Have heard the name, but had no idea who he was.

He basically follows the same overly religious Conservative rhetoric as Kirk and he tries to speak 10x faster than everyone else to make himself appear more intelligent than he actually is.

Republicans/conservatives are quick to brand ‘Marxist’ and ‘communist’ around far too liberally and it’s toxic in its own right. There were sinister undertones to how people spoke about Obama in office.

In the West, the word ‘Nazi’ and ‘fascist’ carries a lot more baggage than ‘communist’. Don’t believe me? I challenge someone to come forward and say they’d rather the stigma of being publicly called a ‘commie’ than being a labeled a ‘Nazi’. As a society, we haven’t really come to terms with horrors perpetuated by 20th century communism as we have with fascism. If you admire Hitler or Mussolini, you’re genuinely unhinged but you will get people trotting out the line ‘it’s not real socialism/communism’ when discussing the USSR.

In the run up to the election there was plenty of mainstream news channels denouncing Trump, his rallies and by extension his supporters ‘fascist-like’, ‘neo-Nazi’ and so on.

Do you think he was wrong to release those who attacked the Capitol?

Exactly how I'd describe Shapiro. He's so smug, too!

He publicly admits that he was bullied at school which I suspect is why he's such a bellend as he clearly has a lot of unresolved deep-seeded issues and has a giant chip on his shoulder as a result.

Hence why he now spends his life cherry picking people who are less knowledgeable than him to debate with on various topics to make himself feel validated.

It's quite sad really.

Let’s stay on topic please and whilst it’s something I disagree with, it doesn’t make Trump a neo-Nazi or fascist.

You can’t seriously say you’re going to crack down on political violence after pardoning those you’ve essentially committed domestic terrorism. Until this sort of hypocrisy stops from both sides there it’ll continue.

These are from BlueSky, hardly a clean environment is it.

better ≠ perfect

the main point is on BlueSky you have to seek it out or follow people of that ilk. on twitter you can go on to see if we've signed anyone and have hate filled post after hate filled post

Two quick points:

There's some reasonable stuff here, but do you understand the difference between socialism and communism? If you're struggling with that (and you are if you think they're the same thing) then your point about Russia doesn't entirely make sense.

Secondly, regarding Trump supporters being described as fascist in outlook: I hate to point it out to you, but at least some of them are - particularly a section of the people that tried to reverse the results of a democratic election. Are we supposed to avoid saying it because it might hurt their feelings?

Helpful foreign country, change the news cycle

We often toy around with the idea of moving our lives over there in our latter years. I don’t think we’d have the stomach to settle with such massive cultural differences between us and them.

You'd most likely assimilate.

Got to feel for that old chap who was in all the videos being carted off by police with his trousers down.

I think he was a distraction. Why else would he be shouting shoot me shoot me as soon as Kirk got shot

Apparently they were his work clothes, good target for a hostile crowd.

No, what makes Trump a fascist is his words and actions.
