The real question is whether or not the Nazis were Fascist.

The NDSAP perpetuated an official state run and state sponsored policy of genocide.

At a certain point it doesn’t matter if they were fascist, communists, theocrats, democrats, monarchists, or anarchists.

They put 11 million to death.

Another resident tested positive for Covid at work today, so, the lockdown that was supposed to end continues for another 2 weeks. The rest of the residents were tested again and all negative, so, that's good at least. I passed my test this morning too, don't know if all of my work chums will or not though.

The infection control RN and I were talking about that South American Omicron variant at the testing site this morning too and he said it's understood to be pretty mild, symptoms-wise, less dangerous, so, that's good, assuming his source is correct.

Can you rephrase the question while also calling me a libtardtarian?

I need a little more excitement.

It was supposed to be an insult towards Norton. I don't think you're a nazi.

Franco was missing a key component of fascism. But he talked like a duck and walked like a duck.
I'll bite what was it?

But this is what I'm talking about.
The defenitons for it are vague and ambiguous now there's hundreds of different ones, everyone's a fascist and nobody is a fascists and then the word looses it's meaning.

Well he certainly didn't have Stalin's great hair.

In a fascist state the individual’s needs are superseded by the needs of the state. If necessary one must sacrifice themselves for the good of the state.

IIRC:
Franco didn't call to reorganize society. He wanted to keep it more or less the same.... With him and his nationalists in place.

I wonder what work will do about those that already submitted their resignations?

So who instituted the policy?

If your employer instituted a policy, then it stands until they repeal it.

They were just implementing said CMS mandate, as directed by the government, it wasn't my employer's decision.

Great news! Now the health care workers at your job won't be forced to care about the health of the at high risk elderly patients! They can indulge their own feeble minded paranoias and conspiracy theories instead! Justice is served.

I hope the people at your job try to un-resign and get denied. Then I hope they all get eaten by Louisiana alligators. Then I hope a train collides with a sewage tanker which floods downhill and drowns the people attending their funerals. But other than that, have a great day!

Wouldn’t a better outcome be the people refusing to vaccinate actually realize the error of their ways and change their behavior.

Your scenario is entertaining.

Perhaps If they had the capacity to introspectively analyze thier life choices, they wouldn't be working there.

Because the labor is unfit for a human to do or because they’d realize if they aren’t willing to vaccinate they should seek employment elsewhere because of the risk it puts their patients in?

I assume you mean the latter.

Obviously. But my patience for dimwits is at an end. I am done with these wilfully stupid douchebags and their romantic playacting at being rebels against the oppressive empire or whatever. It was funny for a good long time, but that time is now over for me. If they'd rather die than be saved, I am no longer inclined to disagree with their decision.

My patience of nihilistic idiocy ended in 2016 and you blamed my dismissiveness against trumpanzees for him being elected (IIRC).

Anti vaxxers used to be well split between the two major parties.
There's a NBC documentary in the last couple months, they follow Q / anti-vaxers around.
In the video they are all hippy spiritual yoga people that love Trump.

Many people were wrong about the nightmare four years of Trump would bring. We’re on your side now.
