Seems like there's a whole lotta fascists on this internet.

>>pfkurt+kb1
...where "fascist" is defined as: "anyone who disagrees with me".

>>koheri+Bb1
Nope. Where it's defined as people enacting or cheering right wing authoritarian destruction of democratic society.

Like the supporters of Donald Trump.

Feel free to keep putting those goal posts wherever you feel like today.

I have no idea what this is even supposed to mean. But that's what fascism is — right wing authoritarianism built around a leader cult merging racist populists with a corporate elite, directing state violence at marginalized/demonized groups. Which is what Trumpism is.

There's a political illiteracy in our politics (I'm including Canada, but more prevalent in the US it seems) that says fascism is hitler himself and the swastika and nothing else.

Which makes their confidence in their literacy so bizarre. koheripbal's reaction to the uncontroversial observation is to first convince himself that it must be wrong and then project a specific and fantastical reason to explain why we have observed it. He really thinks he has figured something out.
