"because they "are," racist.
So I'll be the three year-old: why are they racist?
.
Some people are racist, some people are not, and you just proved my point, you go to "these ones ARE," but show no curiosity why some ARE and some are not.
There is no "why," for causes still.

@punishmenthurts because they learn to be racist due to the already existing racism in the society. People aren't born racist, they are introduced to racism by other people. I could attempt go into the long history of racism and imperialism, but I would rather have someone else with more experience do that. I couldn't give the history of racism and imperialism the treatment it deserves. Fascism is simply the result of previous tendencies within a society.

OK, how? Why?
Then you're starting to get somewhere. I'll give you that answer: spanking.
.
How fascism is what you said.
Why fascism is spanking.
.
So my problem is if you're not fighting spanking, you're not dealing with "why," and you're going to have this problem forever, every century from now on, just like this, except in a worse and worse environment.
.
Nobody seems to know this, nobody thinks this, just my Autistic ass.
.
But the point is I see a million How To Fascism posts and none of them really go to causes, at all.
.
History does this too, a lot of what and how, no why.

@punishmenthurts child abuse is definitely an individual factor on why someone would become a political authoritarian, and indeed I believe that spanking shouldn't be tolerated. But to say that it is the root cause of fascism is a stretch. Just my autistic thoughts.

Oh, you're Autistic. So I would say you've been saying the only thing anyone says, most of the world talks the way I'm complaining about.
.
I'm in another conversation right now with some Autistics about how that's a difference, we expect good from folks and so are naïve and easily taken advantage of, while normal people assume the worst - they don't ask "why," of fascism, because they assume it to be in everyone's heart and during good times we all just had it "under control."
I think it defines them. ❤️

@punishmenthurts I tend to assume the best from people unless I learn otherwise. Politics is one area that I learned otherwise.

Autistic people tend to not be fascists. That's something I've noticed.

I'm always ranting about evolution, how they don't think they're still evolving, how they don't think the environment they create is still shaping us - them - in every generation. ❤️

@punishmenthurts I've never really thought about it before. That is definitely an interesting perspective.

wow, thank you.
What a pleasure to talk to Autistics. No normal person ever says that. ❤️
