Joke?

Complete sentences?

When i write "a little fascist" i mean "a little fascist", not real fascism and national socialism, no fascist governmental apperatus. What i was actually refering to you ask...

When the NSDAP came to power they started Nazification, or the historically descriptive term, "Gleichschaltung". Translations i found include "enforced (political) conformity". Close enough.

Naturally, that included the arts.

The problem isn't when the individual artist chooses to cover socialpolitical 'n stuff. The moment when guidelines and standards are enacted by companies and institutions interfering with the mechanisms of an industry, when an entire art form and the creative process is crippled to meet ideological ideals and anyone and anything to step out of line is being chastised and demonized, that's the point where it gets "a little fascist".

No, seriously, are you actually making some attempt at satire? Or do you actually believe that absurdity that you’re writing?

Fascism is a far right ultranationalist ideology that advocates for the penalizing (usually in the form of enslavement or extermination) of those who do not fit the traditional cultural and (in the case of Nazis) genetic paradigm of the nation. It is enforced by a totalitarian government which does not tolerate any kind of opposition.

How does The Last of Us support the so-called Totalitarian ultra-nationalist US regime in their goals of eliminating minority viewpoints that aim to subvert the national identity of the US?
