He wrote a book on fascism.

The logic is not sound. The entire "logic" is based on wanting something to be fascism, so calling it fascism, and then using that same terrible "logic" to classify tens of millions of people as a nazi based on nothing other than wanting to call them nazis.

I guess I'll keep waiting for those actual examples that meet the definition of fascism, right? Surely you're going to list them, right?

Twitter being rebranded to X is pretty big news in the world of tech.

Is it? It doesn't change anything.

Are there still people denying that twitter/facebook/etc weren't instructed to censor certain stories leading up to the last US election (hunter laptop), while leaving and even promoting actual misinformation (russia)?

What “fascism” are people asking for? Actual examples that meet the definition of fascism please.

In your link, what criteria does "MAGA" meet? (I'll humour you and overlook the fact that "MAGA" is literally just a catchphrase for returning america to being "the (self proclaimed) greatest country on earth").

America has a 2 party system. Democrats and republicans. If you don't like the democrats and their policies and handling of the country, you vote republican. That doesn't mean you're a Nazi, and anyone suggesting it does is just telling people to ignore them and their crazy opinions.

Your logic is "I declare trump a fascist, therefore anyone that votes for him is a nazi". That's terrible, terrible, idiotic logic.

Also not really sure who declared Umberto Eco the expert on Fascism.

No one is suggesting or calling for a genocide. It’s not happening. It’s not going to happen. You’re just fear mongering to try and paint people you don’t like as Nazis.

I swear some of you want an actual genocide so you can go “see I told you!!!”

You not knowing doesn’t mean it already wasn’t a Facebook device. They bought oculus 4 years earlier.

That’s taken completely out of context and you know it.

It’s not calling for trans people to be eradicated, it’s calling for the current trans ideologies, where if you’re a girl who likes trucks you must be trans and therefore must be rushed on to puberty blockers and get your breast removed, to be eradicated.

No one is calling for trans people to be eradicated as in “killed”. That’s what Nazis did - they literally killed people by the millions.

Missed it by this much.

The point was that the government literally used social media sites to censor information that they didn't like. These sites (and news networks) were made to report that it was made up, misinformation, didn't exist, a far right conspiracy theory. Turns out it was very real.

Don't worry, I've provided him with a study so we'll see if he responds. Here it is again for him to see:

Round 21

 

Somehow Manly have managed to get Matt Lodge, a first grade regular over the last 5 years who was on a $600k a year contract, on a $1000 train and trial contract for the rest of the year.

Hopefully the NRL steps in a puts a stop to this clear abuse of the salary cap.

 

Another week another horrible referee blunder costing a team a win. Especially harsh since the Titans were beaten the previous week from giving away a penalty in this exact same scenario.

 

Here we go!!!!!

 

Game 3 is upon us! Who do you predict will win? Where will Gutho end up playing? Will Cook get dropped as rumoured? Will Queensland achieve the rare whitewash? What other insane decisions will Freddy make in his (presumedly) last game as coach?
