ideologies, fascism never generated a large body of political theory, and, most importantly, there have been no significant political texts written from a fascist point of view since 1945. Thus, nearly all works on the topic of fascist ideology have been written by non-fascist and anti-fascist authors, and it is often difficult to determine the fascist position on many important issues. The word "fascist" is often used pejoratively, a label used by people of all political views to draw criticism upon an opposing viewpoint. This has spilled over into debates concerning the ideological nature of fascism, with adherents of some ideologies trying to draw parallels between fascism and their own ideological opponents.
Fascism displays totaliarinism, where a goverment that employs fascism tries to control every aspect of life, and often through the usage of propaganda.
PROPAGANDA:Propaganda is a type of message aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of people. Instead of impartially providing information, propaganda is often deliberately misleading, using logical fallacies (DZ Read my "Logical Fallacies" series), which, while sometimes convincing, are not necessarily valid. Propaganda techniques include: patriotic flag-waving, glittering generalities, intentional vagueness, oversimplification of complex issues, rationalization: in psychology is the process of constructing a logical justification for a decision that was originally arrived at through a different mental process. Rationalization in hypnosis is the rational justification for obeying a suppressed post-hypnotic command. Rationalization in politics is justification of power by means of rationality. (DZ. When you tell people to accept the heels, the skirts, the plucking out of the hair, the inferior position of "Kinder, Kirche, Kueche', when you refuse to listen to someone explaining why she will not accept you commanding her, as if you are her slave owner, when you refuse to represent yourself and give up your Constitutional right and duty to speak and oppose totaliarinism and removal of your rights and frontal lobes and then explain it away to your friends and yourself as "its not worh it", "I wanted to be treated this way," "I don't really mind" you engage in rationalization) , introducing unrelated red herring issues, using appealing, simple slogans, stereotyping, testimonials from authority figures or celebrities (DZ What does Donald Trump think on the issue?..), unstated assumptions ( DZ Women are inferior to men, therefore, "get the ho" and "shut up, bitch"), and encouraging readers or viewers to "jump on the bandwagon" of a particular point of view.
Propaganda was often used to appeal influence opinion and beliefs on religious issues, particularly during the split between the Catholic Church and the Reformers. Propaganda has become more common in political contexts (DZ Cheick out President's W. Bush's ears. Wow!), in particular to refer to certain efforts sponsored by governments, political groups, but also often covert interests. In the early 20th century the term propaganda was also used by the founders of the nascent public relations industry to describe their activities. This usage died out around the time of World War II, as the industry started to avoid the word, given the pejorative connotation it had acquired.
Literally translated from the Latin gerundive as "things which must be disseminated," in some cultures the term is neutral or even positive, while in others the term has acquired a strong negative connotation. The connotations of the term "propaganda" can also vary over time. For example, in Portuguese and some Spanish language speaking countries, particularly in the Southern Cone, the word "propaganda" usually means the most common manipulation of information — "advertising".
In English, "propaganda" was originally a neutral term used to describe the dissemination of information in favor of any given cause. During the 20th century, however, the term acquired a thoroughly negative meaning in western countries, of equalling the intentional dissemination of false, but perhaps "compelling", claims supporting or justifying nefarious political ideologies.
This redefinition arose because both the Soviet Union and Germany's government under Hitler admitted explicitly to using propaganda favoring, respectively, communism and fascism, in all forms of public expression. As these ideologies were antipathetic to English-language and other western societies, the negative feelings toward them came to be projected into the word "propaganda" itself. Nowadays nobody admits doing propaganda but, on the other side, everybody accuses the opponent of using propaganda, whenever there is an opponent in question.
At the left, right, or mainstream, propaganda knows no borders; as is detailed by Roderick Hindery. Hindery further argues that debates about most social issues can be productively revisited in the context of asking "what is or is not propaganda?" Not to be overlooked is the link between propaganda, indoctrination, and terrorism/counterterrorism. Mere threats to destroy are often as socially disruptive as physical devastation itself.
