Have the words FASCIST and FASCISM been rendered meaningless?

[Concerned American]

With some discussions one should be of the capacity to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time...

And understand English. You clearly need to work on that. I tried to help you by providing you with THE definition of the word you're bandying about, but alas, I can't fix stupid. Read.

Hey, whatever helps you sleep better...

I don't know. I don't believe that. Why do you think the people with the yard sign

Logic eludes you

The latest rounds of assassinations/attempts

SO, no answer. As I said, best not to think about it.

Hey, whatever helps you sleep better...

The education system failed you. Your parents should ask for a refund.

Keep my parents out of your mouth, ************.

But as I said...whatever helps you sleep better.

Anyway. I'll give you last word, since you seem to be one of those types who need it, observably...

Yeah you got an answer. You don't want to accept it.

If you believe someone is a "Nazi/ fascist" the logical conclusion is to invite them over for a barbecue. Of course you would have done that if you lived in Germany 1940

Educate yourself, little girl. I didn't say a word about your parents. If you think differently, REPORT IT. Simple. I would suggest a better option would be to take a reading comprehension class, clearly you can't comprehend English.
Now run your triggered butt down the road. Do you speak to your parents with that vulgar mouth? As I said previously, I can't fix stupid.

Good point but it ain't about the words. It's 's more about the lack of education fostered on idiots who are more likely to blame the United States than reason

These inflammatory words are tossed around casually by people who clearly don't know what they mean. The words carry a lot of weight as we all know now that Robinson wrote HEY FASCIST! CATCH! on one of his bullet casings. So given that, should FASCIST and FASCISM be banned words on USMB? Remember that "******" is already a banned word. What do you think?

I believe Benito Mussolini & his Black Shirts coined the word fascist not long after(?) WW1 ended. I know that the word "Fascist" was in use before Mussolini assumed power in Italy during 1922, so the word fascist most likely was a creation of Benito Mussolini. Banning words is a lot like banning books like once started "banning" becomes addictive to the power & control mongers. Fascism, marxism, national socialism & communalism are just different words used for describing totalitarianism.

It's not actually banning. They just blank out part of the word like the "N" word becomes N****** so Fascist becomes F******.

"Who doesn't want to shoot a fascist?"
This is what you get with leftist indoctrination

I think if you keep posting that word or try to sidestep the word by posting variations, you'll get a "vacation" probably permanently. Am I wrong?

Based on what I see here on a daily basis, I think you are.

I'm a "n*****"?
That's petty (and bizarre)
You've been drinking, haven't you?

Yeah, why do we never hear the inflammatory words like communist, Marxist, socialist, Democrat...?

Have you not read the rules here? Or are you just looking to insult?

My statement you quoted was 100% accurate,

Such offenses will receive a first time warning and a second offense will result in an extended, if not permanent, ban

 

[Moonglow]

You should put up a sign that says " We're ending Fascism one talk show host at a time".
