    So the one thing you’re against is abortion? Then don’t get one. If someone is being a fascist they deserve to be called out on it.

      If I think abortion should be illegal that makes me a fascist? Or are you saying something else?

        I’ll say yes, that you thinking abortion should be illegal is holding a fascist viewpoint. Does that make you a full-blown fascist? No. Is it a stepping stone? Maybe.

          Being pro or anti choice does not make someone a fascist.

          I think anti-choice people are objectively incorrect but I also understand the meaning of the word fascism.

          Not everyone you dislike is a fascist.

            You mean like a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition?

            So yeah, I fully believe that the belief that abortion should be illegal falls into those categories and is inherently pretty fucking fascist.

            Also, I never called them a fascist, but I will call you an idiot.

              One can be anti-choice and not stand for a centralized authoritarian government.

              A hardcore libertarian that believes protecting human life is the first and only role of a government can be anti-choice. They’d be wrong on a number of levels, but that’s still a logical progression that works. Dude you call a fascist is basically that take in human form.

              Either you don’t know what authoritarian means and think it means “any time a law passes I don’t like” or you are deliberately being obtuse.

              Any idiot can copy a definition, but you’re not supposed to just twist it and make it mean whatever you want. You may as well not even copy the definition at that point.

                You mean like favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom?

                I can do this all day, my guy. Making abortion illegal is authoritarian and fascist. It’s why Germany finally scrubbed one of the last remaining laws put into place by THE LITERAL NAZI PARTY about abortion access just last year. You’re wrong and your opinions are shit.

                  I’m sure you can not understand words all day. You seem to get a lot of practice.

                  Strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government

                  This doesn’t mean whatever you want it to mean. By your notion, any laws are inherently fascist.

                    A law that dictates across the board what an entire chromosomal group can do with their own bodies, effectively disregarding autonomy isn’t authoritarian to you?

                    You’re either fucking dumb or malicious. I’m not sure which is worse.

        I said we should call out nazism and fascism when we see it. I never said you were a fascist.
