I was specifically talking about how you defined fascism in your post. That’s why I quoted it directly.
You posted criteria for what constitutes fascism. And the current US administration ticks all of your boxes.
Does it? Did it also tick all those boxes in 2016, when you were all calling everyone a nazi and cunt? You know, why you could actually have talked to them and convinced them of your argument before you made this all so much worse?
Maybe try reading ALL of what I said, and not skimming it just so you can try to win something here.
Yes. We can go through your list, if you want?
I’m not really sure who you’re addressing here.
Perhaps, you should read it again then. And then again. And then keep on reading, until you figure it out. Its not rocket science. I didnt make it cryptic. I said it in plain English. And every single time you reply, feigning ignorance, you only prove the point of my original comment more. Every downvote, every attempted character assassination, every "who, me?".
I know I can only expect yet another round of "I dont know what you mean!", so Ill simply end by saying: Enjoy the nightmare of your own making. You have earned it. Take care.
Can you quote me calling anybody a Nazi or a cunt? Can you explain how anything to do with Trump is of my own making, given that I’ve never once so much as set foot in the United States?
You seem to want to rant at a general “you”. That’s valid, but the format you’ve chosen is directly addressing a specific human being. And now you’re doubling down as if I’m being dishonest by not being the imaginary version of me that only ever existed in your head?
You can pretend you know me better than I know myself if you choose to, despite seemingly not even knowing basics like what my nationality is, but I’m not really sure what you think either of us are going to gain by that.
I wasn’t kidding about going through your definition of fascism one aspect at a time and talking about how the current US administration fits it completely. That’s if you’re interested in actual conversation rather than just aimlessly shouting at the world.
You profess to think that talking to people is better than name-calling. Is that true, or is it just something you say in order to have a stick to beat people with?
Read, or dont. Its up to you. I can lead you to water, but I cant make you drink. If you want to be wilfully obtuse, you go right ahead. But you can leave me out of it.
Just a stick you use to beat people with it is, then. Shame.
Whatever shit you need to tell yourself to get through the day.
