It is nostalgia for movie era that never really was. By cherry picking old movies and seeing in them what you want to see. Which is something different then trying to analyse actual past production as it actually was.

It is seeing decadence in contrast to past heavenly era, because you want it to be like that.



Okay, you can have a problem with people glorifying the old days. But that still has nothing to do with fascism. My above question has yet to be answered.


Your question is meaningless, because the comment you answered to did not claimed nostalgia is fascist.

He said, youtube algorithm is giving him vaguely fascist content.Bringing up "Birth of Nation" in literally second paragraph.

And I did not said anything about glorifying past, I said the narrative lies about the past.

In OP's post:

> Is the Youtube algorithm directing people to make vaguely fascist feeling, "bring back the good old days"

So yeah, no. The OP here used the word fascist in reference to the idea of "bring back the good old days".


In referencie to that and butcher of other things. So, no.
