Huh? The rich people are creating the discomfort? The meek definitely aren’t inheriting the world?
sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 11 months ago
No the uber rich creat discomfort, the rich instead move than rectify it with their weight.
It’s why theyre able to run, and the meek must inherit their suffering. Too afraid to live and face the adversity.
The meek have no choice but to inherit your suffering you abandoned and rise. Why do you think europe is capable of being ran to? The peopl stayed and worked it.
Only the rich think you can run from tyranny, and only the meek know what it means to submit without wanting. Bloodshed will be regardless, but good men fear to lose their right and bad men hope to gain righteousness.
Do something more than coward is my mentality.

Until we undo capitalism, we are going to have these 80 year cycles
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean, the cycle started with the implementation of capitalism. Italy was functionally feudalistic (particularly in the southern territories) until the mid-19th century, with state power relegated to a hodgepodge of principalities. It’s only really been a unified country since 1870 and lagged on industrialization until the Cold War Era, when the US Marshall Plan made it an industrial and shipping beachhead for NATO-bloc manufacturing and trade (as well as a military base to strike out at North Africa and the Middle East).
The waves of Italian immigrants weren’t fleeing capitalism. They were fleeing the two World Wars and the industrial collapse of Europe. Americans, by contrast, won’t experience the same immediate socio-economic pressures to leave. So I suspect a lot of the reverse-migration we’ll see to Italy will be coming from an American middle class seeking to retire into a post-industrial retirement playground rather than an Italian underclass seeking gainful employment and safety from chronic civil wars and invasions.

What would be the alternative? Socialism and thus the standstill of further development? It would have to be extremely state-regulated capitalism. But above all taxes! So on the rich. Democracies would have to be able to protect their own form of government… but they didn’t think about it when they were founded because everyone was happy about the positive outcome. So that our democracies are attacked from within. Above all, America needed to regulate tech companies more. Tax havens should be prevented, etc. Capitalism itself promotes further development. It just needs to be protected from abuse. Private individuals should never have too much money and therefore automatically have power.

Uruguay has a pretty easy system you can make a request of residence and it seems that usually go through. Americans do not need a visa to come but if you prepare the paperwork is easier…
PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Only issue is crime has gotten worse there over the years
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Immigration has increased too as well
Lightsong@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Tell me more about Uruguay. What’s irs like over there, standard of living etc.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Best option on Latin America on pretty much any standard. Progressive laws, good weather - main negative thing I can think of is that rent can be quite expensive. I’ve considered moving there in the past but my Spanish is awful.
kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
A quick scan of Wikipedia shows there’s an actual left wing party currently in power that was formerly led by a guerilla fighter during the military occupation of the country in the 80s
As well they legalized abortions in 2012 and weed and same sex marriage in 2013
It’s got a 3 branch government similar to America
Economy seems stable, Internet seems good.
Guess it’s time to start learning Portuguese or Spanish!
Shardikprime@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The type of people who think like this, believe wholeheartedly that everything that doesn’t conform to their mindset is fascism/Nazism/[insert -ism you don’t like here]
You might not like it, but that’s how it is
Thinking like this will make you find fascism wherever you go. You’ll find it in Gaza, in Iran , Japan, Greenland. You will find it in your parents , your neighbor, your kids, street signs, China, in Bernie Sanders office, chatting with Obama, having dinner with Kamala, in opera, with monks, inside the ISS, even fucking Antarctica.
Make yourself a favor and maybe think for a while before leaving your country to poison others:
“if everywhere I go smells like fascism, is it them? Or maybe, just maybe, is it me”?

I agree that the left is just putting labels on everything but why are you against them emigrating? Are you actually afraid of people who will leave instead of sinking together?

Giving positions to loyalists ✅
Demonizing minorities ✅
An attempted coup ✅
Consolidating and exercising central executive power ✅
Attacking the media ✅
Creating his own media apparatus ✅
Isolating the country from the rest of the world ✅

Should be easy enough to identify theguardian.com/…/how-to-spot-a-fascist-the-umber…
blarth@thelemmy.club 11 months ago
Fascism is relatively simple to identify. When the leader of your country begins calling dissidents enemies of the state, saying journalists should experience violence, ignoring checks and balances, establishing prison camps…

Fascism is on the rise in Europe too so maybe go to Japan or something
randomname@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
yes, the country famous for being accepting of foreigners, that is also known for a high standard of living…

The far-right in Europe seems to have lost momentum a bit-- for now. The far-right parties in government in Sweden and Netherlands proved themselves incompetent and lost support. The support on German AfD stagnated. Meloni has shown to be more moderate than expected (well, not quite but that’s a long story). And Le Pen has been prosecuted, but I think this is not enough to actually kill the French far-right movement so long as the French government still practice neoliberal policies. But I think the major factor that made Europeans think twice now about gravitating towards fascism is after witnessing the shit show in America and Musk’s overt election interference in Europe. I should not be laughing, but what a laugh the three months of Trump administration has been!
VeryVito@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Be real careful. We thought we were turning the corner a few years ago, too. Seems so long ago.
SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Incompetence, it seems, is what is valued here in America to go up the ranks.
sgbrain7@lemm.ee 11 months ago
that’s actually a bit reassuring to know

As a Japanese, I think Japan has always been a fascists’ country. The flavor of nazism did change from Germany one to American one after WW2, though
nico198X@feddit.nl 11 months ago
still, EU countries have far superior electoral systems than the US to help mitigate the rise and influence of Fascism.
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
yeah we have this thing called democracy it’s pretty cool
Bloomcole@lemm.ee 11 months ago
They even have multiple parties and an Overton window wider than only right to extreme-right!

They’re extremely racist, which is a huge plus, just like the Swiss flag 🇨🇭

Like plenty countries, but it only becomes a problem when it’s also against whites.

Saying that could be seen as extremely racist of you.

I wish the first part were actually true, on the bureaucratic level. Sadly it is quite difficult to emigrate to the EU

How are they great?
Their economy is going to shit, they have a massive right-wing party, are complete warmongers and supporters of genocide.

I want to leave to ensure the safety of those closest to me.
But I also want to stay and fight like hell.
Unfortunately, even if the immediate fascism were beaten back, I have very little faith in anything but capitochristofascism’s resolve to continue to be absolutely shitty, and general American ignoarrogance to reign supreme, for the rest of my life.

“The belief that America stands for an idea beyond blood and soil makes its identity fragile, because an idea lives in people’s minds, where it is subject to lies, hatred, ignorance, despair, even extinction. But for this very reason, as long as enough Americans continue to believe in the idea with enough conviction to stick it out here and fight, the country that you and I once lived in will still exist for the generation after us.”
The belief that a country should exist purely for nostalgic purposes is the kind of bullshit that got us here in the first place. Countries started existing so that a monach could control resources and worker productivity. Now they are used as a default identity for people to try and connect on some level. If you don’t treat the identity as fragile, sure it can never ‘die’, but it can’t improve or change either.
