Do he still think fascism is good for small businesses though?

If only he ever said that you weren't making up bullshit by misrepresenting his statement.

So, while his comment wasn't entirely neutral I don't see any endorsement of fascism in there.

[-] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 79 points 4 days ago

I'd say you either openly oppose fascism or you condone it, there are no other possibilities

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's fair I guess.

It sounds like that is the same as saying “you can’t oppose corporate monopolies without openly opposing fascism”

There is a lot of risk in that sort of intentional abdication of nuance, hopefully self-evident to you and to all who read this.

The difference is that he could have just not said anything, yet he chose to praise Republicans and denounce Democrats. Sure, there's plenty of reasons to denounce Democrats, but putting that alongside praising Republicans is beyond tone-deaf.

It was the same with Elon before he went head first into facism. They usually start by selling themselves as liberal with some occasional praise of conservatives. Then later claim they are moderate or the go to favorite of tech bros claiming they are libertarian, since saying they are conservative might receive backlash.

It's always this exact article "on the topic" that gets posted in response. I remember his posts on social networks though.

So not really. Thanks for the actual answer.

Edit: goddamn, you actually changed my view somewhat and people still go piling on lol

Are you kidding? Hating on Andy Yen for saying dumb shit he didn’t actually literally say is basically a Lemmy staple meme by now.

I'm not a Nazi, I just admire their personnel picks. And their economic policy. And their uniforms. And the killing of some jews. But I'm not a Nazi!

I’m so tired
