Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Do tell... just how far down the liberal-to-fascist pipeline are you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Can't really tell you. Since you have consistently demonstrated a complete lack of awareness of what either of those words mean.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Can’t really tell you.

Oh, that I have to concede. I don't even think you'd be able to tell.

Kindly fuck off. You can't even address the core component of our original discussion. I'm throwing the final gauntlet here. You name a time, place, or system of government that was fair and equitable in the last 8000 years, and I'll write an apology to you, admit you are far superior, and delete everything except that statement from my account . If you can't do that, then don't even bother fucking replying. I'm just going to copy-paste a reply calling you a moron and pointing out that you have failed again to rise to the most basic level of honest discourse.

the core component of our original discussion.

Stop projecting your evasiveness onto me, liberal - you've been desperately ducking and diving the "core component of our original discussion" from your second reply onwards.

You name a time, place, or system of government

Your attempts to distract from the fact that you have provided zero evidence to back up your initial claims is as transparent now as it was back then.

and delete everything except that statement from my account .

Please feel free. Now that lemmy.world is overflowing with liberals there are mountains of evidence lying around proving how quickly you lot start chanting fascist narratives as soon as anyone threatens your precious status quo - your contribution makes absolutely no difference whatsoever.

You are a moron and a coward. You won't even try to defend your statements. The only way you know to react to conflict is to hurl meritless accusation of fascism. By your own admission, you cannot describe what fascism actually is. You can fuck off anytime.
