    Everyone just wants to ban content they don’t like.

    How about you all mind your own business, fuck off, and let me watch what I want?

    Fascism coming at me from both sides.

      Thank God, an enlightened centrist! What knowledge can you throw down to us critically engaged peasants from the top of the horseshoe??? We’re so hungry as a result of communism or something

          Praise Rand. So wise.

          Actually, as a fun little aside, can you explain to me what you think Fascism is?

            Authoritarianism. You know little things like banning foreign media. Especially under the guise it’s for safety and your own good.

              Saying that authoritarianism equals fascism is like saying that team sports equal football 🤦

              Fascism is specifically an extreme right wing authoritarian ideology. Conservative communism (as in USSR type tankie stuff) is an authoritarian mess but it is by definition distinct from fascism.

              And yeah, I fully expect that you’re going to demonstrate the apparent reading comprehension of a 5yo child in any forthcoming reply, but figured I’d let anyone who’s confused about the difference and NOT arguing in bad faith know.

                  the us has two right wing parties

                  Absolutely correct.

                  it’s fascism

                  Right about one of them, wrong about the other.

                  Not everything that’s authoritarian and awful is fascism and pretending that it is like some deranged Alex Jones fan waters down the word to the point that we can’t properly fight ACTUAL fascism and some don’t think it even exists.

                  Words matter. If enough people use them wrong, it makes it much harder to pinpoint what fascism is and why it’s more important to eradicate than the also awful but nowhere near as bad neoliberalism.
