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.

  • There's a political illiteracy in our politics (I'm including Canada, but more prevalent in the US it seems) that says fascism is hitler himself and the swastika and nothing else.

    • Which makes their confidence in their literacy so bizarre. koheripbal's reaction to the uncontroversial observation is to first convince himself that it must be wrong and then project a specific and fantastical reason to explain why we have observed it. He really thinks he has figured something out.
