Designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization

Beating people who think different than you is the pretty much facism. Just saying.

Fascism used to have a meaning. And that meaning used to be different from "violence towards those who think different".

But nowadays... It seems to be used by anyone who does not like a group. Like when people overuse the word narcissist to the point it just means "asshole as perceived by the observer".

Maybe look up what the ACLU did in Skokie in 1978...

>Beating people who think different than you is the pretty much facism.

No. Fascism is fascism.

I'd recommend reading Umberto Eco's "Ur-Fascism" if you are interested in learning.

Well when impressionable people get to define for themselves what a Nazi is (e.g. a car dealership for a company whose CEO we don’t like) and then firebomb it in the name of “punching the Nazis” then yeah I’m glad we’re trying to get past that.

I'm glad you came around to understanding what it is.

I'm not behaving like a kid, I just prefer if people don't whitewash what fascism means, like you did in your previous comment (but not in this one). Muddying the term only helps fascists, whether on purpose or inadvertently.

> If you going to punch people on the street don't complain when you and your friends are under a boot.

Please don't make such assumptions about me, and please don't wish me under a boot. That's rude.

Have a good day.

We are on schedule. People seem to need to get a reminder every few generations why authoritarians are terrible at running the country. Sometimes the process is peaceful. Sometimes it isn’t.

But the blame is not 100% on the authoritarians. The „we’ll refuse to do anything about your living conditions so you’ll radicalise and vote in somebody radical” is part of the cycle too.

It’s the grab bag for smears, nothing more.
