I can “define my terms” for you, but would that really change anything?
why are fascists so unwilling to just define their terms? do you know your terms are explicitly fascist, or have you just never examined the terms some youtubers or whatever handed to you?
“positions that do not allow for competing information” is just hand-waving, you didn’t define shit and you know it
I won’t answer any questions until you answer my simple one. I’m a communist, I’m not afraid to define what I believe in because it’s not horrible, disgusting shit. Fascists have trouble with this because they know their beliefs are repugnant, irrational trash.
My point was just that someone who has a more right leaning opinion is not the same as the cretin in the OP.
So what? A conservative is not the same as a fascist? What real fucking difference does that separation make? Both are cretins with abhorrent views at the end of the day. Are you a conservative?
Having a lean on a particular opinion at an individual level doesn’t mean shit. That’s nuance for you.
The comment I replied to implied they felt bad for having any right leaning opinion at all simply because of other people with right leaning opinions being more extreme. I merely said it didn’t make them the same. Maybe the person will reconsider their positions after seeing the true nature of the conservative party. Maybe they have been blind to it.
I don’t really know. It was just a one-off comment.
Saying that someone with “right leaning opinions” and an outright ideologically committed fascist are “not the same” is a redundant comment due to both categorically being different positions in the sphere of right wing thought. Both positions are delusional, and the former should be at least slightly embarrassed for choosing to occupy the same ignorant, anti-human ideological tendency as the latter in any capacity, especially in the context of this post. There is absolutely no nuance, when a person actively recognizes that they “lean” rightwards ideologically on any issue, other than the nuance of their individual opinions inevitably changing as time progresses.
You aren’t on anymore, and running any form of asinine one-off apologetics for right wing positions will rightfully get you flamed. Your kind isn’t welcome here.
For the record, I was scrolling my Lemmy feed and saw the OP. Was reading the comments and simply replied to it. I’m not here to run apologetics for right wing positions.
As I said in other comments, doing everything possible to stifle progress and maintain the status quo is the extreme position I’m referring to in my original reply. That has nothing to do with left/right. There are plenty of people all over the spectrum that refuse to allow humanity to move forward (or push to reverse progress). Anyone that is against moving us forward is fucking wrong.
If even after I clarify this you still think I’m some fucking piece of shit stormfront facist, then I’m sorry. Either you have dealt with so many trolls it’s now expected from every new person, or you’ve made up your mind and it doesn’t matter what I say anymore.
I don’t think you are a fascist. All I know from the information provided so far is that you are a very lost redditor (look at the logo closely) who speaks with authority on subject matter he understands little about due to a lack of political education. That is always something quite annoying.
Like the implication that there is a (mythical) reasonable right wing ideological position in a thread where we’re mocking some internet fascist for being an anti-human scumbag, is a wrong statement, unwelcome on this site, and functionally apologetics for the tendency at large. However, I believe that it was not your personal intention to do so.
That was also some interesting stuff about the fervent defense of the status quo being separate from ideology but idk man at the end of the day your heart seems to be in the right place, I admire your open mindedness and genuine acknowledgement of a bigger picture for humanity, thats what matters. If you have the time, I would implore you to check out the works of modern alternative thinkers like Noam Chomsky, Mark Fisher, Micheal Parenti, and David Graeber, as reading their works is an exploration of novel perspectives about the current situation and the ways in which our progress as a species is stifled by bad actors.
But be careful about what people tell you online though, you should never go to gen.lib.rus.ec and search for books to download using their extensive database because its illegal to violate intellectual property rights. People even use that site to circumvent paying for outrageously expensive college textbooks, very bad.

What in the fuck are you on about lol
I defined the term, and asked if it mattered to you.
You never answered that question either.

I totally understand what you’re saying, and why you want me to define the terms. I really should have worded it differently.
My point was just that someone who has a more right leaning opinion is not the same as the cretin in the OP.
Again, after spending a lot of time re-reading my comment, I just feel like an idiot for not being specific.

No, I’m not.
