Right, but in the case of the current US and the current administration, the term is accurate.
Fascism is a far-right (check) political ideology characterized by authoritarianism (check), extreme nationalism (check), and the suppression of opposition (check), often led by a dictatorial leader (check). It emphasizes the subordination of individual interests to the perceived good of the nation or race (check) and typically involves a centralized autocratic government (check).
you just say that because your not politically aligned with the current administration. you would support all of this if it was your side doing it and you would be a lot more rigid and forgiving in your definition of Fascists for them. for your political opponents a very broad definition of fascism. for the side you Aline with a very narrow rigid definition of fascism to be lot more forgiving.
calling people fascists is just a political game that most people eye roll at now. it has lost all its effect its politically meaningless the only thing it does now is show your a lefty or a communist. and people eye roll at that to.
I clearly and concisely supported my contention that the term “fascist” is appropriate to this administration.
You responded with a string of laughably false ad hominems, painfully transparent paychological projection and a pathetic attempt to just dismiss my argument out of hand. The one thing you did NOT respond with is even the faintest trace of intellectual integrity, so there’s no point in trying to pursue thecdebate any further.
Oh and… a thing that people like you seem to generally fail to grasp - you don’t really fool anyone. The lurkers can see what you’re doing just as clearly as I can.
I always think it’s so crazy when Republicans say crap like this. Democrats hate our leadership, just not as much as we hate your leadership. We absolutely would not follow any democratic leaders into the dark, we barely follow them in the light.
Do you have a definition of fascist you approve of, or would argue for? It’s absolutely true that some people throw around words as dismissal but that doesn’t mean we just all throw up our hands and say all words are meaningless.
Ultimately, the fight over ‘fascism’ is a fight to define ‘fascism.’ Having no definition is not a position to argue from. It’s ignorance. Arguing on behalf of ignorance is just noise. Even if no one else shares your definition, decide what it is, then argue for that.

It’s really sort of astonishing that every single thing you said here is wrong. And mostly misspelled to boot.

Well that seems silly. Care to explain what we should do?

Wow, the projection.
