You don’t know what I like especially in regards to politics. what you don’t like is I disagreed with your own views. Don’t ever presume to tell me what to do. 

Wouldn't dream ot ft, just the way I read into it.

Actually the thing that pisses me off is the random use of the word nonce. You desperately want trump to be in that group for no other reason than politics. Biden is renowned for this behaviour and having seen first hand the long term catastrophic damage that this can cause to people Ive no time whatsoever for any man whom displays those characteristics.

No, all I've done is call out that when Donald Trump declared ANTIFA to be a terrorist organisation, he was basically decaring war on anyone who wasn't a fascist.

If you look back through the thread since I posted that, you'll see I haven't made a statement on race throughout this discourse. I might have done that on purpose.

I think it's impossible to be either pro or anti as Fascism no longer really exists.  Racism and bigotry still exist, granted.  But Fascism at a societal or governmental level disappeared with the end of WW2. In my view of course.

 

Antifa is not really 'anti-fascist' - it's a loose political movement which seems at its heart to despise all things to the right in the traditional political spectrum (but also many traditional liberal aspects such as freedom of speech if the views expressed don't fit).  It does seem the case these days that the term fascist is banded about freely yet incorrectly.  The irony is that the further toward the extremes of the political left and right you get, the more in common these competing movements have in terms of intolerance of others' views and a willingness to resort to violence to try to enforce their own.

Think marmite there is no middle ground. In the same way you either love or hate marmite you can never sometime just fancy a little bit of fascism.

Or maybe you can.

You're doing a fair job of that yourself.
