For further reading on the conservative upsurge in transphobia after the legalization of gay marriage, try the essay "My Vagina is Haunted" in the book Neoreaction a Basilisk by Elizabeth Sandifer.
The observation that whiteness is a social construct invented to justify white supremacy can be further researched in the works of Ibram X. Kendi; his major text on race is Stamped from the Beginning. (I confess, I know Kendi's arguments from podcasts and various other people citing him; Stamped from the Beginning is on my reading list but I haven't gotten to it yet. He's by no means the only person pointing out how whiteness works, but he's famous for being the best.)
I went to high school in kentucky. One of my friends were from a mixed family. His mom was white and his dad was black. On his tests that asked for race he would always bubble both white and african american. It would ALWAYS end up as an argument with the teacher.... and he would never budge. One of the reasons I respected him so much.
Why does a test ask for your skin colour?!
@mrpostman222 KATs testing every year asked what your race was. At least when I went to high school it did...
@@nuuhishere6752 if skin color is all there is to race then why even call it a race? Because what cocludes from what you say is that skin color is recessive in white ppl, not that their genes in general are.
@@nuuhishere6752 Doesn't it make the statistics more accurate if the people compiling them know how many mixed-race people are taking the exam, and have a more detailed understanding of their background than simply "mixed race", which is a rather broad term? (And genes for high melanin are _incompletely_ dominant. This means that the offspring will demonstrate a phenotype that is somewhere between the phenotypes of the homozygous parents. Not to be confused with co-dominance, which is when the phenotype is both--eg. AB blood-type.)
@@Doorisessa It would've made the statistics more accurate but there are more mixed race combinations than there are races in the first place. It would've been very inefficient to make separate groups for every combination of which there aren't many compared to the others. And black genes (speaking only about your body) are very much prominent. You can't deny that. Maybe intellectually they are more prone to their white parent (which I still don't really see)
This reminds me of a talk I once went to by a former white supremacist..... He said that once, when he was still in deep, the group was joking around and someone said, 'Hey, what if we win? What if we get rid of all of them and make the ethno-state?' and someone quipped back 'Then we start on everyone with brown eyes'. And they laughed, and he laughed too, but something clicked on his head and he realized it was true, they *would* do that. And that was what put him on the path of climbing back out again.
Good for him and that is terrifying. Makes me wonder what their ultimate goal is - eventually you would eliminate everyone but yourself. Which makes me think white supremacy comes from a warped version of the evolutionarily beneficial instinct that one is only safe with one's kind. We as humans no longer need to eliminate everyone (or anyone) not like us to survive, but surface that impulse and corrupt it and there are your fascists. Which makes it even more disgusting somehow. To be so unaware of your own fear that you would do away with everyone else and not know why...

In Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, there's an interesting conversation between some NPCs on the streets of Roswell, New Mexico (For context, this is an alternate world where the Nazis won WW2 and have conquered America). A Nazi approaches two Klansmen and starts talking to them about their German lessons. After hearing the Klansmen butcher his language, the Nazi cautiously advises them to work harder at learning the language, because soon, "The wheat will be separated from the chaff". The devs knew exactly what they were talking about with that game.
all alt-right people really think they'll be the ones on top up until the other fascists kill them too once they stop having minorities to oppress and kill, they'll make up new ones out of their own group and start opressing and killing again

MINOR CORRECTIONS: 1) Hitler, though he ran for election, his position as Chancellor was appointed to him to appease the Nazi Party. The larger argument that he took power through through political means rather than through revolution holds, but many folks have pointed out that "Hitler was elected" is Nazi revision of history. I apologize for the mistake. 2) I have also been informed that historians draw a distinction between "death camp" and "concentration camp," so "the first death camp was created to throw communists in" is also inaccurate; Dachau was a concentration camp where many died, but is not considered a death camp because it was not part of the Final Solution. Again, the larger argument stands. 3) The American Revolution was a revolt from the colonies, but the people revolting were not, in any sense, "colonized." The Americans were the colonizers. This was a case of picking the wrong word when writing quickly and accidentally sounding like a ding dong. 4) OK, the claim that Mussolini took power in a coup is ALSO fascist propaganda, because the "coup" in question was a march that was handily outnumbered by governmental authorities, but the Italian king decided to just GIVE Mussolini the position of Prime Minister rather than have a violent conflict, even if Mussolini was all but guaranteed to lose the fight. This was later spun as a "successful coup." I will add to this thread if there are further corrections.
This an amazing video. You have a great job. Well played.
Innuendo Studios I get hot and bothered when cute boys issue corrections to antifash videos. It’s no fair I guess I gotta just go support you on patreon 🤤
Also, it might help to know some of what Hitler really said, to shut down right-wing misinformation. a few examples: "we stand for the maintenance of private property....we shall protect free enterprise as the most expedient, or rather the sole possible economic order" Adolf Hitler, Heiden "the Fuhrer" pg 105 "democracy will in practice lead to the destruction of a peoples true values ....when they surrender themselves to the unlimited democratic rule of the masses, the capitalists slowly lose their former position; for the outstanding achievements of individuals are now rendered practically ineffective through the oppression of mere numbers" - Adolf Hitler speech to the industry club Jan 27, 1932 "There are only two possibilities in Germany; do not imagine that the people will forever go with the middle party, the party of compromises; one day it will turn to those who have most consistently foretold the coming ruin and have sought to disassociate themselves from it. And that party is either the Left: and then God help us! For it will lead us to complete destruction - to Bolshevism. Or else it is a party of the Right which at the last, when the people is in utter despair, when it has lost all its spirit and has no longer any faith in anything, is determined for its part ruthlessly to seize the reins of power - that is the beginning of resistance of which I spoke a few minutes ago. Here, too, there can be no compromise - there are only two possibilities: either victory of the Aryan, or annihilation of the Aryan and the victory of the Jew." -Adolf Hitler, April 12, 1922 "We chose the red color of our posters after careful and thorough reflection, in order to provoke the left, to drive them to indignation and lead them to attend out meetings if only to break them up, in order to have some chance to speak to the people." - Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf ch.7 "The German state is gravely attacked by marxism" -Adolf Hitler, mein kampf pg 535 "A grave economic symptom of decay was the slow disappearance of the right of private property, and the gradual transference of the entire economy to the ownership of stock companies." -Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Ch. 10 "I absolutely insist on protecting private property… we must encourage private initiative." -Adolf Hitler
15:18 "bigotry is intersectional" Yes, Yes, Yes!!! That reminds me of something Martin Luther King jr once said: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly”
Innuendo Studios. Again, great video. I don't know if you've read this before, but I have an op-ed in mind that mirrors a lot of your points: hierarchy, divine right of wealth, us vs them, etc, etc. Google this title: "Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, and the Rule of Pampered Princelings".

"Whiteness is defined by what it's not." What a profoundly succinct and elegant description of something so incredibly complex.
you are not a color
Whiteness is a leftist invention, so why did you guys invent it.
woah its soo apophatic
the word you're looking for is "platitude".
This is a lot of what Slavoj Žižek says about ideology. His famous joke "I'll have a coffee without cream. -We are out of cream, so I can bring you a coffee without milk." does a wonderful job at illustrating this. Materially, it's the same black coffee, but in ideological terms, those are 2 different cups of coffee. Ideology very often functions on this level of what something isn't, and what something isn't is often subtly implied, rather than overtly stated.
As a minor point, most monarchies were justified not on 'The king is groomed from birth' (until monarchies' legitimacy starting falling apart with revolutions) but on 'The King is granted his rule by the Grace of God Almighty'.
This. "The king being groomed for it" is more of a modern justification for monarchy, though it leaves apart the question of who grooms the king and for which purpose...
@@Kyrielsh1 Easy question. That king was groomed by the previous king. That's literally how monarchy works. Prior to the printing press hereditary governing made sense for the same reason blacksmithing and other jobs were hereditary. The technology to give everyone a general education and then figure out which people have the most aptitude for some job didn't exist yet. Learning enough to even have a choice of more than one career would have been prohibitively expensive. Hence passing on skills from father to son was the only cost effective method to preserve professional competence in society.
Indeed. The silly creature that made the video knows nothing of history.
@@krushervimose4599 in the video, he was talking about the modern justification for monarchies, not the medieval. Maybe it is you who knows nothing about history

Every time I watch this, I hit the part about white fascists narrowing the definition of whiteness in the absence of nonwhite people and I am viscerally reminded of my first day at a new elementary school. My new school, unlike my previous one, was almost entirely white--the first thing I said when I saw the playground was, "Look at all the blondes!" because I'd never seen so many in one place. On my first day there, as a seven-year-old, I walked up to another little girl, introduced myself, and suggested we be friends. She told me she wasn't allowed. Why not? I asked. "You're dark," she said. I was baffled. I had been one of the palest-skinned students at my previous school, and wore bright colors; "dark" was a strange word to hear applied to myself. "Your hair," she said, and explained that her mother had told her she was only allowed to be friends with blondes. My hair, about the color of dark chocolate, was unacceptable. The school was so white that the students (and their parents) had decided brunettes weren't white enough. You're dead on, Mr. Danskin. They will not call it a day.
Hate is a terrible foundation for society to be built on.
@Julius Seizure Southern California. If you've seen news stories about neo-Nazis in places like Huntington Beach...well, it wasn't there exactly, but it was within a 30-minute drive of there. And while the region as a whole was/is fairly diverse (large Latino, East and Southeast Asian, and MENA communities in this part of the county), there's a reason that one of the forerunner cases for Brown v. Board of Education was Mendez v. Westminister, about the segregation of "Mexican" children in local schools. A lot of white people here are STILL not happy that their neighbors aren't necessarily the color of rancid milk. And I STILL get remarks about my hair from time to time--mostly asking whether I'm Jewish.
Lol yeah, I understand that perfectly. I have dark almost black hair and brown eyes, and growing up in a small town in North Eastern Russia, where most people had lighter hair and eyes than me, there were some people who didn't believe I was ethnic Russian hahaha

@@nathanseper8738 On some genetic level, tribalism probably helped in our species being able to compete with other species and prehistoric rival societies, giving our ancestors a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, it only hampers our progress today. Like our wisdom teeth, a vestigial remnant of our evolution that we will have to move past or remove (via education) if we want to survive as a better species now.
the thing about whiteness being "diluted" through races mixing is actually only used when it serves the "us." for example, when the settlers wanted land in north america, they invented the blood quantum-- meaning that you're only native american if you're a certain percentage of native genetically. this way, as native people and white people had children together (or often, white people raped native women) and their children were deemed white, native people began to "disappear" from a legal standpoint. and if there are no more "real" native people on the land, it's free for the taking. real fucked up and completely contradictory to the one-drop rule, but that doesn't matter because it gets the "us" what they want (blood quantum = more land, one drop rule = more slaves).
Was the H.R. 6598 bill able to pass to end this?
Unless of course, you want to wear a headdress or get a position at Harvard or sell a book about wolf-magic and crystals, in which case claiming 1/646th indigenous ancestry makes you Black Elk and Tecumseh combined.

It's also a pretty interesting statement retrospectively, after the talk Ian did about the similarities between the alt-right and abusive relationships.
My mom's Mexican, my dad's an American White. I've been bullied for being Mexican, my brother's been bullied for being White. Every time we have to fill out anything asking our race we're both frustrated. I'm 100% White and 100% Hispanic. I'm not going to concede on either of those because I'm 100% mixed and 100% done with anyone who doesn't realize that race is a made up concept and that we're all just a bunch of weird creatures on a weird planet in an infuriatingly incomprehensible universe.
the fact that americans have to write down their race on forms is genuinely fucked up
@Tumbolisu When I moved to Europe from America it was quite refreshing not having to point out my race on any government forms or documents.

It's strange to think three years ago accusing someone of being a fascist was ridiculous, an immediate way to get laughed out of the room and not taken seriously, something that got people branded as stupid. Three years was all it took for it to become a real and dire threat. That's how quickly it grows. You cannot afford to leave it unattended.
It's always been a threat, at least in the US. We had a nazi supporting party before and during I believe WW2. The veneer of moral high ground and respectability has always been paper thin.
@@SinHurr these days most things people fear and label as fascism isn't actually fascism. Take the protest that happened at the capital.

The whole reason he made this video was because said thing was no longer a laughable matter.
we've had a home grown fascist problem since world war ii, but there was a resurgence in the 90s and again starting around 2012. I don't know who yall grew up around but no one around me ever called anything fascist as a joke or exaggeration, and I'm in a privileged majority white area. Maybe it's because I live so close to Washington DC and a lot of people here work for the federal government, but the people here understand that fascism is not a joke even if they don't take it as seriously as they should as a threat.

That piece about how whiteness is treated fundamentally different in the sense that 1/2 White + 1/2 Black = Black was very interesting. I haven't thought about that before!
Well I'm most of the world no-one would call Obama black, in most of Africa African Americans who are wayy less than 50% white are considered whites so it just depends on who you're comparing with
Az4212 knowledge thirsty But I still think this clarifies how the racists who are worried about the “white race” becoming extinct thinks and why it is so stupid and nonsensical. Since they only care for “purebred whites”, mixing races means reducing the number of whites in future generations.
@@asdfghyter yeah that's stupid in fact as a European who sees almost perfect blacks and 50% mixes i think that if those stupid racist were a little bit rational they'd be in favor of mixing because although dark skin color is more dominant white facial features are dominant (most African Americans look rather European without color with only 20%) so they could spread their whiteness everywhere But their logic doesn't go that far
@deal with it yeah I'm familiar with hybrid vigor, but that only applies when two genetically similar but different strains of something are crossbred, like the difference between cross breeding a norwegian forest cat and a manx and the difference between cross breeding a lion and a tiger, results vary heavily depending on genetic adjacency, and in most cases of african and european hybridization the net result is a solid negative as cited in the previously posted article, across a myriad of sources, including several peer reviewed studies on the subject. At the end of the day, it's not a good idea.
@@lol_no_man Sounds like a trustworthy source. Even if it were accurate, it wouldn't be relevant to this discussion.
I had always wondered why "mixed race" = "black", when it would never be white. This was illuminating. Disturbing, for sure, but definitely worth learning about.
It would be in majority black countries
Racial purity is a standard. Anything less than that cannot be categorized as pure.
It's really easy to talk about the white purity standard, but as a mixed Asian person I also wanna add another idea which is that in a highly racialized society, the way that mixed people resist categorization alienates them. Being honest with ourselves, poc and white people tend to self segregate for a lot of complex reasons. But mixed people don't usually self segregate bc there aren't enough of us in any one place to allow that sort of thing- friend groups, clubs, etc don't tend to be all mixed people in the way that some tend to be almost all one race. Rather, we integrate into both communities and are at the same time the most obvious outsider to that community. Because our society revolves around race so much, it becomes something that is apparent at most times. I'm not black, but my mixed black friends tell me this works the same way- I'm Asian in white spaces and White in Asian spaces, because it is a way in which I can never fully fit into the racial lines of American society.

I'm very glad you mentioned the changing/narrowing definition of whiteness. I think a lot about how Irish Catholics were not considered white until it became politically convenient for them to be so, or how people from the Mediterranean are currently included under the umbrella of whiteness.
Something tells me since its a predominantly southern ideology, the Irish will go after the French Americans first (no one likes Louisiana and could be tagged a "anti-corruption campaign"), the Slavs, British or Dutch, they finally, the Rest of the Germanic Peoples .
Or how Latinos in the US are still generally considered nonwhite and are looked at as being a fairly monolithic group by White culture, regardless of their diversity and in spite of many being of largely, or entirely, European heritage.
@@e.l.wagner9766 That one always makes me snicker a bit. If you ever to have some fun with a white nationalist who extols the exceptionalism of "European heritage" say to them "So that includes Spain and Portugal too right?"

steampunker7 exactly, I’m Portuguese but I got blonde hair and blue eyes, yet I’m still considered “Hispanic white” so I don’t count towards that 60% of non Hispanic whites that Nazis are obsessed with
despite this anticatholic sentiment is still rampant in america.
The funny thing is that if you went back just 200 years ago and told a person from France, Prussia, England, and Serbia that they should all be comrades in arms because their “white culture” was basically identical... they would have looked at you like you just told them you were a Martian -.-
Eh, the idea of "White Western superiority" was in full swing by the 1800s. That being said, they certainly wouldn't see themselves as a unified white nation, contrary to the dreams of American white nationalists.
SlyBiffrons - yeah that’s what I meant. They viewed eachtother as vein superior to blacks or others. But would have called you stupid if you suggested they were all the same like white supremecists in the US do today
LEEboneisDaMan the French and the British would actually laugh to your face if you told them they’d Co-Rule, the imperial rivalry didn’t go away till WWII. And oh my god, the English and the Irish? Old school Englishmen would scoff if you suggested the Irish were on their tier.
It was not in full swing in the 1800s because European countries were still fighting each other in the 1800s. The nation-state of Germany didn't exist until the late 1800s
Hell you can barely get Eastern and Western Europe to get along today, let alone 200 years ago
Y'know, sometimes I go into episodes of wondering "what if the Fascists are right?" and I begin to doubt everything I believe in, But then I think of all the people I care about, Everyone I love, Everyone Who supports me, Almost all of them Fascists would hate for who they are. My Brother's dating a Latina, My Mom isn't a Housewife, Many of my friends are LGBT, Many of my friends are also Furries, Many of my friends are Neurodivergent (like me), A lot of my teachers have a career helping Special Needs people, My Cousin is Gay, So are two of my aunts, My Godbrother is Hispanic, My dad cooks, all that jazz. I think about that and then I realize, these people really are dangerous, they want to hurt not just my friends and family but everyone they don't see as "pure" or "strong" or "Normal". And that just gives me something worth fighting for. I find it ironic in a way, one of my main motives for fighting fascism is protecting my own, and that's what so many of them claim to be doing, But if you're fascist let me ask you this. What if these attributes applied to someone in your family, what if your Brother and/or sister came out as Gay or was Dating someone of another race? What if your girlfriend didn't want to be a housewfe? What if your parents helped people with special needs or anyone you deem as "weak"? What if your best friend told you they were trans? What if all of that was true? would you really give up on everyone you love and loves you back just because they didn't fulfill your needed requirements? would you really prefer the company of people who only see you as a race and who would throw on the ash heap as soon as you displayed any features like the ones I mentioned over those who see you as a person and Love you unconditionally?
this is honestly an amazing comment and you nailed it on the head
I think there's truth on both sides of the far right and far left, the far right ethos taps into what may be called the visceral or primal or romantic side of the human psyche. The left taps more into the analytical rational side of the mind, I think both sides are nessesary even if the left has the more important or "larger half" I believe this culture war isn't going anywhere good unless both sides learn to be charitable and learn to see good in those we disagree with, I recommend Jordan Peterson's biblical series and CS Lewis's work.

“We belong at the top because that’s the way lobsters live”
So many people fail to understand the lobster thing or try to use it to undermine Peterson. Its not about living like lobters its an explanation of why we tend to have certain social tendencies, but not an excuse to keep up with thinks as they are. Lame
@@Nolovivenir739 I can see why you failed to understand his meaning. Peterson pulls onto the stage the inevitable dominance hierarchy of the lobster as bassed in serotonin reward processes from our impossibly ancient evolutionary past. Then entreats his audience to 'let the calming influence of serotonin wash over them'. He, of course, refrains from explicitly drawing the line between the two, expecting his followers to write whatever self-serving fan-fiction they desire; and to forever allow himself room to pivot should his intended conclusions become inconvenient.
The lobster thing is attempt to assert that hierarchies are "natural," and therefore...??? Nothing, it's called a naturalistic fallacy.

Don't catch me slippin' now
@@justcallmeSheriffWhile calling attention to explicitly fascist movements in the United States is not without merit, I do think this obfuscates the nature of the country itself as being founded upon this palingenetic nationalism. The United States, whether or not the ruling government at any given time is explicitly “fascist” in the narrow or self-proclaimed sense, meets the criteria of putting the wellbeing of the nation at the forefront, defining a narrow section of the population as an ingroup to rule it, and most crucially, ascribes the right to rule through some vaguely defined divine destiny (one might even call it “manifest”). It’s no coincidence that the genocidal policy of systematically exterminating vast swaths of the American continent of its original inhabitants to make way for settlers belonging to the ingroup served as the explicit inspiration for the Nazi Generalplan Ost and policy of Lebensraum, with Hitler himself comparing Eastern Europe to Western North America and soldiers of the USSR to American Indians in propaganda. The rise of explicitly fascist groups in the already fascist United States is merely an example of the inevitable infighting described in the video.
not just America.
I always compared the embracing of fascism to getting into abusive relationships, and when you said "Come back baby; it'll be different this time," my brain went "yes, exactly!!"

On top of that. Lil B has an entire album about supporting the LGBT community and has gone on record as to saying "This system of capitalism is disturbing... who benefits from it?

@@g-wen6875 that's news to me, idk
I remember as a kid in Florida, I heard people who went to my church ponder if Black people were descendants of Cain (of Cane and Abel) because the Bible said Cain murdering Abel led to God cursing Cain's descendants with a visible mark (causing Cain to protest that this punishment was too severe because he would be killed on sight), and that would explain why Black people were treated so bad. Plus something about Black people being 'more violent' making sense if they descended from the first murderer. As a child I found this observation interesting, and didn't recognize the repulsiveness in justifying the status quo brought on by our and our ancestors own behavior by twisting 'gospel' to explain why this was the natural way. (For those unfamiliar with Bible stories, the implication here is that God cursed the first murderer by turning his skin black) Christianity is not a loving faith.
Just another reason why religion is bullshit.
This just in, people that believe in crazy cult stories are awful people and more at 10

The idea of fascism being a system of made up rules that change depending on what is deemed necessary is even further solidified by the original definition of fascism, which was written by Mussolini himself, in which he did not define what fascism was and what it represented, but merely what it was not. Absolutely loved this video, there were so many points that, even as someone who has studied fascist and authoritarian regimes for years, made me reconsider the views and opinions that I've heard used around me. I knew they were. off in some way, but I can now recognize them as being based upon and rooted in white supremacist ideology.
The writing of Mussolini on the subject is quite fascinating in how it deals (not) with logic overall, like the fact that the people are "free" of their opinion... As long as it is compatible with the one of the fascist party o_O There ARE a few things which are defined as consubstantial to fascism though, like the use of strength, which is a qulity by itself since it "forges" the people and allows them to "fulfill their destiny" somehow... So the worship of strength and violence IS, I would say, an intrinsic characteristic of fascism...

Socialism, social democracy, anarchism, all of these are treated as inferior, with fascism being seen as the next stage of society.

The difference is that the far right is opposed to the status quo in the opposite direction.

The whole thing about the fascists eventually turning on each other makes me think of the Daleks from Dr.Who (who the creators said were explicitly based on the Nazis). Basically, they hate and want to kill everyone who isn't a Dalek. It's been implied that if they ever actually succeded in killing all non-Daleks, they would have nothing left to live for and would either start killing each other or commit mass suicide.
Curiously enough they have killed each other from time to time. A few story lines have featured Dalek civil wars where variations or splinter factions fought over which was the "Truest Dalek." The Who writers had a very good handle on exactly where Nazi, and by extension Fascist, ideologies eventually lead.
And then there was an episode where a Dalek became part human, and saw the truth about Daleks. Wait, it wasn't just a Dalek. It was Dalek Sec, leader of the Cult of Skaro and smartest of the four remaining Daleks after the Time War. Long story. Dalek Sec suggested that the Daleks evolve with other races instead of destroy them, since their xenophobia was what caused their near-extinction. You know how the other Daleks reacted? Exterminate.

While it may end in failure, it frequently does not end before thousands of people die. That comfort is cold.
I don't think its that simple this time. In an age where we can wipe out modern human civilization in a matter of hours we cannot afford a repeat of the 20th century. This won't just be a case of the fascist losing. Everyone will lose.
It may be comforting to believe that fascism always ends in failure. But those past victories were payed for in sweat and blood by people who gave up the comfort and security of non-intervention to actively bring these dark forces down. Only believing in something never changed anything.

Women who were suspected of having romantic liaisons with Germans were publicly humiliated by having their heads shaved. Those who had engaged in the black market were also stigmatised as "war profiteers" (profiteurs de guerre). However, the Provisional Government of the French Republic (GPRF, 1944-46) quickly reestablished order and brought collaborators before the courts. Many of the convicted were later granted amnesty under the Fourth Republic (1946-1954), while some prominent civil servants, such as Maurice Papon, escaped prosecution altogether and succeeded in holding important positions even under Charles de Gaulle and the Fifth Republic (1958 and afterward)."

@@_WhiteMage And yet the Irish were often depicted as lazy, backwards, inherently violent, uncivilized, of "low moral character" (i.e. drunkards) and fit for only the most menial of labor both by the British of the 1800s and by the US. There's a reason "Irish need not apply" was a post script on wanted ads and signs. That's why we have the term "Paddy Wagon" became a reference to police vehicles used to gather up bar patrons. Citizens or not they were viewed with the same disdain, derision, and as "illegal immigrants" (i.e insert your brown skinned person of choice here) are today. That most Irish immigrants to the US were also Catholic didn't help matters either. He's not "peddling a lie." He's referencing a very real, very destructive, and still on going depending on who you ask, period in history where "white" people were indeed exploited, discriminated against, and persecuted by other "white" people. However, as the video points out, because the definition of "white" is whatever it needs to be to suit those with an ultra-nationalist agenda, it gradually expanded to include Irish, Italians, Germans, and whoever it needed to bolster "white" numbers. We were "accepted into the club" not because we were white. But because we were "white." So, speaking as the descent of Irish immigrants who's French Canadian great grandmother caused a stir because he married a *gasp!* Irishman, shut the hell up. You're the one peddling a lie.

Indeed, there was significant conflict even amongst different groups of Europeans during the larger migration waves in America. It took a few generations along with a lot of conflict and suffering for everyone to assimilate more or less into a common new ethnicity. On the flip side this has never even come close to happening with any other minority ethnic group in this country. The differences are simply too large to overcome it seems to me.

There are literally dozens of minority groups that have successfully assimilated into this country. Almost all immigrants of any background assimilate. Assimilation isn't the problem. What's really at issue is the acceptance of a minority by the general US population, which is not contingent on immigrants working to assimilate, but on the present population not being racist/xenophobic. 3) The Nazis lost the war because they were idiots and racists, get over it.
I suppose it depends on how you define assimilation but what non white immigrant groups have ever even come close to fully assimilating into White American society? The closest we have really are east Asians and they still very much stick to themselves and maintain their own very different culture and identity. They just happen to get along pretty well with whites because there aren't many aspects of their culture that we find distasteful in fact it is quite similar to ours in many important ways. How do you "accept" a minority when it is encroaching on your on your territory both physically and socially. The more foreign people exist within your space the weaker our own culture and social institutions become. You act like nothing is affected by living among these people but that is clearly not the case. You just don't understand the concept and importance of community.

"Race is like gender and money. It's real, but only because we make it real." This is such a brilliant comparison to draw! I always find this point hard to articulate in a way that gets across, I feel like this one will do it quite well, but I guess I'll see.
Why is it that I can just look at a person and roughly guess where they trace their ancestry to? Race is not as specific as doing a genetic test to discover their particular haplogroup, but it's not a social construct in the same way that money is.

Oh, hey, just decided to watch this video again for no reason.
This may be one of the most eye-opening videos I have ever watched. Defining fascism is difficult and has only become more so because of how misused it is in modern political discourse. This video really portrayed how fascism works well and its comparison to how other hierarchal systems work was super engaging.
I'm not entirely sold yet, what is the fascist stance on the core issue of our time: ethics in gaming journalism?
Reporting on western AAA games only because American borders are so strict and because the dreaded "SJWs" make indie games with diverse casts...plus, fewer Nintendo exclusives, JRPGs , and erotic visual novels because fewer journalists would bother reporting on foreign games. I'm sure all the right-wingers with anime avatars wearing Trump hats would love that.
Ian actually made an excellent series about how Gamergate was about right-wing demagogues misinforming well-intentioned people who did genuinely care about gaming journalism to radicalize them.
@Bananal he was memeing
"I didn't know what true fascism is until #GamerGate happened"- taken from comments to Sargon's petition to suspend "social justice" courses at "universities" (presumably also private ones?).
I get the joke, yet I still feel the urge to advertise. Shaun has a great video about this called Fate of the Frog Men where he asserts that the "Gamer" identity was forged as a white, young, male identity, which feels socially maligned, this precious little world where big videogame studios only cater to young, white, male preferences (as at the time they did) and where a female indie game developer or a feminist videogame critic can be portrayed as an aggressive outside force, trying to destroy "us"

Hearing the description of Fascism you give line up perfectly with the party line coming out of the Kremlin is really impactful. I know that 'Putinist Russia is fascist' isn't a particularly new or difficult take, but it's fascinating and horrifying how things flew from under-the-covers casual fascism to filling every aspect of government policy
Don't forget: you're allowed to be white if your ancestors are "Native American", but not if they're Hispanic/Latinx/Black/Asian. I was TICKLED to find out that one of my super racist relatives has a grandmother that is NOT actually "Native Cherokee", as she told me all my life, but was Latinx (I don't know her nation of origin)
but if you can prove your ancestors are Native American and/or participate in native culture (as many white native people do) you CANNOT be native. You can ONLY be native if you’re not too native (source: im metis)

When talking about how groups are included until not needed and then pushed out I'd like to say I experience that and I see it going far beyond that scope. I'm a transwoman and in the trans community this makes me a 'binary' trans person. The reason why this distinction is made is because people are frequently more accepting towards 'binary' trans people than 'non-binary'. There is a small subgroup of binary trans people who are NBphobic and are vocally attacking those people... Naturally despite this group being small they are often granted platform by those who are higher up in the pyramid. It's pretty dumb of them. They see the short term results of pushing down a subgroup of an already oppressed people and think that it is beneficial to them personally.
Rose Juliette YES!!!! gosh, thank you for speaking up about this. i’ve been subject to these binarists, if you will, just because i have “non-binary, they/them” in my bios on social media. they associate non-binary people with “transtrenders” or whatever shit they make up to cozy up with people who would easily turn on them (ie; transphobic cis people). i’ve said this before, but the attitudes of truscum/transmeds/binarists are always “fuck you, i have mine.”
@@jayhay111 I'm sorry you had to these bafoons. You are so right about the "I got mine" mentality. I've genuinely heard people say that they didn't want to include NBs because "they are taking up space on the waiting list"... I'm amazed that they cannot see how blatantly discriminatory that is. I'll always stick up for NB rights though. NBs have done tons for LGBT+ rights so it would be the least I could do to support their truths in return. ❤️❤️❤️
Purity spiraling can manifest anywhere there is victimhood.
I'm friends with a recently out trans woman who has this mentality... She doesn't attack them, but she also does not believe non-binary trans identities are real. I try to change her mind, but being cis I really don't know how to effectively argue from my position. It feels like lecturing a trans person on what transness is. I just hope that when she becomes more of a part of the community, and actually meets non-binary people and sees the diversity they have (I think she mostly sees them as the stereotypical 14-year old "transtrender going through a phase") her opinion will change.
This. I hate that people joke about "we are just inventing genders now lolol!" That's literally how genders work, we invent them. If you like your free speech doesn't let you to be sensible, why the hell are you trying to stop me from saying my nonbinary gender?
@17:24 that moment where you find Saint Augustine's description of evil with slightly different words. "Evil has no substance of its own. It is only the corruption or perversion of that which has substance."
I just found your channel today, and I've watched several videos. Thank you, I cannot imagine the amount of work and research these videos require.
This cleared something for me. I had a discussion with someone in where I called the actor Oscar Isaac a minority actor, but the other guy called him a white man. And I couldn't understand how someone could see him as a white man. For me, it was his heritage that I was seeing, for the guy I was arguing with, it seemed to be whether or not Oscar could pass visually for a white guy. Which apparently he can (despite me initially thinking Oscar was Jewish, and in fact I've learnt that Oscar lost an early role because a director thought the same). So here's a Latino actor. Who is seen as Latino, White, and Jewish, from three different people.
Whiteness doesn't exist
It’s almost like race doesn’t make any fucking sense 😂
"Whiteness is defined by what it's not."
"Jewish" is a religion. "White" is a color. "Latino" is race. They're literally three different categories (if we presume that they're even valid as categories to begin with). It seems entirely reasonable for ONE person to see someone as all three of those at the same time, if it were accurate.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 you were almost right, but... Latino LITERALLY IS NOT a race. it's a ETHNOCULTURE. Latin people can be of ANY race. You can be Jewish, White AND Latin at the same time indeed, because they are three different categories. But, "white" in this context is not a color, is the name of the race. So, say. You were born in Brazil (a Latin country), so you're Latin, you were raised in or entered the Judaism religion, so you're Jewish, and also, incidently, you are white. There you go. you have your culture/ethnicity, a religion and a race, simultaneously. Just like one can be, say, Anglosaxon, Black and Christian, like, Beyoncé.
i love how you explained whiteness. it only means what we make it mean. the absence of race.

Hey, I’m a time traveler from 2023. It gets worse.
"They are, at least some percentage of the time, doing facsism, and that's all we need to know." - SO True. I hate getting hung up on the 'but are they really? you can't call everyone who does x a nazi'. We need to be paying attention to the actions being taken that promote fasicistic governance.
The response to "you can't call everyone who does x a nazi" is "yes I can". Because as it turns out, sometimes "people who do x" is literally part of the definition for words that describe groups of people. As an example, if they're putting people into concentration camps based on the arbitrary circumstances of their birth, it would be intellectually dishonest to NOT call them a nazi.
9:29 Hitler wasn't elected, he was appointed as chancellor by Hindenburg. After Hindenburgs death Hitler also assumed the position of Reichspräsident and united them into the title of "Führer". He wasn't elected, he was appointed/ took over a position that he wasn't legally allowed to do. The NSDAP never got an absolute majority until they abolished all other parties.
well just to remember the Parliament agreed to the legislation proposed from Hitler to give him this power, the NSDAP together with the liberals the conservatives and the catholic party, only Social-Democrats voting against it. (Communists already were in Prison and not part of the parliament anymore) So it is true to some extent that he was elected, but your point is also not wrong.
Hitler was elected.
@@notme-ew9sv I'm sorry, but amongst the myriad of sources you cited I kind of missed when and by whom he was elected. Please clear that up for me, will you ?
Yeah, but he also thinks Lenin was a statist and Stalin was a fascist... so, he clearly doesn't understand history and while I like his videos, this video really made his voice sound pompous due to how wrong he is about... well... just about every thing. Fascism has come in so many forms but capitalism is a core feature...
@Antifa means Anti FASCIST It's an important distinction. The entire position of head of state in Germany has been stripped of power afterwards when the new Republic was made, as a direct result of Hindenburg screwing over the nation with that decision. It's the people who don't learn from history who give air to fascists to repeat it. You can only learn from it if you ACTUALLY know it ... Without the position of Reichspräsident holding power that no single position should in a democracy, Hitler wouldn't have risen to power. The NSDAP had dwindling results in elections and the country was starting to move out of the depression - the single greatest reason people were swayed to the political extreme.

It's worth adding a few thoughts 1. Fascism is always aided and abbetted by opportunists. It needs opportunists to succeed because it's not an ideology for power brochers, it's an ideology for a national petit-bourgeoisie and a wannabe petit-bourgeoisie. The people who actually have power only care about entrenching their position (usually). 2. as fascism functions as an extension of ideologies whose role is the reproduction of capitalism (racism, supremacist nationalism, and patriarchy), it is impossible to say that fascism is truly "un-capitalist". Quite the opposite, actually, as it appears whenever capitalism trips and a movement arises to change the economic system, as the alternative to that movement (so the petit-bourgeoisie and its wannabes need not fear the loss of power or the potential to gain it). Fascism depends on the normative assertion of the relationship between property owner and worker and the colonial holdings that fuel it. Fascism only manages to not be truly "capitalist" at the level of ideology, because fascists do not know or care what they're doing. As you mentioned, there is no endgame. The object of fascism isn't just unattainable, it's incomprehensible. 3. Ideologically speaking, fascism has no material component. It does not care in any rationalistic way about economics or actual systems of power distribution. It is neither liberal nor Marxist nor anarchist nor feudalist. I think that's what you meant when you said it wasn't "capitalist". Fascism is reaction in untreated form. It is pure mysticism; not the only kind, but not of any other kind. 4. It's difficult to understand fascism without understanding reaction in general. Reactionaries fear and resist change to the social power structure, be it a minority group seeking protection and ultimate integration into the majority, a minority whose role is necessary proletarianization wishing for not-that, a genocided minority wanting safety and their land back please and thanks, or the underclass itself hoping to overturn entirely the relations of power that exist. Everyone who is not gung-ho about revolution harbours a little reactionary sentiment, but it's important to note that reaction also stands in opposition to the progress of capitalism. Capitalism has a habit of undermining its own ideological supports in order to make money. Lifestyle marketing sells, labour is more efficiently distributed when it's more fungible, so sell black culture and gay culture (and especially black gay culture) and let the women and the queers work in the same jobs as everyone else. Political liberalism is thus a position in tension between its reactionary elements that want to keep the fundamental order intact, its progressive ones that want to alter the order a bit for the furtherance and sustainability of capitalism, and its progressive ones that want to alter the order a lot but are willing to compromise on its total transformation to the end of getting some aims met now, and whose allegiance is necessary because otherwise they'd go over and bolster the revolutionaries. Conservatism, on the other hand, is defined by its reactionary tendencies (kinda in the name there), which is what makes it fertile ground for fascist intensification. But conservatism isn't pure reaction. It doesn't fear the whole idea of compromise with the enemy (on the contrary, it sees the maintenance of the order as all-important so it will do what it needs to do), and it does have progressive elements in that its backers want to claim and make use to its fullest whatever new means is available for making more money. This is in tension with its monopolistic elements, which tend towards stagnation and decay if you let them get their way. The fact that conservatism is defined by reaction puts it on a sliding scale with fascism. The difference is made in degrees of reactionary intensity and coherent material want (more of one, less of the other). 5. So what really distinguishes an opportunist from a fascist in a practical sense? Probably how far they're willing to go to keep up the charade, honestly. It won't matter if Trump was never a true believer if he seizes power and starts purging minorities in earnest, not even to historians. It's still sort of a line that has to be drawn on a scale. I think, more important is to recognize that I would like to not be on this scale.
Fascism and third positionism isn’t reactionary
Lol most fascist thought is as pathologically anti-bourgeoise as the various formulations of radical left/Marxist theory.

Some parts of this video describe Israel so well it's a little scary
Because they are x
Especially around the 10:30 mark.
because israel was settled based on the pretense of "we won't be like those cowards who got genocided, we will set ourselves apart and prove that we're strong". That set the stage for everything we're seeing today. Israeli figureheads recognized how good fascism is at consolidating power and seek to assimilate into the same white power structure that killed countless jewish people, and now we see it's gone so far that netanyahu is justifying the genocide by *using holocaust denialism*. He claims that the nazis weren't the real evil and that it was actually arab muslims pulling the strings all along. This ideology also does a pretty good job at convincing the israeli populace that it's all worth it, even though israel's status as basically being a massive US military base puts all israelis in direct danger. Israeli civilians are basically human shields for our western military, but if our leaders sell an ideology to them that the only way for them to be safe is by committing a genocide and eliminating every single (brown) human being who could ever remotely be seen as a threat, well, that gives us an easy puppet state to do our bidding while we pretend to be better than that (see: biden saying he stands against the genocide while continuing to use executive orders to send more weapons)
The white fascism isn't just about race. When fascist got their all-white ethnostate, it isn't obligate that they begin to erase irish, italian etc. There is a strong classism in fascism, too. They probably try to erase the homeless, the non-working people, the chronical sick, the ones that aren't fit for military (because fascism is hyper militaristic, too) or the low educated. You explained one aspect of fascism in detail, but you ignored all the other traits fascism in general has, that are also part of white fascism.
Yeah they tend to be pretty obsessed with "degeneracy" as an excuse for violent authoritarianism which is the one big piece lacking from this analysis. The idea of degeneracy is pretty poorly defined which allows them to use it against just about anybody they feel like, almost always to benefit those in power and target those at the bottom of the hierarchy.
Jesinchen there’s no end to the purge, they have an idea that “perfect” is achievable. and in some cases, it’s a massive underlying goal, achieve the perfect human.
"they try to erase... ...the low educated" I find this to be one of those great ironies of fascist and capitalist ideology. The very thing they both promote and sustain is the thing they condemn. Fascism does it directly through "right of access", and Capitalism essentially follows the same mold via pricing models and class war.
I agree, in fact fascism is just an ideology centred around narcissism and hate. I hate generalising, but from what I know, fascists only desire power, and they seem to use an out group to stop themselves from realising that it would mean they all are as corrupt as each other. The only person a fascist sees on top of the hierarchy is themselves or a person they can vicariously live their lives through (someone who is just like the "ideal" versions of themselves). And the only way they can be on top is to look down on other people. This is all observation, I don't want to act like I know more than I do

Or they call everyone a Nazi or White Supremacist if they disagree with them and are white, thus diminishing the impact of what those words actually mean.
its a completely understandible reaction to blaming white people for everything and open racism twards them in the media. the left isnt doing itself any favors by doubling down on the rhetoric. i think both sides need to back off and breath a little. wouldnt a year without politics in the media and social media be a breath of fresh air.
The stripping of more and more rights from more and more people is, imho, how you make an argument that fascism is bad even to people who are openly fascist. "You think you want this because you'll benefit - but you won't."
This is maybe my 9th time through this series and I see new things every time! It's interesting that you mention facists essentially "hiring" the medium groups to police the lowest. In Hunger Games (I know, children's novels), most peace keepers are from districts 1 and 2. Those districts are favored by the capitol, but book 4 makes it very very clear that there is substanial classism between the two, even if one has "earned" a life in the capital.
I have to say, what's described here, is eerily similar to what's happening in my country. In Malaysia, racial supremacy groups and the government in power employs fascism + constitutional and systemic violence, just never to the degree of Nazis. What Trump has been in America right now, is exactly what we've been going through for over half a century, and still living in it.

The ideas presented at around 8:49 are very interesting when viewed in the context of modern ideas of gender and helps explain one of the reasons why Fascists tend to be so bigoted against Trans people. To them, one of the metaphysical traits that makes them an "Us" is gender, and they see strict gender roles and gender itself as both unchangeable and a traditional fact. It's one of the reasons why Fascists will often be in strong support of promoting and enforcing strict gender roles. A male Fascist may see himself at the top of the pyramid in part because of his gender, something he believes simply cannot change, deal_with_it.jpg. The instant social movements, the public mindset, and scientific consensus start to even suggest that, no, gender is not so strictly defined and that the ones sex at birth is both flexible and not very useful in defining who they are or will become, it's seen as a direct attack on their power. Because, if gender is flexible, a fascist loses one of those metaphysical pillars they use to hold themselves at the top of the pyramid of power.
I was waiting for an actual argument against biological gender but all i got was an appeal to authority. There's a reason you just demonize traditional gender roles as an oppressive system instead of actually proving that there's no biological predisposition and evolutionary logic behind them. You aren't freeing anyone, just creating a misanthropic contradiction between human nature and your decadent beliefs, which has time and time again failed compared to what was pressured through evolution thousands of years ago. Women, the, on average, less expendable, less strong and less rational sex being the homemaker is not oppressive, it's only logical if that's what they are inherently like, that's how you have a strong tribe, your empty-headed ideas of utopia don't make genes disappear. How am i the irrational one when you literally think all humans are inherently the same? That's the most anti-intellectual religion ever, and it's literally nothing but a religion, you don't have any scientific arguments beyond appealing to authority, actually argue the arguments. Fascists want traditional gender roles because they are objectively better for society and go along very real biological differences and genetic predispositions, you want communism (or such) because you are innately decadent or/ brainwashed against reason, and what's reasonable is to acknowledge that genes and group averages exist, and if that is not done, we aren't even talking about humans.
@@fnfallout5664 But that wouldn't even matter. Even if there were biological predispositions and evolutionary purposes behind gender roles (there aren't), that doesn't make them good.
@@jameslanier2510 Even if there wasn't anything good to them (there is, it's very beneficial that two biologically different groups adapted and evolved differently, but you think building society along these lines is "oppressive", no, actively subverting human society to biology-denying misanthropy is oppressive), the sexes aren't the same in the head, and it would be an evolutionary miracle if that was the case (same with the races). You really aren't intellectually motivated at all if you willingly deny and ignore there being any effect by our genes to how we act and how different groups act (seriously, show me a single study that shows 0% heritability, in individuals or between groups), i don't think it's just ignorance, it's just to justify your decadence that plagues society, because god-forbid our whole species would have gone extinct if "anything goes" was a valid moral code. By all possible metrics, you people are irrational bigots and a danger to orderly and cohesive human society, be gone because you literally do nothing good, your specific idea of "progress" is a pseudo-intellectual joke.
@@jameslanier2510 "there aren't", yeah, the less expendable sex (females) generally stay out harm's way (like war) because of muh fascist social norms. Just as an example.
