    Yeah, I get the feeling I’d be definitely be considered a fascists to you for sure. Word has been so misused for so long though It’s lost all meaning, so I’m cool with it.

      Or maybe don’t assume that people here aren’t as politically uneducated as the rest of the people you interact with on social media.

      I’ve been personally using Eco’s term “ur-fascism” or nascent fascism until recently. Read the essay, it’s only like 9 pages, and tell me it doesn’t describe recent US history.

      However now we are past that point, and we’ve gone full on fascist.

      I’d love for you to explain to me why I’m wrong though.
