It's because of the basic psychologies of fascism and communism.

Fascism is a disgust spiral, whose basic commandment is "thou shalt not be worse than me." It starts out with anti-smoking campaigns and burning child pornography, and ends up disappearing anyone who doesn't mow his lawn.

Communism is an envy spiral, whose basic commandment is "thou shalt not be better than me." It starts out targeting captains of industry and genius intellectuals, and ends up disappearing anyone who wears glasses, which create the suspicion that he might have read a book once.

This is why people with communist psychology (the left) equate clean streets with fascism.

Leftists can't keep their streets clean and their lawns mowed, but instead of the psychologically healthy response of being slightly embarrassed and resolving to do better, they decide that anyone in a nice neighborhood is a fascist who needs to be exposed and purged.

You, oh right-wing conservative, watching this video clip, think that leftists are accidentally pointing out the benefits of fascism.... i.e. that people can have nice things.

But if you understood communist psychology, really understood it, you would realize that the mowed lawns, clean streets, and neatly-groomed people are actually another accusation.

Not only are they racists, complains the narrative, they have nicer houses and neighborhoods than you. How dare they?

How dare they not be surrounded by trash and graffiti?

How dare they not be awoken at 3 AM by their drunk neighbors blasting loud music?

Who do they think they are, some sort of superior race?

You don't notice that accusation because you are not the target audience. The target audience is people prone to destructive envy, and the goal is to recruit them to communism.

They don't care if you think this points out the benefits of fascism, or even just the benefits of racism. Because you are not prone to destructive envy, so they can never recruit you anyway.

And it makes no difference if you point out that the end result of this is that every neighborhood is covered in trash and graffiti.

That's what commies want.

Why? Because their neighborhoods are always going to be messed up no matter what ideology is in control. Fascism, communism, liberalism, objectivism, doesn't matter. They are not disciplined enough to do battle with entropy through sustained effort, and not creative or intelligent enough to do battle with entropy through innovation.

But if their house is inevitably going to be surrounded by mountains of trash, just because of who they are, then the greatest comfort they can aspire to is a world where your house is surrounded by trash, too.

This is why communism ruins everything, and why communists cannot be dissuaded when you point this out. Ruining everything for anyone who's better off is what they want.

The trick is to get them to realize that communism allows anyone who is even worse off than they to ruin whatever they still have. Which isn't easy, because if they were smart enough to easily understand this, they wouldn't be surrounded by trash in the first place.

@ItIsHoeMath @DankPepe2035 @VoeDooDoll Question can be improved by wording: "sarah and jon ARE talking about"not were. The conversation being present tense combined with steve not being there eliminates the possibility of steve finding out secondhand until later, thus eliminating questions of "what if steve found out"

@Pajtim90 @hashjenni We need three basic needs first. Food, water, shelter. Never has it been so hard to have a home, a place to call your own, a roof over your head. That should come before children, and right now, it's almost impossible.

@LHissrich The witcher is a franchise with a huge loyal following because of how well written the characters are so of course people will be upset if you change them to much. I'm surprised that you didn't expect the backlash against changes like killing Eskel and having Yennefer betray Ciri
