- unethical_ban 3y agoFascism is laws I don't like! edit: I think it is wrong to call a vaccine mandate fascist.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoNah. Facism has lots of prominent birthmarks. National populism. The cult of personality around an adored leader. A unifying cause against created enemies. Militarism and paramilitarism. Obsessive, fear-fueled NatSec. Demonization of human rights. Party capture of government enabling revenge based politics for starters.
- unethical_ban 3y agoI was being sarcastic. Honestly it was a low-effort post that doesn't belong on HN. You are correct. I was mocking the user above for suggesting that a vaccine mandate was "fascist".
- canadiantim 3y agoI never claimed it was fascist, just that it was leading Brazil down a dark path. The reason I believe this is because the pandemic is long over... there is no need for a mandate anymore. It's excessively heavy-handed government forcing an ideology onto everyone in that country.
- logicchains 3y agoIt's absolutely facist to pass a law that breaches fundamental medical ethics (no treatment without consent), and especially to mandate something that will kill some small number of recipients for the "greater good".
