    Fun fact: all fascists are authoritarian, but not all who are authoritarian are fascists.

    The other commenter rightly called your condescendingly controlling behavior based on adherence to authority authoritarian without calling you a fascist.

        Huh? You’re saying that the timing of his reply is somehow germane to whether or not telling people what to do is authoritarian behavior?

        Btw, just for the record, I don’t believe in not voting and will hold my nose and vote for the lesser evil when necessary. That’s not my problem with your comments.

        My problem is you pretty much ORDERING people to follow the example of you and me rather than advocating for it without authoritarian language.

          I didn’t tell anyone to do shit. I was simply pointing out that suggesting if people don’t like something they should vote against is in no way fascist or authoritarian or any of those things. What the fuck do you think campaigning and canvassing is?

          The sheer level of mental gymnastics you’d have to do to think it is is frankly impressive.
