Yes

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But also, yes.

[–] Five 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But have you considered the fact that yes?

[–] Lianodel@ttrpg.network 5 points 3 weeks ago

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes, obviously.

The answer will shock approximately nobody on Lemmy, but it's a good, careful look at what history can show us, from a pedantic historian.

He doesn’t have the cognitive abilities to distinguish the definitions he just likes the strongman image. His team of enablers are however pretty much all in on project 2025 and can’t wait to fully enact the Christofacist Oligarchy of America.

What do you disagree with the article on?

[–] warbond@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

.ml users defending modern fascists that all the real world socialists call fascists, weird how that keeps happening

Actually, now that I think about it, I was instance banned for saying federal representative democracies are by definition a form of democracy, which a Marxist might disagree with on an ideological basis but which a conservative engaging in enforcing right-think acceptance would ban you for pushing back against the "we're a republic, not a democracy" narrative.

Interesting.
