The way it's been thrown around here, I would disagree with the fact that there's anybody that disagrees with you that is not a fascist. That's the definition these days. Someone that disagrees with you: fascist.
Nope, that is not how it works. Take a look to Elon's Twitter account and if you still think in the same way it is probably because you are a fascist also.
I disagree with you, Elon has made it pretty apparent that he believes in authoritarian rule. Do you remember his coup tweet?
No. I don't go on Twitter. It's a garbage pile.
So you have no idea about his behaviour and his general support for authoritarian bullshit but you're here defending him anyway.
I'm saying that nothing I've seen from him implies that he is a fascist. Claiming he is a fascist is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence. If you cannot provide such evidence then I will dismiss it.
You'd have to go on Twitter to get the evidence, so you'll dismiss it.
That's fair enough.
Ah I see. So you don't think he's a fascist mainly because you're uninformed. Hard to help you there.
Go ahead. Show me where he's a fascist on Twitter. I'm not the one making an extraordinary claim.
I disagree. I also don't think you're a fascist, just dumb. So I can disagree with someone without thinking they're a fascist, so you're wrong.
Hey now, they could be dumb and a fascist, we just don't have enough data yet. Sure, being a musk fanboy indicates it, but we have yet to hear their opinion on anything else.
How to identify fascism
Just so you know, that's a worthless metric.
Thank you for your very valuable opinion.
Those points are really not the right tool. I agree with you on that one.
It's kind of like a political Rorschach test. You see what you want to see.
I'm rubber you're glue
