Who cares? Its tyranny.
Tyranny is left-wing.
Dont be a dumbfuck. Be on the right. Be on the side of freedom and individuality.

We have a big problem with definitions in America.

People use "fascist" and have no idea what it means, ditto with "conservative." Heck, half the posters here who ID as "conservative" have no idea what it means...

Sure we do. But because you tend to be out of whack and way off the deep end, anyone who doesn’t share your views is seen, by you, as not being “conservative.”

Now back to the definition of “fascism.” It has very little fixed meaning. And damn few of our libs grasp it’s true meaning which — if admitted by them — would force them to stop making their false claims about President Trump

Wow, would that ruin their day, or what?!

Fascism is a far-right, ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, a centralized autocracy, militarism, the forcible suppression of opposition, and a belief in a natural social hierarchy, often centered on a perceived national decline or victimhood. Key elements include a cult of personality around an infallible leader, the promotion of lies and myth to question reality, scapegoating of "enemies," glorification of violence, control of media, and the intertwining of religion and government.

Lots of good stuff there to address.

Core point, IMO, question. What if there really is a REAL, national decline or victimhood?

I mean, that is possible right? Nations DO decline, or get fucked.

SO, The possiblity of the perception being correct, has to be dealt with.

I really don't think that the "far right" label is appropriate....it can be a far Left one as well...but its Google's Gemeni....and it has been admittedly programmed to lie.

Fascism is what Americans went through during Covid. The schools were shut down, businesses were forced to shut down, travel was restricted and people were sometimes forced to submit to an injection of a hastily prepared sometimes dangerous drug. The question is whether fascism is OK if the government says it's for your own good.

This word is supposed to insult Republican leaders. But why do Democrats use it. When they are not able to define it? So, this video defines it for all here. IT is true, Trump is not a fascist at all.

Well, let the true fascist yell this is from, Prager.

Most anyone who is not raving far leftist. Anyone disagreeing with the left wing agenda.

Fascism is an authoritarian, hyper-nationalist system led by an individual dictatorial figure, merging government and corporate interests.

Mussolini is the known Fascist of history, and he served the Italian king.

That has been debunked. Mussolini for instance served the king of Italy. Mussolini was fired by the king who put an end to Italy being at war.

Which part exactly?
Sounds like you are onto something and I'm interested to hear....

It's Google's AI Gemeni that will lie to protect its agenda....

So I'm not doubting you know something....I just wanna know what it is.

Debunked is fascism is right wing. Debunked is Trump is a fascist. Debunked is the thug Mussolini had total power. His king could control him. Mussolini could not fire the king. The king fired Mussolini.

The Dead Right's Reincarnation

Fascists are Far Right. Rightists don't want to admit there is such an ideological offshoot. That reveals they want us to let them go there.

I had my doubts it was "right wing" or anything like that.

Now ultra nationalist and racist? I can see that from what I remember. Purity of race? Okay....can go along with that.

The violent opposition to anyone or anything that disagrees with anything coming from "approved" sources? That's Democrat Party politics 101.

Fascism is defined as "what NAZI Germany did as policy"

There is a huge effort to re-write that to make it less damning of the left. If you polled ANTIFA and asked "do fascists support gun rights?" more than half would answer yes...
