    Oh, I never said I’d refuse a definition of fascism

    No no, you’re faaaaaar tooooo smaaaaart to commit to an actual definition, or even general framework of what fascism is. Despite this, you still expect other people to defend against your internally checked, rapidly shifting goalpost of what qualifies as “fascism”. Put your money where your mouth is, you trollish coward, define, even in loose terms, what fascism is, so that we may actually discuss it. If you can’t do that, then you’re not actually making any points here, you’re just swimming circles in a pool of your own bullshit.

    Because going all the way takes us back to caveman society.

    My assertion here is that there has not been a perfect, equitable society in human history. This is why I’d rather work to fix the society we have, than throw out the everything and live without society, yah know, because I like the things society brings, like running water, electricity, flushing toilets, refrigeration, videogames… You’d get the idea of your head wasn’t up your ass. The evidence I’ll provide for this claim, is that there has not been a completely just society in human history. If you’d like to refute this claim, you can simply name one. But you can’t, because you are wrong, so you won’t, and instead you’ll dilly-dally and dance around while hurling labels that you don’t understand at people while implicitly arguing that words don’t have a real meaning.

      or even general framework of what fascism is.

      Oh… now we’re no longer talking about “definitions,” are we? We have now shifted to “general frameworks?”

      And you accuse me of shifting goalposts?

      Despite this, you still expect other people

      Yes, liberal - I still expect you to defend your ideology and your ideology’s proximity to fascism.

      so that we may actually discuss it.

      We are discussing it, liberal - which part of this…

      They (liberals) are anxious to ignore the fact that fascism originates from the very violence that is used to enforce the liberal order.

      …are you having a hard time understanding? We are discussing the very roots of fascism - which happens to be the very same roots of your precious liberal status quo.

      Are you anxious to ignore that too, liberal? For someone that claims to not be “constrained to the ideological boundaries” of liberalism, you sure seem to be acting no different than a bog-standard liberal pearl-clutcher when it comes to confronting the fascism that violently enforces your precious status quo for you.

      Do tell, liberal… where were you when antifascists were actually fighting neo-nazis, klan-boys and their pig-friends in the streets a few years ago? Let me guess… heckling the antifascists from the sidelines? Like a good liberal is supposed to?

      Will you be doing the same come November?

      My assertion here is that there has not been a perfect, equitable society in human history.

      Why are you peddling the same pretexts and justifications for fascism that the alt-right peddles?

      The ideological gap between you and fascism seems to be shrinking with every exchange.

      than throw out the everything and live without society

      Soooo… as you have provided zero evidence to prove that your zombie-fiction tropes will come to pass as soon as fascist violence doesn’t enforce your precious liberal order for you, I must assume that you are simply too squeamish to admit your endorsement of said fascist violence (as long as it isn’t aimed at you, of course)

      I’d say we’ve come to the point where there is only one thing left to be discerned… why do you even bother hiding it?

        Yes, because you have refused in any way to communicate a meaning of the word. That’s on you, not me. Literally your doing, and it’s the core premise of 90% of your statements, but you can’t even tell us what means.

          Do tell… just how far down the liberal-to-fascist pipeline are you?

            Can’t really tell you. Since you have consistently demonstrated a complete lack of awareness of what either of those words mean.

              Oh, that I have to concede. I don’t even think you’d be able to tell.

                Kindly fuck off. You can’t even address the core component of our original discussion. I’m throwing the final gauntlet here. You name a time, place, or system of government that was fair and equitable in the last 8000 years, and I’ll write an apology to you, admit you are far superior, and delete everything except that statement from my account . If you can’t do that, then don’t even bother fucking replying. I’m just going to copy-paste a reply calling you a moron and pointing out that you have failed again to rise to the most basic level of honest discourse.

                  the core component of our original discussion.

                  Stop projecting your evasiveness onto me, liberal - you’ve been desperately ducking and diving the “core component of our original discussion” from your second reply onwards.

                  You name a time, place, or system of government

                  Your attempts to distract from the fact that you have provided zero evidence to back up your initial claims is as transparent now as it was back then.

                  and delete everything except that statement from my account .

                  Please feel free. Now that lemmy.world is overflowing with liberals there are mountains of evidence lying around proving how quickly you lot start chanting fascist narratives as soon as anyone threatens your precious status quo - your contribution makes absolutely no difference whatsoever.

                    You are a moron and a coward. You won’t even try to defend your statements. The only way you know to react to conflict is to hurl meritless accusation of fascism. By your own admission, you cannot describe what fascism actually is. You can fuck off anytime.
