Course there is.
You are a very credulous man. Basically the more fascist the report the more inclined you are to believe it.
I don't appreciate that. My parents generation were routinely being attacked by NF (real fascists) thugs. So I, as a black man do not appreciate that at all - my race has arguably been the biggest victims of fascism.
And I cannot betray my teachers at school and in my black community centre. As a kid I would go to the black community centre and tell our leader that I'm learning about General Custer's last stand. He would encourage me to learn about the WHOLE context and look into the WHOLE picture. The same when I told him the history teacher is telling us about Churchill's leadership in WWII
Now, if I was inclined to believe the first report and never think and research I would have ended up with the fascist belief that the native Americans were savages who were attacking (on mass) small groups of White Europeans. That's what all the pics in my history text book and the black and white movies they were playing on the BBC would have led me to believe. That would have been a pure fascist belief.
But rather I know that the Europeans raped and committed a full scale genocide of those people - that's why they were attacking the small groups of white Europeans (who always seemed to be looking pleasant and in Army uniform with guns whilst the Natives appeared angry and half naked).
Yeh so I don;t believe that fascist belief - I have looked at all the sources and believe the Europeans committed genocide and the Natives were not the aggressors but rather just trying to defend their communities. I would not have learned that if I accepted the fascist belief. Oh and do you know the Europeans were using the breasts of Native women as tobacco pouches? Sick, right. I mean if ISIS was doing that it would be well known, why is it that we weren't taught this at school. Why is Custer taught as a hero?
Another point, we were taught about Churchill. If we were naive and never bothered to research (or in my case - if I never had my black community study group as a kid) we would be thinking Churchill was anti-fascist. In fact the man was a racist bigot (perhaps that's where the extremists in the British Army who kill loads of Brown women and kids by blowing their bodies to smithereens whilst they sleep get their inspiration from).
Do you know Churchill said this about Indian people:
"I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion."
(And when Indian people were starving of a famine he refused to help and blamed them for breeding like rabbits - all the while the facist was sending cereal to white Australians)
And about some other brown people in Palestine he said:
"barbaric hoards who ate little but camel dung,"
And the bigot approved of giving the fertile land in Kenya to white farmers (by taking it AWAY from people of my skin colour - black people)
He also was in charge as his band of 'men' tortured black people in Kenya with fire and electrocution.
Oh and interestingly enough, when he sent his band of 'men' into the Afghan/Pakistan border area guess what those brown people fought back (just like the Native Americans had done earlier). You know what that bigot Churchill did? He did the same shit as the right wing FOX news do. He blamed them and accused those brown people of being jihadist savages.
Talking about savages, my race was called savages many times simply because we were rebelling in the slave colonies. Fuck, yeh Black people who sick of seeing thei women raped and their men getting whipped and mutilated. So they started rebelling. Yet we were called savages for doing something that was perfectly HUMAN (rebelling against torture and brutality)
You see, I don;t buy the real fascist narrative presented by some; namely that these brown/black people are causing problems because they are savages or because their religion/race/genetic makeup leads them to do this.
I'm not a fascist...that's exactly why I would rather look at brown, white, yellow and black people as humans and disprove the bullshit out there that is designed to dehumanise for the cause of true fascism and imperialism.
Oh and if I was inclined to believe the first narrative on Iraq I would end up believing the bullshit narrative in this country that Britian and America are trying to civilize and help the Iraqis. You don;t civilize and help people by dropping bombs on their kids and women whilst stealing their oil. The truth is the British soldiers who are funded by our taxes are linked to far greater crimes against humanity that ISIS. Let's have a closer look to home, let's be more scholarly about matters by looking into things deeper.
