a modern nation state with a mechanized military

This describes nearly every country that has ever existed, so how does the term have any meaning if you're right about this definition of fascism?

it seems that you are content to tolerate the fascist state so long as someone you can’t identify as politically fascist controls it. i am not.

... this is a conversation about policy difference. Somehow by saying "actually there's a large difference" when there obviously is, means I have no issue with fascism? Nevermind that that would be an entirely separate topic that we only touched on because you brought it up apropos of nothing. I mean, that's just brain dead. Your official position:

"closing all the borders and eliminating all healthcare programs is literally the exact same as mostly maintaining the status quo then slowly adding improvements here and there. just like how boiling water is identical to lukewarm water."

I often wonder like what deluded thought process gets you from just going around saying smoothbrain bullshit like this and the perfect communist utopia you imagine? Are you actively eating lead every day or something? I don't even know how I'd turn my brain off like that if I wanted to.

if you're willing to vote for joe biden, knowing his policies up to this point, then you are willing to vote for fascism.
