Anti-Fascists Can't Define Fascism
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Can anyone tell me what fascism is?
I know it's a little bit different than that.
Hi, I really love your sign.
Will you stop?
Hi puppies, how are you?
No way for my dogs.
Get away from my dog.
Go.
If you are the cops, we'll bite you.
Back up.
They're threatening to have the dogs bite me.
Do you know what fascism is?
Attacking.
Press.
Yes, yes, fascist.
Yeah.
We got a fascist right here.
If you want to be this close to me, why don't you just use your words and we can have a dialogue?
Silencing the dissenters is fascism.
They're literally doing this to me right now.
We are here at the honeymoon island causeway where there is a very small protest in front of the Dollar General where these people are fighting against fascism.
We all know that fighters of fascism all began their revolutions outside the Dollar General.
So as you can see, we've got the best generals here.
And let's see if anybody will talk to us.
You refuse fascism.
Restricting reproductive rights is fascism.
Isn't restricting the First Amendment fascism?
Yeah.
I'm just here to discuss things with you guys and get your word out.
Which you could easily do.
Hi, how are you?
I'm here to cover your guys' event.
You guys have a lot of good signs.
I love these signs.
Oh hi!
I recognize you.
You're the one that laid down in the ants that one time.
Okay, I don't know if you organized this, but they're having these old people lay down in ants.
Hi, what's your sign say?
Denying human rights is fascism.
I agree with you.
I agree with you.
Listen, so I've been around you before.
Please just leave me alone.
Shh.
Touchdown!
Soldiers.
Would you like to have a discussion about what you guys are out here protesting today?
I'd love to talk to you actually.
Because I agree with you.
Restricting reproductive rights is fascism.
I just disagree when it comes to reproduction has already happened, and then you're ending the life of people.
That's where I disagree with you on.
I also think it's fascist tendencies to try and drown out conversations and hurt people's ears with a whistle.
So I'm just gonna tell you that's hurting my ears, so please stop that.
You're committing battery against me right now, actually, is what you're doing.
Are those not fastest tactics To hurt people?
You're recording yourself committing battery Right now Okay, I'm gonna walk away from you.
Scapegoating minorities fascism.
Hi!
How are you?
You're shaking a little bit.
I'm not that scary.
I'm not that scary.
Guys, there's like max 15 of you here.
You could at least get your message out to the only people who are gonna see you, which is my audience.
If you want people to listen to you and have a conversation to get your word out, my audience is the only people that are going to witness you here today.
And the few people okay, don't what are you doing that for?
I want you to back away from my husband, please.
If you don't want to be on camera, just walk away from the camera though, ma'am.
Why don't we leave?
What?
Leave.
You can leave, yeah, that's fine.
What if we go this way?
Ignore.
Ignore, they're gone.
How far are you gonna follow me?
Is anybody wanna have a conversation about about what you guys believe in?
I would love to talk about your signs.
I would love to get your message out.
Maybe I could learn something here.
Do you believe that reproductive rights are under attack?
Or do you think reproduction is allowed to happen?
It's just after the fact what we do with the people that have been reproduced.
Because your sign is about reproductive rights.
I would argue that no one is trying to do anything with reproductive rights.
I would say they're trying to protect the people who have already been reproduced after that point.
Do you see what I'm saying?
So you guys were supposed to dress up as ice agents today.
Is that the point?
Was today you're supposed to dress up like ice agents?
Or is this like a death a death to our rights?
If he's hurting my I don't know, boy or girl.
If they're hurting my ears, I know they're hurting their friend's ears.
Let's go talk to this woman down here.
Hi, I really love your sign.
Will you stop?
I'm protecting my friend.
What is your friend in danger of?
I really think your sign is interesting.
You have Jesus being taken away by ICE agents.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP Group selfie.
Hey guys, I'm with my friends.
Uh all great revolution start in front of the Dollar General and with a whistle in your mouth and shines like this.
You guys are doing a great job out here, by the way.
Silencing the dissenters is fascism.
They're literally doing this to me right now with whistles, committing battery against me and hurting my ears and preventing me from talking to people.
Contempt for the weak is fascism.
They're literally hurting these out elderly people's ears with whistles.
So this is a good one.
Hi!
Oh my goodness, what is this?
These are called squawkers.
Did you get those in the Dollar General?
I didn't, and can you believe it?
They were eight for one dollar.
Eight for one dollar.
You guys love the Dollar General, don't you?
Oh, it's right here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very convenient.
Alright, give me use one of those for the camera.
Give me a little something celebratory.
Okay.
Give me a little something.
Alright.
Ready?
Oh, what did you what are we blowing that for?
What are we celebrating today?
Um, this is a not a so much a celebration as it is a standout.
They created signs of protest.
And the one second, one second.
I'll talk to her next.
Okay.
Um created signs of protest about fascism.
Okay.
And these are the signs of fascism.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll get to him next.
He's been waiting to talk to me.
I wanted to talk to you for a moment.
Okay.
What is fascism?
What?
Guys, stop that.
Oh, she's gonna close you out of the platform.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, what is fascism?
Oh this is one sign of fascism right here what she's doing.
So I do disagree with with these.
I did vote for Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean that I can't talk to you guys about what you're doing out here.
I like to have conversations with people.
Yeah, do not meet you understand.
She's not she's following me.
I'm just wondering what fa what what is fascism?
you know?
*Pewds sounds*
I'm asking for someone to just tell me what the definition of fascism is.
You guys are resisting it.
I see a lot of signs with the word on it, but can you define fascism?
No, I'm asking you, not behind you.
You right here.
Blue shirt.
You're very nice dressed today.
It's a little chilly out here.
Do you know what fascism is?
No?
What are you refusing today?
*whistling* *whistling* *whistling*
You know, that looks silly.
Just tell me what fascism is.
Do you know what fascism is, sir?
Alright.
You guys might know what fascism is if you went to ground.newslash liberty where you can actually see what both sides of the aisle is saying about a particular subject.
So you have a lot of signs here about stuff the Trump administration is doing, and I have a feeling you're only reading left-leaning news sources.
But if you went to ground.news slash liberty, you'd actually see what the right wing is also saying and the center is saying about every single topic, every single news story that's happening.
And you could have a better understanding of what everyone in the country is reading and what's going on and what news is saying.
It could help you defend your ideas out here because you would know exactly what everybody in the country might be reading about a certain story.
And that's how I am so well versed in what you guys think about out here today.
And I would love to have a dialogue with you.
But if not, we can start with you getting a 40% off code on the screen right now.
It's a QR code.
Scan that you can get 40% off at ground.newslash liberty for subscription.
You get all kinds of neat tools and resources to help you be better informed about what this side is reading out here because they won't tell us here today.
Religion and government intertwined is fascism.
All of their signs can easily be debunked or actually proven to have happened more so with the person that they had in office just even a year ago, which is very interesting.
Weaponizing the DOJ.
That's what the Biden admin did to January 6th people.
And it's really sad.
It's pretty stupid.
What's stupid?
Do you think the January 6th people who were in prison that may have been a little bit of fascism?
Any request?
Sir, we could just have a civil conversation, can't we?
Like we could just have a civil conversation.
What is fascism?
And do you think that guy is too weak to where he can't defend his ideas?
Why would you urge him not to talk to me?
If you think you guys know exactly what you're talking about and you're so smart, wouldn't you just debate your ideas and just give definitions of what you believe?
It's not that hard.
*crickets*
Thanks to you guys supporting me at uh patreon.com slash Caitlin Bennett.
Part of my security fund went to protecting my ears out here because they are known to go crazy and whistle in my ears.
And I have a feeling they're getting whistles more and more because they know that I show up to their things.
Uh which is actually a crime.
It's considered battery in the state of Florida to hurt someone's ears with a sound amplification device.
So thank you guys for um my ear protection right now.
I really like your sign, ma'am.
It says fear mongering is fascism.
What people at this person right here and the guy with the ponytail is doing is fear mongering about me and who I am and what my intentions are.
I just want to talk to you guys.
And I believe that your friends are doing a little bit of fear mongering about a Trump supporter, which actually calling us fascists and treating us like this and withholding dialogue when someone is coming to talk to you.
Um that gets people hurt because you paint us as fascist and stuff.
There's there that guy goes.
Can anyone explain their signs?
Can you explain this sign?
You're just holding things, but there's no context if you don't want to.
I do want to point out you guys watching this and all the people who will watch this, is the majority of people who will see their protests today.
Without me, they wouldn't have as many eyes.
Can you join in?
This guy over here is shaking like a leaf, by the way.
He's just shaking like a leaf.
Blow your whistle thing.
Yeah.
Guys, this is how you're fighting fascism.
You gotta be kidding me.
Do you like my hat?
So if they're not gonna talk to me, it might as well be forthcoming about exactly what I support.
I support ice.
If you want to be this close to me, why don't you just use your words and we can have a dialogue?
I'm the youngest one here.
You could just have a dialogue with me.
I support ice.
I like ice in my vodka.
Yeah, I like ice in my communities.
I like ice melted and gone.
Ice melted and gone.
Well, good thing you live in Florida because that's a good place to be.
Where do you see ice doing something wrong?
They'll just like shout things, but would you love to talk to me?
I mean, honestly, I now more than ever.
I think everybody can agree, at least everybody can agree that dialogue is so important.
And as Charlie Kirk would say, when we stop talking, bad things happen, and that's when violence starts to happen.
And we've seen an uptick of left-wing violence in our country, and unfortunately, people still just don't have it in them to have a dialogue.
Support ice.
I think what they're doing is a good thing.
If you guys disagree, I would love to hear your perspective about why you disagree.
And I know that you guys are very passionate about what you believe in.
You're throwing down the dance moves for it.
Couldn't you just back yourself up with words instead of dance moves and whistles?
It's not that hard.
Because I love what I believe in, and I know what I believe in is the truth.
I will come and defend it, and I have so much fun doing it at the same time.
You wonder if this is actually people getting paid.
Because they look miserable out here.
They aren't even ch they aren't like talking to e you have your middle finger up.
Why don't you talk about why don't you just have a dialogue instead of having gestures thrown up at me?
How about instead of being here?
Quiet.
Why would you listen to that person trying?
Why are you silencing her?
Isn't that fascist?
Yeah, she told you quiet.
She said uh-uh, quiet right now, and you listen to her, but that that's kind of like fascism, right?
No.
No.
Can you explain what fascism is?
Can can you just can you explain what fascism is?
Hi puppies, how are you?
Get away from my dogs.
Get away from my dog.
Go.
Back up.
They're threatening to have the dogs bite me.
No, I don't know.
Are you okay?
So go.
I just came over here.
You're freaking her dogs out.
Please.
No, the only thing that's freaking the dogs out are you guys blowing these whistles.
Oh, so this is your daughter.
Yeah.
Good job.
You're doing a great job with that one.
My mother did a bad job.
Yeah, I know.
At least I know how to have dialogue, guys, instead of threatening to have your dogs bite me.
That's insane.
I'm going to bite you.
I said, Yeah.
Yeah, you said if I don't leave, you're gonna have your dogs bite me.
That's insane.
So now your dogs are your guys' weapons.
She said, did your mother take time?
I see this sign here.
It says everybody must choose what side they're on.
What two sides do you think there are that people can choose from?
I notice your button says democracy needs your courage.
I'm asking you to have the courage to defend your ideas.
I've seen no courage today except people trying to silence dialogue.
Which is weird because I need you to have courage to stand up for what you believe in right now.
I know that you can do it.
I know that you're passionate about what you believe, but no one here has had the courage to even defend one single idea of theirs they've just threatened to have their dog bite me I think your sign's super interesting because it says censoring the arts I've never really seen somebody talk about censoring the art oh don't push me oh okay you're like two feet taller or smaller than me don't do that where do you see them censoring the arts because I've never seen someone really defending the arts could you get that out of my face real quick go ahead sir don't open your mouth why
Why can't he open his mouth?
He has Alzheimer's.
Okay.
So why is he out here?
With her.
With her?
Okay.
Do you know what sign you're holding respectfully?
I don't think people should be out here that might not know what they're holding, right?
God loves you.
God loves you as well.
God loves all of us.
But do you think, I mean, just respectfully, do you think that's fair?
I'm not sure that it it's fair and it's actually respectful to the people if they have Alzheimer's and you're bringing them out here to hold a sign.
I'm being 100% respectful in that criticism here don't push me don't push me no way is this your husband well I will pray for you guys and for his condition I do respectfully just think that maybe if he you know I mean it kind of speaks for itself would you like to talk about his sign?
Go away.
Go away.
He was willing to talk to me until you came in and silenced this dialogue.
I'm sure you guys heard what was going on, but I went to ask him about his sign.
He was forthcoming and wanted to tell me all about it.
And she comes up.
He has Alzheimer's.
Don't talk to him.
And I actually, like, my first instinct wasn't even to laugh.
That's super, I just think that's disrespectful.
And I was trying to be really respectful.
And my criticism of that, because it just might seem a little...
And like, we did that to Joe Biden and that was wrong then too.
If you threaten me, my dogs will attack.
If you come in my area, you have to back up.
That's the respect.
So, they will bite, you'll have them bite me if I come into your area.
If you threaten me.
I said if you threaten her, the dogs will bite me.
Okay, so what threat, what threatening is happening?
This is threatening us?
Asking you a question and just coming near you as a Trump supporter is threatening?
She said, well, I'm not going to have them bite you, but if you threaten me, then they will bite you.
And I said, so what's threatening?
And she said this right now.
Oh, hi, are you part of this protest?
Hi.
Are you part of this protest?
Can I have a cracker?
Yeah, there's four of them in here.
That could be a little racial slur, right?
So, share them.
All right, I'll see if they want any.
Thank you.
All right.
I came here with a piece, a unity offering, crackers.
And they're crunchy, just like me.
I have a piece, would you have puppies like a piece offering?
No, they'll bite me there too.
You're an idiot.
I'm an idiot?
You have dangerous dogs.
Oh, someone's going to the cops.
See, that, the dog, the dog person, the dog whisperer.
Her mom is going to the cops right now.
Oh, they're getting out of their car.
I thought that police were fascists.
I thought silencing dissenters was fascism.
I thought the police and ICE were illegally arresting people, engaging in fascism.
I hope that he comes over here, to be honest.
Look at her hands.
I know you told the fascist cops on me.
What did they say?
Do you think your friends are doing a little bit of fear mongering?
My name is Caitlin Bennett.
I have a YouTube channel.
I'm just covering your guys'event here.
You don't have to do that.
That's okay.
He doesn't need you to do that.
No.
He's good.
No, I'm good.
want to talk to you though yeah yeah no that's fine but thank you can anyone tell me what fascism is I know it's a little bit different than that what do you think what was that what do you think about the protest what are we protesting they're they're protesting fascism oh okay that's good right yeah yeah what is what is fascism I th I I believe it's the idea of communism or alliance with the thoughts of communism.
Oh no, these people are not protesting communism.
Then I guess I have no thoughts.
But I appreciate your interview.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Thank you for your time.
Enjoy your bike ride.
He said you guys are protesting communism.
You guys wouldn't dare do that, would you?
You wouldn't protest communism, would you?
No, no, no, no, no.
You might get that paycheck at the end of your protest.
I think we're just gonna go down the line and we're gonna read their signs.
Quick sweep.
We're just reading everybody's signs.
Let's get their word out there for them.
Alright, we've got the typical ICE is deporting Jesus.
Jesus was not a human trafficker or a drug smuggler, so that's actually not not happening.
Your sign says defunding medical research is fascism.
His sign is about the arts.
Dehumanizing immigrants is fascism.
Where do we do that?
Robbing the poor to make the rich richer is fascism.
Normalizing abuse of power is fascism.
My goodness, who demanded that you get a shot in your body or you get fired?
Or not allowed to be in public or anything like that.
That's weird.
Illegal detention is fascism.
Ignoring due process is fascism.
I would love to talk about her because I've been learning a lot about due process for illegal immigrants in this country, and I think they are very misinformed.
I'd love to teach them a little bit about it.
Inciting violence is fascism.
Is that what that one says?
Inciting violence and hatred is fascism.
It's funny because it's kind of like they're holding up signs about themselves, and they're just telling on their like they're like, hey, I incite violence and I incite hatred, especially against this woman right here, and that's fascism.
Are they just holding up signs that describes why they're fascist?
I love that.
Her sign says sexism and intolerance of LGBTQ plus is fascism.
Her dogs will bite you, she said.
He's stepping on your dog's tail.
He just did, I saw him.
Don't let the dog bite you.
Protect!
Our democracy protect!
Oh democracy protect!
Democracy!

Aremocracy!

Her daughter's getting a little sassy over there.

That's fine.
What is fascism?
I always get paid.
Yeah, I know, I know, right?
So we're protesting fascism today.

The press.
Fascism.

It's fascism.
You're attacking the press.
Yeah.
We got a fascist right here.
He's attacking the press.
Why are you attacking my cameraman?
He's he's documenting this for me.
We're the press today.
What is fascism?
When you say this action.
Can you answer it?
You tell me.
You're the one with the sign, sir.
That's correct.
I'm the one with the sign.
Yeah.
You're the one who knows what fascism is.
You don't.
So I'm the one that knows what it is, and you're admitting you don't know what it is.
You're admitting you don't know what it is.
Tell me what fascism is.
Why are you holding a sign if you don't know what fascism is?
Tell me what fascism is.
You tell me what fascism is.
Why are you holding a sign?
Why are you asking me to give you definitions on the words on your sign?
Have you been to college?
Have you?
No.
Okay.
Is that why you don't know what fascism is?
But you've been to college.
You've been told what fascism is.
Did you learn that at college?
Did you learn it anywhere before you held that sign?
Fascism is at college.
Did you learn in high school?
I don't think they actually went in depth into fascism in high school.
Did you happen to Google it before you held a sign?
Jeez.
Okay.
And all them, maybe, you know, Mussolini.
Yeah.
Wait, they didn't teach you what fascism is.
I don't think they gave out good definitions.
What would be your definition?
If someone asked you like me here today, or like, oh, what is fascism?
I've never heard of that.
How is that fascism?
What is fascism?
What would you say to someone?
That's a good question.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Can you give me an answer?
Could you tell me what fascism is?
You're the one with more education than I have.
What is fascism?
That's the word that's an adjective or a noun, but what would you use?
Would you say pretend not to know?
I mean, you have yet to answer me about what fascism is.
I'm gonna make you go home and I'm gonna make you learn that today.
I'm not giving you the easy way out.
10 30 on the dot and they're leaving.
It's it's uh clock out time, right?
Let's go into the side inside the dollar general and uh clock out, guys.
10 30 on the dot.
On the dot.
You guys can only have an hour.
You guys only have an hour to dedicate to refusing fascism?
That's it.
One hour.
That's all you guys have?
Oh my goodness.
One hour.
You were only out here for 10 minutes.
That's got to go, hey, hey, ho, ho.
Yeah.
I mean why are they leaving right at 10 30?
Maybe they're punctual.
Oh my goodness, this is this is silly.
You can get on your phone.
I'll I'll give you a grace.
Go on your phone right now and Google what is fascism.
I'm fine, thank you.
Let me ask you this.
Do you agree with you know the idea of ice acting like fascist?
Is that was an example of someone acting like a fascist?
Uh which one's in particular.
Like the ice agents who are going in conducting the raids, the interior immigration enforcement.
That's what I'm talking about.
The people who the ice agents who work inside the interior of the United States who are rounding up all the people right now.
I mean, I don't know that ICE works out of a United States, correct?
They're inside the United States.
Correct.
Yeah.
That's their jurisdiction, correct?
Yeah.
So they're a lot of people here working somewhere else that I know of.
Right, yeah.
No, a lot of other countries that actually allow.
Okay, there he goes.
He's like, looking at him walking away.
He's like, bye guys.
Have a good day.
Fist bump.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
I'll find your name for next time.
Bye!
I do speaking with you.
You didn't really speak to me.
Well, it was a pleasure anyway.
Bye guys!
Alright, make sure you grab the paychecks on the way out.
They're gonna be right up there inside the Dollar General.
You guys get about 10 per hour.
These are some dedicated people.
I love it.
Thank you guys so much for going to Patreon.com slash Caitlin Bennett and supporting my security fund.
As you saw, I could have been whacked with a walker or bitten by one of their dogs today.
But my security here would never let that happen.
And the only way he can keep coming out here and being with me is if you go and help my security fund at patreon.com slash Caitlin Bennett.
Thank you guys for supporting me.
