My position is the fear mongering on the left leads to what we see could happen like we saw here with a young man getting struck down for speaking his mind

Then be careful about your comments like earlier in the thread.

If he wrote fascist on the bullet I take maybe he understood what that was. Maybe he didn't. All I can say is people pushing that whole agenda should be very careful.

Fascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition," Edited 15 minutes ago by Elliott Per @ElliotFascism is generally defined as a political movement that embraces far-right nationalism and the forceful suppression of any opposition,"

No it's not. Hitler was a fascist. There aren't many other regimes i can equate that to. But Leo just fed into why Kirk died by calling the current regime in America fascist. It is not. It appears to be and may be messed up on many levels but there is a difference. What people like Leo are doing are poisoning people's minds into believing this a direct threat to your survival so what the heck do you expect.

Is the current regime facism? I don't think so. Trump is a glorified Putin. He's Americanized. He wants power. But more importantly he wants his corporation to thrive and his daughter to win the Bachelorette. He's not Hitler. But guys like Kirk go around spreading the crap Leo is spreading and what do you think happens. Lots of bad stuff. Leo dial it back

The logic is as follows: Imagine if I called Charlie Kirk a fascist and then some psychopath shot Kirk with a bullet with "fascist" written on it. Does that mean I am now not allowed to call anyone a fascist? Let's not use the term racist here let's use fascist. So I replaced your words. Yes you would not want to do that for obvious reasons. But notice how it.is different depending on the word. So nice try trying to change it up .

That's not fair. Kirk subscribed to the rhetoric.

Not entirely sure how it can stand after that but OK. Willing to see multiple perspectives.

I hate to break this to you but the dude wrote fascism into the very bullet casings that killed Kirk.

K.

I think i had it worse with sleepy joe.

Well, effectively the left has vanished in this period because the right has almost full power...And has any of this happened? What happened to your feared project 2025? The closest thing that has happened is troops in the city- which had an end date of the end of the year. So from that perspective all this fear mongering - and that's what i will call it here - directly feeds into the reason why guys like Kirk are dead.

Well Leo calling the right fascist even in this very thread does not help this effort. It really can brainwash people into thinking that society is doomed if the left does not prevail. Some people (even the very few) - the 1% will take things literally to the core. It's gonna take a bipartisan effort to curve hatred.

Fair. I didn't say Biden caused it i said he wasn't fixing it. And I realize now that fixing inflation is a losing effort by both parties but growing the economy is the answer which hasn't happened under this administration. I understand that Trump claims the tarrifs will ultimately lead to a stronger economy and thus higher salaries to combat inflation but i honestly don't have a lot of faith in that. What does this have to do with violent propaganda being pushed on both sides? Its being pushed on both but we are on a very left forum so it's very valid to point that out here

I think he meant that he hoped he wasn't from Utah. Still it introduced tones of bias and racism into it. It's so obvious.

Seriously? Kirk shooting? You guys baffle me

The right is really messed up. I never denied that. But the crazy thing is the left is worse.

Man you must be really scouring the internet 🙄

He is deep left- and sometimes he gets quite extreme with his views. Whether you want to see that or not. To me I have no idea given his spiritual level that he could be this deep left but he is. So we must be careful on its effect on the youth there's many unstable people out there and when you start introducing the fascist term you bring up thoughts of the Holocaust. I don't want that to be but it is.

Thanks 😊 and now I'm waiting for yours hehe. Don't mock the signature it's good stuff!

My posts was to question whether the DC takeover was a form of soft authoritianism. A far cry from calling someone a fascist outright- which is a direct alignment with Nazism. Terminology is especially impressionable on young people like this apparent shooter.

It was on the bullet casings.

Doesn't matter you are feeding into this festering hate for the right via the labeling of fascism and the demonization of Trump. You reap what you sow. You'll get the same with Israel. Be careful who you demonize. You just might become the demon.

So you're calling the right fascists. This just feeds into the problem. You might be the problem. Your words were on the bullet casings. Your supporter already went beyond authoritarian mode by striking down an innocent man. Destroying what is left of free speech.
