    Wait, I’m even more confused. Are you saying the OP who posted is creating the demarcations for groups?

        Wish there was common nomenclature for referring to posters or parts of a comment to make the context clearer. Friends say I am on the spectrum but the Psychologist said that doesn’t seem to be the case.

        Like, OP1 is lame, OP2 supports genocide, etc. to clarify within a thread without having to quote or @ which I find a bit clumsy and generally gets in the way of flow.

          This sounds like a great idea!

          I’ll clarify, I’m just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.

          So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don’t demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

            The irony of this post after looking at your comment history honestly hurts. Thumbs up though!! Much liked.

              For sure I think Nazis and Tankies are both gross, and I have a kind of out-group bias against them, but I never advocate for violence against them.

              Except maybe punching Nazis, but nothing serious damaging or life threatening.

          Ah yes, the “I have a black friend” defense.

          I have Jewish friends, so I trust you won’t call me antisemitic for saying Israel is structurally racist and authoritarian.

            If you have a Jewish friends then you really aren’t anti semitic are you?

            Such a smooth brain comment.

            Not to mention a huge amount of Israelis themselves criticise the current government and what it’s done.

                Your comment was indistinguishable from the kind of stupid people that genuinely mean the same thing.

              Why would a Jew choose to live in the West Bank when there’s a much more pleasant country next door offering them citizenship? Your analogy is so flawed I have a hard time thinking you’re making it in good faith.

                Well, according to your own words, Israel is a fascist state, hunting down Arab minorities. I have shown an example how a representative of an Arab minority has held an extremely high rank in Israel society, and I believe this fact undermines your claim, hence Israel is not a fascist state.

              Wasn’t Hitlers physician at one point a Jewish person? I don’t think one example is really all that telling.
