In episode 379 of The Strenuous Life Podcast I talk with podcaster, martial artist, and history professor Daniele Bolelli about the characteristics of fascism. This is a loaded topic for both of us, because both of our families lived in fascist states during World War 2 (mine in Germany, his in Italy).&nbsp; Which is why I almost went with an alternate title, namely A German and an Italian Walk Into a Bar... The terms 'fascism' sure gets thrown around a lot these days. But words have meaning, and so you can't just use it as an insult to describe anything you don't like. S0 what is it? As Daniele explains, there isn't a single definition of fascism; instead it's a checklist and the more items an ideology checks off then the closer they are to fascism.&nbsp; Here are some of the major items for Daniele...  Nostalgia for a mythic past Reliance on an authority figure who will fix everything Nationalism A cult of masculinity and cracking down on anyone who doesn't embody traditional values A hawkish desire for war against internal and external enemies Strong alliances with traditional power structures like industry and religion Anti-intellectualism and a distrust of expertise Conservative values, Subordination of women, anti-abortion, anti-birth control Anti-democratic values Emphasis on law and order  Other things we discuss are Giorgia Meloni (the Prime Minister of Italy), economic situations before the rise of fascism, horseshoe theory and the eventual convergence of extreme left and extreme right, and the danger of fascism in the world right now.

His  (highly recommended) His  if you want more content and support good work He's on Instagram   More Definitions of Fascism Fascism is a tricky word, and many different people have taken stabs at defining it.&nbsp; Here are a few of my favorites... I found  a very useful starting point. , originally published in the New York Review, included a 14 point list of the features of fascism. He identified that, for fascists, the enemy must simultaneously be very weak and very strong, which I found fascinating because I see it so often in the discourse these days. British political scientist Roger Griffin has defined the fascistic core as an  (or palingenetic ultranationalism).&nbsp;&nbsp; As is so often the case, the Wikipedia article on the  is a useful starting point if you want to go deeper into this topic.

"Can you go post like an anime villain somewhere else?"

"what"

Remix of ItzDylxn - I Hate Faggots

Description
----------------
It was originally a Disstrack at Lio Convoy and Commentary community in self defense from him making a snarky comment about me posting my Anime Villian so call dialogue over trying my best to predict my win they are annoying the fuck at Spoctor when he has stated he want to leave but they keep asking him to apologize to the entire Commentary Community rather than just responding to Lin Lin.

And for what.

The fucking TheNamesJunkie and Creepshow Art Shannon crap that's for fucking sure.

You not even fucking realising that Suris, The Empromenter and Keyblade Master and Fuckers like Lorenzo (RANK7Y2GO) (LorenzoNotFatCat) and Tute1996 and lightingdood and Taydo and everything involved from me is also at fault.

2012 - 2022

Even though Tute1996, lightingdood, Taydo and TheIranSonic have atleast moved on and fucked off, doesn't change the fact i'm still mocking them.

Note this Commentary Community.

I am making a video game that is inspired by Tails Gets Trolled, Freedom Planet, Project X Zone and alot of other games and shows the mock reality and have it's comedy.

I'll make sure my animated fight scenes and animated music videos of these become a reminder never to fuck with me agian.

But then again. it doesn't, so I am now a Commentary Pacifist.

All Hail Leafy Calvin and Dumpy army. And somewhat Bowblax


The song's video was removed on YouTube obviously for
"Hate Speech".

Also, Just a Robot did respond to it.
he stated this before it was taken down
"What?"

Meaning my hate caught them.

As the second Youtube strike is secretly Wheen or someone else or mostly Susan Wojaski.

I no longer cannot say Faggot and Nigger due to them wanting me to stop being hatefull to them.

Update as of January 14 2023

Youtube has gotten worse and worse as a platform..

Ever since I discovered Cyraxx, researched every thing wrong with him and also hearing all the bullshit content that is Jalyn/Jadyn and Acheeto drama

and that of such as the farewell to Cartoon and Art Commentary community by Just a Robot..

I decided to move on..
As of my hatred on Lio Convoy..

I regret I made this song,  he called me out on my bullshit..
And admit defeat.

Now however, the fact he even ask me to contact him is now badly aged..

I truly think the rumors of what KlonoaFan2012 said to him is lies.

And I don't think I'm contacting Lio Convoy about hunting down Cyraxx because I tried to doxx him by asking trolls to doxx him, And yes, It failed and I did get backlash last year at the time.

Even if he did move on.
Why would he give a dam about me filing a report of sharing Cyraxx Kiwi Farms article and his history..

But, if you trolls want to contact Marty and William to contact Lio Convoy to collab with Chris Hansen to speak to Cyraxx and also murder him front on.

Go head and do it or find some legal way to do it..

As of this Disstrack, this dead news to me now and I have moved on and became a different person. I feel like making Disstracks kinda ruin my mental health due to being too lazy with the vocal composing.

To say that Greg Souders is a huge believer in drilling and gamification is actually an understatement; he believes that BJJ training methods have not kept up with the science of learning, and runs  in Rockville, Maryland&nbsp;without teaching any techniques. And black belt medalist students at the Pan Ams and the World Championships suggest that he's onto something!&nbsp; I really enjoyed this conversation and did my best to ask the questions you'll be hearing in your own head as you listen to this!&nbsp; As always, if you enjoyed this episode I would REALLY appreciated a review and a rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listened to it! Cheers, Stephan Kesting
