...where "fascist" is defined as: "anyone who disagrees with me".

That this comment is still up five days later, and amidst the current news, is a shocking failure by the mods.

What an embarrassment.

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.

    EDIT: Oh look, downvote brigade has arrived.
