    i havent seen this myself

    Feel free to take a look.

    https://lemmy.world/u/aidan

    There’s also claiming Hunter Biden’s cocaine was found in the White House, and pretend ignorance that christofascism is even a thing, and just in general defending anything shitty republican do or say.

    There’s lots of other /politics on Lemmy tho, so it’s not as bad as when this happened on reddit. Plenty of options besides this one.

      That sort of duplicity is not something anyone should want in a mod. I’ve seen mods on reddit pretend that a guy literally spouting nazi slogans was just fine because he translated them into English first.

        Hate speech, slurs, and abusive language are banned under rule 6. I’m not intending to set any rules, but I will enforce them.

          I suppose we’ll see how that shakes out in reality. You’re already aware that I and others have doubts.

            It’s good to be skeptical of anyone who could censor important and controversial topics.

      Do you have one in particular you recommend? This one feels like it’s going downhill the past two days.

      No. I said that is the argument of some republicans.

      and pretend ignorance that christofascism is even a thing

      No, I was wondering how the user I was replying to defined it- because from online discussions I’ve been on in the past everyone defines fascism differently.

        Well, now’s your chance to set the record straight and clear things up by confronting the issues directly:

        Is it your belief that Hunter Biden’s cocaine was found in the White House?

        Is christofascism a thing?

          Is it your belief that Hunter Biden’s cocaine was found in the White House?

          No probably not, I haven’t looked into it too much- but I saw people on here saying it was in the tourist area.

          Is christofascism a thing?

          Fascism can enforce an interpretation of Christianity- yes.

            Do you believe that christofascist ideology holds influence in American politics?

              I think nearly every ideology has some influence in American politics, as for significant influence not really(anymore, historically yes). I do think there is significant influence from Christian moralists but not exactly fascists.

                You don’t do direct answers, do you?

                  Life has nuance. I’m not going to give a matter-of-fact answer if I’m not 100% certain, I will acknowledge nuances.
