they do if you delude the meaning of what a Fascists is. in that way we can all be Fascists because it does not mean anything anymore. and who do you think that helps. that’s what happens when you play with the meaning of words they become meaningless.
if you mean in current day people i disagree with .that is what it means now. the real meaning is fucked now because lefty commie fucks have been trowing that word around like candy. its the definition of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
That is not what I asked. You’re saying it’s being used incorrectly, which means you have a definition in mind which isn’t being met. What is that definition?
“Although fascist parties and movements differed significantly from one another, they had many characteristics in common, including extreme militaristic nationalism, contempt for electoral democracy and political and cultural liberalism, a belief in natural social hierarchy and the rule of elites, and the desire to create a Volksgemeinschaft (German: “people’s community”), in which individual interests would be subordinated to the good of the nation.”
Or maybe the Webster’s Dictionary definition?
"a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition”
Because by those definitions “fascism” is not being used incorrectly.
If you have an alternate definition which supports your claim, you’ll need to provide it yourself.
ah yes just re-post the Dictionary and your all done. that’s the definition and now you have to apply it and make it seem its just that simple its not about the definition its how you use the definition and if you can really call someone a fascist because you disagree with them. its used as insult not because anybody believes in fascism. its used as a synonym for bad thing when it has a specific definition. just like the dude who said he spotted the Nazi just because he did not like my reply. it has nothing to do with what Nazi actually means the same with fascism. so just re-posting the Dictionary is meaningless it has nothing to do with that. its just labeling someone because you disagree with what they say and then just call them something bad for effect and that effect means nothing anymore because its overused and over done.
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.
you clearly come from reddit. your argument was just re-post the dictionary and just say check. and you seem to really like to sniff your own farts. dude i just use my account just like you. you are supposed to see what im doing its a public site.fool anyone when you can see everything are you becoming a conspiracy theorist now. you seem to take the internet very seriously i don’t. maybe try to have more fun and not to be up your own ass so much.
Did you not see Musk do a fucking Sieg Heil on live TV last week and go on tour to shake hands with his fellow NeoNazis in Germany??
Have you missed the part where Trump said he fully planned on being a dictator? How about the 900-page manual where his lackeys described in detail how to do it?
musk is a used car sales men and a big bullshitter. i also do not care about the salute its something stupid done by a stupid person all the attention is what gives it power it should be mocked and not taken seriously. i do not like the AFD they got into power because of stupid people like merkel calling them Neo Nazis is not very helpful it just gives them more power then they deserve.
this was to fight real fascism not just the people you don’t like.
Which is exactly why it’s relevant today.
Fascists don’t magically stop being fascists just because you happen to hate the same people they do.
they do if you delude the meaning of what a Fascists is. in that way we can all be Fascists because it does not mean anything anymore. and who do you think that helps. that’s what happens when you play with the meaning of words they become meaningless.
What do you think “fascism” means?
if you mean in current day people i disagree with .that is what it means now. the real meaning is fucked now because lefty commie fucks have been trowing that word around like candy. its the definition of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.
That is not what I asked. You’re saying it’s being used incorrectly, which means you have a definition in mind which isn’t being met. What is that definition?
the definition of fascism.
The Encyclopaedia Britannica definition?
Or maybe the Webster’s Dictionary definition?
Because by those definitions “fascism” is not being used incorrectly.

It’s really sort of astonishing that every single thing you said here is wrong. And mostly misspelled to boot.
are you going to correct me? if not nobody cares.

It’s scary how many signs there are in this current administration. And they’re not even hiding it.
