Have you heard of the term "bad faith argument"? That's a good example.

I had to check this one. I found two stories. [1] shows that people were warned about speech (e.g. using the term cisgender) but were still able to post without problems. [2] showed that X's rules were updated to prevent harassment in the form of deadnaming or misgendering. I doubt that either supports your assertion to be true.

As to the rest of your answers, you seem to have given away that you didn't read the Britannica article at all:

> - Education as character building

You should know, right? You read the article and made the accusation. You've done this several times:

> - The leadership principle

> idk what this is

> - The “new man”

> or this

There's not really a need for me to be pedantic in the face of such slipshod work, but then again, perhaps you think that not being slipshod is being pedantic. Which would also be wrong, but telling.

Try learning about what fascism is, that would be my suggestion. With a book, while putting your phone away.

    pretty much exactly what i expected, you ignored all the YESs and called me dumb and made a ton of assumptions. You dont have to fit a definition 100% you're going to hang on to all the tiny little details and say wholey that he's not a fascists. I think he hit's the major point of the definition. Pedantic bootlicker. The reason I didn't pick up a book at your request is because I'm not wasting my time with you. And, no I didn't read the article, you did and linked it. I only read the definition.
