Is MAGA or right conservatism more of a threat than tankies?
To me, personally? MAGA is more of a threat. To many elsewhere in the world, tankies are the greater threat. Unless you'd like to go talk to some folk in concentration camps in Xinjiang and tell them that their real threat is American right-wingers.
Nazis are worse than tankies, but not for lack of trying by tankies.
From a utilitarianist perspective, American right-wingers are a bigger threat. If they take over, they have an $860 billion military to unleash on the world. The way I’m interpreting this; you’re a closet conservative who thinks he’s a liberal. Yo hate communism more than fascism. Am I correct?
"To unleash on the world"
Tell me you have a surface level understanding of world politics without saying you have a surface level understanding of world politics.
I already literally said the opposite
Are you even pretending to argue in good faith at this point? If you are, it's not very convincing.
I try to always argue in good faith. But I tire of arguing with liberals/ conservatives with recursive arguments. There is no logic. If there is, you fail to make me understand it. Is this WhatIfAltHist?
"I try to argue in good faith", they say in response to being called out for literally ignoring the fact that I already answered that fascists were worse than tankies, and disingenuously asserting the opposite with a leading question.
We're done here.
Okay, you said that fascist are worse than tankies. I didn’t mean to offend you. I have a dentist appt. tomorrow and I’m on edge. You never answered what is better than a planned economy?
