@boudica, you just advanced to level 2!
Idaho would be the craziest looking state if this goes through đ
I think Eastern Washington should be included
Idaho is still anti pot though. Not sure how they will work that out.
Face book permanently removed them
Permanently?
Thats what it says under latest news
The left is so fascistic. I mean, they are actual fascists.
This isnât hyperbole.
Not really, unless you use the term 'fascism' extremely loosely when you actually mean authoritarian.
They just laugh at you if you call them fascists because you're using the academic term incorrectly.
And it feeds into their narrative.
Iâm using it with regards to their fierce attacks on opposing views
That's not the academic definition of fascism.
So again, they'll just laugh at you.
And it'll feed their narrative.
The academic term itself is flawed because they consider it âfar-rightâ. Itâs alt-left.
Call them authoritarian, and they'll have to crunch their teeth.
It really isn't alt-left. It's derived of a form of nationalism, on top of authoritarianism and dictatorial regimes.
They also donât use the term appropriately. They are closer to textbook fascists than anyone else.
Not at all. I'd like to see some sourcing here.
But that has more in common with the traditional left than with the right.
Except the left is anything but nationalist.
If you live in those counties. Vote yes. Idaho supports 2nd amendment.
The nationalist part is EXTREMELY important in the definition.
Oh? Was Soviet Russia not left?
@DangerousFreedom, you just advanced to level 16!
Soviet Russia was the opposite of nationalist.
How so? The âPartyâ was fused with the State, and they were quite proud of both.
... are you really trying to tell me that the USSR was actually nazbols? Are you actually joking?
They were similar.
You see, I am of the opinion that âauthoritarianismâ is more of a defining factor for a âsideâ (left/right) than whether they were proud of their nation.
Authoritarianism is the general sense of the word you're literally looking for.
Fascism is literally derived of the movement of Italy, and then conversely Germany and Japan.
It's very specific.
Yes, but fascism and socialism/communism have that in common, therefore they should be on the same side.
And it remains specific in academics.
... no? Because there is more than just one axis to politics?
Hence why Hitler wanted to purge all the communists in his country and elsewhere in the globe eventually.
I disagree with how academics classified fascism as âright-wingâ
It's not even defined as right wing.
