A Liberal Professor Starts To Learn Why People Want To Open Up. He was all in favor of continuing the lockdown, until suddenly his college announced that the raises professors were expecting would not be given, plus money put into the retirement fund would not be given, either. He was livid.

Nope, there are plenty of exceptions. Lots of us believe in freedom. We might disagree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Telling that you your milieu is so small that everyone in it is a fascist who desires control of others. You can't even imagine a world in which people disagree with you, probably because you banned them all.

Comedy.

It's the foundation of liberalism, and it's why the West is the best. It's always the first thing fascists remove.

It's so sad you can't visualize a world in which people disagree with you, and think everyone else wants to be a fascist like you.

"It's the foundation of liberalism"...?

Are you now claiming to be a member of the principled left? Who's writing this stuff for you?

Bad comedy.

Oh, liberalism is not leftism. Leftists freely use censorship. They're not liberal. They just used the label, stained it, abandoned it, and re-branded as progressives.

That's the thing, the left dumped liberal values a long time ago, so they were just lying around for anyone to pick up. Now a lot of right wingers identify with liberal values. Rest assured the coincidence has been remarked upon by both liberals and rightists. That's the intellectual dark web you might have heard about.

The "Intellectual" Dark Web is a controlled narrative and posse of poser philosopher clowns who occasionally say something clever and trap authentic alternatives and solutions from getting to the people by pretending to be against the establishment while supporting many of their ideas - like the necessity for "authority" and laws.

On a superficial level the left and right are more extreme and divided than ever, and chuckleheads buy into that shit.

On another level capitalism and communism have merged into a globalist Zionist totalitarian corporatocratic kakistocracy.

I am bored of your opinionated ignorance.

Bye.

a fascist like you.

Another pithy ad hominem attack.

This is exactly what I expect from you.

Stopping free speech with violence is not fighting fascism. It IS fascism!

Wrong again...

You mean the concerted effort a few years ago to change the definition, and now you are dishonestly parading it about? Try a dictionary from the 1970s, or better yet the 1930s. http://www.la-articles.org.uk/fascism.htm

From 1912 to 1914, Mussolini was the Che Guevara of his day, a living saint of leftism. Handsome, courageous, charismatic, an erudite Marxist, a riveting speaker and writer, a dedicated class warrior to the core, he was the peerless duce of the Italian Left. He looked like the head of any future Italian socialist government, elected or revolutionary.

There you go trying to tell me what to think again.

I'm reasonably confident that dictionary.com is relatively modern.

Either way, none of your cited sources directly support the original claim you made about what fascism is.

Also, I never made any violent suggestions, which makes your accusation all the more foolish.

It's disgraceful.

I won't disagree (regarding AntiFa, corporate-government fascism, who use violence) but why did you insist on steering the conversation onto fascism?

Your bias and agenda is smothering all decent discussion.

These are the arguments of a twelve year old.

Lots of the government do not believe in freedom. Again, division. Your point is?

FALSE and FALSE.

I didn't call anyone a fascist.

I said, everyone without exceptions needs to control to some extent - including you and I.

I have banned and/or muted ZERO people. Not even chuckleheads.
