At this point, I'm going to do whatever I want with no regard to what sorts of lists they are making or who they are tracking. I truly don't care. Show up at my house in the middle of the night and kidnap me. Go ahead. I'm so tired of this fucking place.

Charlie Kirk was a racist, fascist cunt rag, and now his shirt looks like one. Rot in piss bitch boy.

fascist

No he wasnt. And Id argue he was a racist either, as much the out of context quotes make it look like he was.

Fascist is just another internet buzzword you are all saying because someone else said it. Seriously, go look on conservative boards, they are all calling you fascist for the wrong reasons as much as you call them it for the wrong reason. Wanna know why? Because of the echo chambers you are all stuck in, that keep pumping hate into your ears like a junkie pumps dope.

Take a big step back, and I promise you. Instead a couple of days, you will feel so much better. This shit aint healthy. And the fact you are gaining joy from the death of a human being and suffering of his wife and children, should be alarming to you.

Ummm, he died literally one sentence after blaming gun violence on blacks. I'm pretty sure he was racist.

I don't know how the right is justifying calling the left fascists but looking up the definition, and I think defining this is both important and difficult, it is characterized by a strong sense of nationalism. MAGA. Check.

Concentration of power into a small number of or a single person. TACO. Check.

Creating an enemy of a segment of the population. Immigrants. Check.

A capitalist economy subject to strict government controls. Government takes part of nVidea's profits to allow then to seek secrets chip technology overseas. TACO ordering the fed to let rates. Tariffs. Check.

Violent suppression of the opposition. I would call the way ICE is working violent and clearly removing people disloyal to Trump's agenda from the government along with sueing news organizations and admitting that he would take revenge on his political opponents is pretty friggin close. Check.

A policy of belligerent nationalism and racism. If you can't see that, then I'll never convince you. Big check.

Oppressive dictatorial control. Well let's see. The right has the house, Senate, the supreme Court, oligarchs, the presidency and the president is acting like a dictator circumventing normal governmental controls. Check.

Charlie Kirk has been a lightning rod of indoctrination of young people into this philosophy.

So yeah, fascist.

The definition comes from the American Heritage Dictionary by the way in addition to other sources. Merriam Webster has a more comprehensive definition. I'd like to see one America DOESN'T match.
