I am once again asking liberals to learn that fascism doesn't just mean "something I don't like"

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Scanning Umberto Eco's 14 points, China ticks most of them.

It's certainly not communist else they would be redistributing the wealth of the billionaires, not welcoming them into the ruling party.

[–] brain_in_a_box@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

No it doesn't, not unless you're deliberately distorting fact to make it fit

Hey look who wants to have an opinion without doing investigation. Is it any surprise they're only able to speak nonsense?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I need to investigate whether billionaires exist in China?

Wow you're such a :LIB: that you can't even be bothered to read what you yourself write susie-laugh

Does your brain turn to mush every time you're questioned or only the times you get quoted? Did you use words that were too big for yourself? michael-laugh

Cancel culture is the real fascism

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cancel culture is just changing the channel when there's someone on your TV screen that you don't like.

You want go clockwork orange and strap people down, tape their eyes open and force them to watch the things you want them to watch? Because that would ensure the freedom of the people on TV to say whatever they want, right? The freedom of Hollywood assholes are more important that our freedom to change the channel, amirite?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What the fuck are you even talking about with Hollywood and television? Are you on a script? Bitch, you're the one complaining about cancel culture. You're the one equating being made fun of for having stupid reactionary opinions to literal torture. Can you please put in the absolute bare minimum of effort when you speak to at least remember the topic of fucking discussion??

I haven't been so befuddled by a completely deranged and incoherent reply since I last posted on reddit-logo. Buddy I do not miss dealing with dipshits like you.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just illustrating the point of how stupid the cancel culture is. If you're not someone in TV, why would you give a shit about it?

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I understand the liberal brainpan isn't capable of maintaining a thought or any information for longer than a few sentences, but this is really exceptional. Why are you acting like you weren't the one crying about cancel culture in the first place? Why do you compare being bullied for your reactionary opinions with torture? Are you stupid?

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a problem idiots like to whine about as if it's actually an important thing and I demonstrated how ridiculous it is because any solution to this "problem" would be insane.

I suggest you read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" so you'll be better able to understand this kind of rhetorical device. It's meant to make you think about what the actual issue is, but apparently you're unwilling or unable to think.

Hint: If you're not willing to strap people down and force them to watch what you want them to, then what's the solution to the "cancel culture" problem? Or maybe it's not actually a problem that needs to be solved. It's literally just people not watching things they don't like.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm almost tempted to spend this time mocking you for being so fucking stupid as to believe that some idiot offering a cartoonish solution to a problem is proof that it can't be solved. Because that's a real fucking stupid thing to say and you're a real fucking stupid person for saying it.

But it's more important that I tell you to shut the fuck up and go back to read what the thread you're replying to is about. You were the one who whined about cancel culture. Turn off the chatbot in your brain and actually pay the fuck attention to what's going on around you. Holy shit dude.

Hexbear I think I found the libbest of the libs

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hexbear LOL. Are y'all fascists claiming to be socialists?

You aren't fooling anyone, kids.

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

if we were fascists would your response really be to call us kids? and put on your debate cap?

That would be your response to fascism encroaching on the platform you use?

Fucking liberals goddamn
