    People need to understand those 10 points that are characteristic of Fascism.

    Comically, Fascism was invented by a Black man, an African, named Marcus Garvey, and Mussolini stole it from him, then Hitler from him, to the best of my knowledge…

    You’re doing the dangerous thing: identifying fascism where Americans have been taught it’s clearly not possible because it’s “our team.”

    You’re right, of course.

      I mean, a good chunk of things are things I don’t like because they are fascist. For example: ethno states intent on committing genocide. Or attempts to conflate disdain for a state and its settler colonialism, as disdain for an entire people, which I suppose is fascist in and of itself.

      Or are you saying that you have such a refined pallet for preferences that you like everything except things that are fascist?

            Ok, so it’s not “everything I don’t like is fascist”, but it’s “everything I don’t like is either fascist or a colonizer”. Got it. Makes way more sense that way. Mb try to actually have good arguments besides that is exactly what [group I don’t like] would say.
