@Pervertor i'm not talking about nazis of ages ago, i'm talking about current day. like, say, sargon using "free speech" as a guise to "joke" about raping someone and comparing utter distaste for them to 1984. "free speech" for such ppl is mainly a dogwhistle for letting hate speech flourish without any consequence whatsoever

@kat @Pervertor@mastodon.social Hate speech is a made up ideological construct and a joke isn't making hate flourish even if you don't like it.
I always start thinking about how utterly broken the education system must be when people compare people like Sargon to Nazis.
The actual Nazis hate Sargon btw.

@matrix @Pervertor nazis hate sargon because he's a buffoon and being anywhere near him is political suicide as evidenced by him running ukip.
by the way, ukip's recent political slogan "Service guarantees citizenship" is taken out of Starship Troopers, the movie which outright satirizes Nazi propaganda.

Nazis hate him because he wants completely different things then them.
UKIP was long dead before Sargon came along.
I haven't read the book yet, but nothing in the movie outside of the uniforms signifies nazism or fascism. The director is a complete buffoon and the movie is garbage in this regard.

@matrix @Pervertor
well, the director explicitly states that it's mocking fascist propaganda films. i got it all from this video (about the film at 7:18) and it's all about sargon slamming the corpse of ukip into the ground

And that's why I said that the director is a complete buffoon. He claims it's about fascism yet there is nothing in the film that shows that.
I dunno if rise in the polls counts as slamming the corpse, but sure.

@matrix @Pervertor you saying "no" won't change the way the things are. there is quite a bunch of evidence of what he's saying being true (even fucking nostalgia critic noted that it does reference fascism in many ways).

@kat The only thing that's reminiscent of fascism are the uniforms, nothing else.
Have you watched the movie?
