Fascism is the expansion of the state, anti-small-government.

Again, you don't know what you're talking about.

Propaganda isn't something that only happens to poor brown people in 3rd world countries. Its foolish to think that the people who do this overseas would never do it to you.

Doubling down on this when you're wrong is like someone in an abusive relationship that keeps running back and defending their abuser.

Centralizing power and removing obstructions yet being against censorship and wanting to arm the public?

Again, its incompatible with your warped view and understanding b/c you've heard the word again and again that has no meaning.



"A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism"

Straight from the dictionary, I'm going to stand by my words here.


Which doesn't apply to the current administration, just fantasyland.

A small government regime, that wants to arm the public, is against censorship, wants to de-regulate industries, pro-capitalist, etc.. is not compatible with fascism.

How the hell is your fantasy a reality when you're literally wanting to arm the public and expand free speech?

The last guy wanted to get people fired from their jobs over an experimental jab (Nuremberg trials, anybody?), while his supporters were in favor of taking their kids and imprisoning parents into camps - expanding the government, increasing regulations, and literally forming a Ministry of Truth (DHS Disinformation Governance Board).

We've normalized bad behavior (ie: immigration law, Disinformation Governance Board, etc..) in this country for years and ignore laws governing that, so when we have to correct that behavior people tend to forget how we got here. I saw more systemic racism and discrimination under Obama & Biden than I have under Trump or Bush. I saw race and antisemitism heavily weaponized to divide and conquer under liberal administrations more than I ever have under centrist or right leaning administrations.

Its not fascism. Its just fools cherry picking things to live out some weird good guy/bad guy fantasy of theirs.

If this were a tech document, I'm sure the understanding would be far greater - but somehow that type of thinking and understanding goes out the window when it comes to this.
