Many years ago I had to create a Facebook account because of my job (it was the only way to feasibly test Facebook integration in a software). Even back then I didn't have a single social media account nor wanted one, and that has not changed an iota. Thus I wouldn't have created the Facebook account either, if it weren't for that reason. After that I made the mistake of actually adding people I know to my friends list in Facebook. (Later I cut down the list to like 10% of what it was, by removing the vast majority of people from it.)
Anyway, I have noticed that lately Facebook has been showing me Facebook posts of random people and organizations that I have never had any engagement with, some random "suggested for you" posts. Even more recently I have noticed how more and more of these "suggested for you" random posts have been leftist political propaganda. (One really has to wonder why...)
Like, for example, this image posted by some BS organization named "united humanists":
I think it beautifully summarizes the far-leftist narrative of recent years.
The far left needs its enemies to hate, to rally against, with the intention of gaining power. After all, if you want to gain power and influence, even if there are no real problems in society you can just invent them, and offer yourself as the "solution" to that conjured "problem".
The far left, especially in the United States, and consequently to increasing manners in the rest of western countries, during the last few years has pushed really, really hard into the public consciousness that "fascism" is the biggest threat that our society faces currently.
Of course this is complete bullshit, and a completely imaginary and fabricated "problem". Actual neo-fascists do not hold any kind of power in society, in most countries (especially not in the United States). Nobody likes them, nobody votes for them, nobody elects them to any position of power. They don't appear in TV, they are pretty much never invited to any TV talk shows or interviews, and nothing positive or even neutral is ever said about them anywhere. Their own propaganda is pretty much invisible because nobody broadcasts it (and, lately, most major online platforms in fact actively censor and "deplatform" them, which goes against the concept of freedom of speech, but that's not really the topic of this post. I'm just recounting the reasons why actual fascists do not hold any power or any say in modern society, be they good reasons or bad reasons.)
Naturally this hasn't stopped the far left from still claiming that "fascists" hold too much power in society. How to do that? Well, by claiming that everybody who doesn't align with their ideology is a "fascist". Even moderate leftists are now "fascists" if they disagree in any way with the excesses of the far left.
This kind of false narrative is not completely inconsequential, though. It's not just a situation where people are fooled into believing a false narrative, but which doesn't have negative consequences other than that.
The major problem is that this false "fascists are everywhere and have too much power and must be fought" narrative is a diversionary tactic: It's drawing attention away from the actual problem, which is the opposite of what's being claimed.
In other words, it's drawing attention away from the fact that communists are gaining more and more power in society, under the radar, and nobody is really noticing.
There isn't really much difference between fascists and communists, politically speaking. They are both monstrous hideous horrendous and murderous political ideologies, and both types of people can go rot in the deepest pits of hell. In fact, communism is even worse than fascism when we look at death counts: Communism has murdered more people for political reasons than any other political ideology in the entire history of humanity, including fascism.
Communism should be treated with the same level of disdain and disgust as fascism, and any of their narratives should make you want to puke, and they should be relegated to the social obscurity that they deserve.
But that's not what's happening in modern society. And that's the result of this intentional and purposeful diversionary tactic: By conjuring this "fascism" problem out of thin air, it draws attention away from the raise of communism in western countries. In fact, it's more and more pushing the narrative of "fascism is on the raise, we (ie. the communists) are the solution".
Communists, and people ideologically aligned with them, are actually gaining more and more political power by the day. Communist political parties are commonplace in most countries, and in many they even get voted into parliament. They get to spout their poisonous narrative in mainstream media, and they don't get censored by social media platforms. And, what's scariest, less and less people are wary of them, and acceptance is growing.
Communism is a murderous political ideology that causes only totalitarianism, suffering, misery and genocide, and its gaining more and more power by the day. And only a tiny minority of people are noticing. The rest are fooled into thinking that "fascism" is on the raise and their attention is diverted to that.
This massive diversionary tactic campaign is intentional, and it's working.
