Holy fucking shit, our options are "Fascism" or "Not-fascism", sorry for finding only one of those actually acceptable?
It plays much worse in Lemmy than it does in real life, since in Lemmy there are always a seemingly endless number of commenters ready to throw a fit over the idea that preventing fascism is necessary.
Oh you're the guy who is pretending that fascist extremeism is a new phenomenon in the United States?
Look into the history of the Japanese Concentration camps. Or our modern-day legalized slavery system, as protected by the constitution.
No, I'm the guy who called you out for pretending that Trump is just "business as usual" and that your normalization of fascism was disgusting. You then descended into a series of non-sequiturs and tangents.
You're mad at me for saying the United States is fascist, you should be mad at the United States for being fascist.
What other word would you use to describe a country with legalized slavery and concentration camps?
