    Elon Musk is a fascist now? Is there anyone you disagree with that isn’t a fascist? Are you 14?

        The way it’s been thrown around here, I would disagree with the fact that there’s anybody that disagrees with you that is not a fascist. That’s the definition these days. Someone that disagrees with you: fascist.

          Nope, that is not how it works. Take a look to Elon’s Twitter account and if you still think in the same way it is probably because you are a fascist also.

          I disagree with you, Elon has made it pretty apparent that he believes in authoritarian rule. Do you remember his coup tweet?

              So you have no idea about his behaviour and his general support for authoritarian bullshit but you’re here defending him anyway.

                I’m saying that nothing I’ve seen from him implies that he is a fascist. Claiming he is a fascist is an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence. If you cannot provide such evidence then I will dismiss it.

              Ah I see. So you don’t think he’s a fascist mainly because you’re uninformed. Hard to help you there.

                Go ahead. Show me where he’s a fascist on Twitter. I’m not the one making an extraordinary claim.

          I disagree. I also don’t think you’re a fascist, just dumb. So I can disagree with someone without thinking they’re a fascist, so you’re wrong.

            Hey now, they could be dumb and a fascist, we just don’t have enough data yet. Sure, being a musk fanboy indicates it, but we have yet to hear their opinion on anything else.

      Decent meme, but the fuel economy could be infinite, if you charge it with solar, wind or hydro. It’s electric, not gas

      The word has lost all meaning. Everything is “fascism” now. If you disagree with what I wrote, explain fascism in your own words and why you think such an individual qualifies. Show us.

        Hello TheFonz,

        thank you so much for your post on the lemmy! :)

        This is actually a misunderstanding. Not everything is fascism! The fascists trying to take over the US and Europe at the moment are fascist.

        I hope this post helped clear things up for you. Have a great day.

        Sincerely

        trashgirlfriend

          That’s what I thought. You only have downvotes and you have no idea what the word means. Stay true to your nature, Lemmy.

              Yes, I’m familiar with Eco’s explanation. I want the people in this thread to walk us from Mussolini to Musk. Because as far as I can tell, anything in online discourse has shown that fascism just means something I don’t like.

                Supporting authoritarian right wing politicians using his business ties don’t count?
