things you're secretly kinda fascisty about

they are pointless

Comprehensive evidence based sex-ed should be mandatory in each and every school in this country starting at the elementary level.

otm

(i meant to hyphnate evidence-based and not sex ed - oops)

everyone on this thread otm

guns and cars should be banned forever

automatic tickets for any speeding

students who goof off in the classroom should be expelled immediately

Meaning you approve of heavyhandedness? I like this!

People who abuse or molest their children should be sterilized put down.

don't be so obv max, everyone in the world knows that guns and cars should be banned forever

there is a moment in dr. horrible's sing-along blog (shut up) where neil patrick harris, the villain, says "the world is a mess and i just need to...rule it" and rarely have i so fully identified with a television character.

sing along blogs

I could make a long long list of health care related ones but abortion should be covered under all insurance plans regardless of reason or number or anything tbh.

OTM

come on the point of these threads is challops don't go for the easy stuff

oh okay. i was thinking forced economic and racial integration at the housing level could be carried out alongside a program to move people back into city centers from the suburbs /pandering

again, you would have to be insane to not agree w/ that

whoever said due dates in libraries in the other thread, otm

it's hard because what's challops in american political discourse vs. what's challops on ilx, you know?

lol xp to iatee

PIZZA

CAPITALISM

talking on cellphone while driving should be illegal and equivalent to a dui

democracy is dumb, you should lose voting points for every dollar u earn (start off with 1 million points, millionaires get no points, children get 1 mil points cos they have no money etc)

pizza otm

I secretly yearn for the imprisonment of my political enemies, in a facility where they could enjoy the benefits of publically provided health care, nutritious food, free educational opportunities and easy listening music piped into their well-appointed cells.

whoa

xp to m bison's next-level proposal

winning vote totals are like...spongebob 1 trillion pts, tupac 1.1 trillion pts, barbara bush 3 pts

2nd-4th grades in the USA should be entirely taught in languages besides English

wow m bison just solved all of our problems

sure u can practice your religion every day if every day u want to be forced to eat dog shit, the choice is yours!

I'm pretty fascity about things related to pregnancy and birth that may not seem controversial here but are considered surprisingly "crazy" to a lot of people outside certain circles.

haha euler otm

i know i am still absorbing it

xxp

Everything at work has to be made with a welder to the acompanyment of the a-team soundtrack. EVERYTHING

"Oh shit, we're out of highlighters." Da-da-da *click, whooosh* da-da-da-da-daaa

i now see what this thread is about but i am not about to divulge my secret fascist fantasies.

there should be an enforced sterilization program on the bottom 5% and the top 5% of the population as ranked economically; you are in one fell swoop removing the people who cannot achieve and the people who achieve primarily via gross cheating and exploitation from the gene pool

Men can't wear ratty flip-flops at amusement parks.

I held back on making this cause secret libertarian fantasies are a lot more shameful than secret fascist fantasies

ban advertising everywhere on tv on billboards all of it

this thread could be interesting if its not interpreted as lol minor irritation couched in hyperbolic language lol like that tedious disgusting savages thread

come on the point of these threads is challops don't go for the easy stuff

Okay, fine: Free speech is overrated and I would like to be the fascist in charge of what is and isn't okay. Step one: burn reddit to the ground. Step two: send dog-whistle racist/misogynist politicians to gulags in the fetid swamps of southern Florida.

Ok, I'm honestly very serious about environmental regulations and companies being strong-armed into cleaning up after themselves and would be a total dictator about it.

But since I'm sure most everyone agrees with that, my contribution to our new fascist ilxorland would be enforced American (& state) flag display. Flags are pretty fascist right? I fucking love flags and now you're gonna fly 'em!

Step three: that "girls gone wild" guy publicly pilloried.*

*I don't even know if he's done anything horrible lately. I am just holding a grudge.

is anyone against flag burning?

Cyclists need to have front and rear lights while riding at night

Already the law in the state of Ohio. And it specifies a red light in the rear and a white light in the front. I have two each, actually, yr standard battery-powered blinky lights plus these.

I know people who have this weird irrational anger, a couple years on, that there were bike lanes added to this street near my home. It used to be a clusterfuck of lanes, parking, and unpainted lines as the city decided what to do. It was either a four lane road (two in either direction) plus occasional turning lanes, or three lanes with parking, or w/e. Now it's mostly two lanes of traffic, a center turning lane for about half the length of the road, and two bike lanes. There's also lots more parking.

The only real thing a driver had to learn was that there is a turning lane for right turns where you cross the bike lane into what is usually the parking lane. It's easy, you look for bicyclists, then merge over when the lane has a dashed line. People RAGE about this. Note that this entire stretch of road is 1.5 miles. A mere two blocks up the hill is a four lane road with next to zero traffic, so if you really wanted to avoid this, you could go up there. All of the numbers so far indicate that shops along the stretch are making more money, the number of accidents has gone down, and there's more foot traffic.

I DON'T GET IT.

people hate change

I think the rage comes from the fact people want to take the most direct road, drive as fast as they possibly can, and not have to actually look for things near the road. We have places where you can drive like that, they're called suburbs.

nah man that's called italy

as someone who didn't own a car until age 28 i'm very sympathetic to cyclists but shitty cyclists (that is, all the cyclists in my neighborhood) enrage me. i think it should be perfectly legal to mow down some beardo fuck going the wrong way down a one-way street.

5 years dungeon for thread derails

The 10 best drivers I know are still 10,000x the danger to themselves and others than the 10 worst cyclists.

ok I cannot tell you HOW many times a fucking week I almost hit a cyclist because they're not obeying the traffic laws they're supposed to obey. running red lights, etc.

three or four day work week whatever makes most economic sense but you ~have~ to directly contribute to the construction of entire cities designed by rem koolhaas (maybe) and the organization of massive rio de janeiro style carnivals for the entire population.

I like these suggestions because they seem taken straight of the SIm City 2000 model for urban planning.

go slower

very very fascisty about drivers bitching about cyclists, and i drive everywhere.

I hit three whole cyclists this morning and I still hate when drivers complain about them

fuck off, Matt P. I follow the law.

I don't blame all cyclists for the antics of these clowns that surround my college campus, fwiw -- I think it's an engineering student thing.

my brother's just been in a bike accident :( on way to hospital now. Jinx.

DARRA. Shit, I'm sorry. Speed to his side and take our support & concern as you go.

:[

best to you and your brother

good luck.

thks guys. Spoke to him and he's ok but banged up a little. Phew

thank goodness!

bicycle meets automobile never ends well, but banged up a little is well to the better side of the spectrum

pizza

pssh, who needs an automobile present to have a bike accident

mh otm, no cars involved,

jumper caught in front wheel at speed, no helmet. Big forehead gash, likely be carrying a decent scar for life, likewise from lip to nose (which is broken), large chip off front tooth, broken fingers, maybe torn calf muscle, shock and concussion. And lucky at that.

uuungh I will only be reading that description once

I feel like I got away relatively unscathed with two broken wrists, one of which was unnoticeable to me

what kind of jumper was he wearing, that it could get caught in the front wheel like that?

he had it on the handlebars, he is 32 fyi

sounds horrible. i hit my face hard into the ground in a non-bike accident a few weeks ago and it hurt like absolute hell. the hard bone of your head just smacks right into the unbelievable hardness of the road and any soft tissue in the way just gets smashed right through like it isn't even there. good luck to the poor guy

Securing my load when biking.

(me and everyone else reading this thread)

i am p fascisty about fascists
