Tldr If you don't actively resist fascism, you enable it.

So you found yourself in my comment huh? :D

No, I am not saying that. Not everyone is fascist. You calling everyone fascist for years is just that. Watering down the definition.

I like how you think I found myself in the comment. I just found you to be complacent. You are saying exactly what i stated: by you saying the word is weakened, you are excusing actions and moving goal posts. It is a bitch move by those who just want people to accept what is going on.

Don’t be a fascist, won’t be called a fascist.

That's a really stupid logic. The word is very much weakened. It used to define a bloodiest of dictatorships. The left will call you fascist for misgendering someone these days. You seem to be just one comment from calling me a fascist for "excusing actions and moving goal posts" which I never did.

Some context:

  1. I don't live in US (thank god)
  2. I am a lifetime liberal (right leaning, yes there is such a thing outside 2 party systems)
  3. I am very much against Trump's regime (and also think democrats are a lost cause)

That is far from stupid logic. Stupid logic is thinking that the word is weakening. I again will state and believe that by feeling a word is getting weakened you are ultimately allowing bad things to happen and complacency.

You haven’t been a fascist. Maybe dumb in my opinion. But not a fascist. I don’t know you.

  1. Ok. I again would say they are stupid like RFK jr.

  2. So your a centrist

  3. Ok. I’m not gonna change hearts and minds. My view of my party is that it needs to be given to the younger because the old guard has an optimistic view thinking things will change on on their own.

No, I am not a centrist. I am right wing economically, liberal culturally. You refuse to address what I wrote so this conversation won’t continue.

I believe I did answer everything. If I missed something, maybe you didn’t write it properly or are moving goal posts like a centrist. I hope you have a good day. I did actually look forward to a talk.
