@StillIRise1963 @hannu_ikonen This is especially true when they are apparently contradictory or hypocritical. Consistency doesn’t matter to them.
@michaelgemar @StillIRise1963 @hannu_ikonen The contradictions are a feature to bind energies that could be used for actually fighting the fascists.
@schrotthaufen @StillIRise1963 @hannu_ikonen Agreed, and I also think that they are a demonstration that the movement is not about consistent ideology, but instead naked power. Making its followers declare contradictions is a way of expressing that.
@schrotthaufen @StillIRise1963 @hannu_ikonen “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy.” — 1984
