You actually don’t think Trump’s actions are fascist?
I don't think that's the point. Whether or not they think Trump's actions are fascist, which I assume they do because they are on Lemmy, doesn't matter.
The point is that the name of an organization (or group) does not exactly have to match its intentions and actions. If I made an anti-Nazi party with all the ideology and policy of the Nazis, and committed horrible crimes, then I could call out my opposition and say that they were Nazis for opposing my anti-Nazi party.
I do think Trump is a fascist, but not because he is "anti-anti-fascist".
The meme is entertaining, though
How do you explain this?
How do you explain this?
How do you explain the masked armed soldiers invading city streets while those cities explicitly ask them to leave?
How do you explain the zero punishment of obvious crimes such as using the White House to promote a cryptocurrency for personal wealth building?
And which judges are determining this legality?
Should organize under the name Anti-pedo, then just go and commit a bunch of violence. If people complain, they must be pedophiles.
Who is “they?”
Are “they” in this thread with us right now?
And while I don’t doubt that somebody somewhere does throw around the word “fascist” as a pejorative, it is generally used correctly when someone checks all the boxes. Right now, much of the US and a growing number around the globe, check all of the boxes.
