    Remember, Taibbi's Protest Is About What the Influencers Tell You Is the Only Problem



    With dumbing-down education, necessary because its goal of going to college means the economy-killing absurdity of getting a job just because the graduate went four or more years without a job, social-media robotic posters were pre-conditioned to write what they were told to think, because they had lost the ability to think independently of what seductive gurus had been hired by the bipartisan ruling class to tell them what to think. Originality is the only crime attacked on this Netrix. The invasion of the mind-snatchers has made American thought occupied territory.

    So I was thinking that the totalitarians were overdoing it with unnecessary post-brainwashing censorship. But this regime imposes what is so much the opposite of natural human thought that a few squeaks of independence manage to get through, so they must squelch that to be sure they are safe in their sheltered castles.

    Now I'm confused. What is the dividing line? How do I know when the standard struggle for a business to remain in business somehow becomes fascism?

    when they buy most adds and control the media to stop the truth about their products from coming out, and government helps them lie and makes their product mandatory despite science, it's fascism.

    there's a rule of thumb for ya, dumbass.

    you should be ashamed of how shitty you have become.

    So you acknowledge that there is no concrete way to verify fascism per your definition, that it is a totally unfalsifiable concept that only exists in paranoid delusions.

    Well, OK then. I can't use your definition. It's more of a non-definition that keeps the term an undefined buzzword. There's no way to have any sort of rational discussion of this particular buzzword that you have hijacked because you guard ownership of what it means and you keep that a secret by being intentionally vague.

    In conclusion: I reject your attempt to hijack the term "fascism" to mean something other than socialism based on a nationalism appeal whereby an authoritarian government retains full power.

    fascism is the union of government and corporate power.

    you fascists have tried and failed to redefine it.

    Stupid.

    Walmart teamed up with local government to build a public library. Walmart provided the funding and the local government expedited all the permits, zoning, paperwork, etc.

    This is your definition of fascism. I reject your definition as being stupid.

    You call me and some undefined group "fascists" but I have never teamed with government to build a public library.

    Democrats actually want things like Social Security. GOP always attacks that program.
