    You can “Logical, captain” all you want. You’re still going to bat for a right wing populist who surrounds himself in white nationalist imagery.

    I don’t have to argue that fascist are bad.

      I don’t have to argue that fascist are bad.

      Fascists are the only ones who get to assume their position is true without ever bothering to prove it.

        No, fascists are the right wing populists who appeal to violent authority to subjugate marginalized persons in attempts to reacquire a fictitious idealized past they have rationalized as stolen from them by these already disempowered groups.

        If you’re asking me to prove fascism is bad, you’re doing to work of fascists.

          If you’re asking me to prove fascism is bad, you’re doing to work of fascists.

          I’m asking you to respect the 4th, 5th, 6th amendments, which require proof of guilt before condemnation. If you can’t even recognize the meaning and necessity of “presumption of innocence” and “rights of the accused”, you don’t get to lecture me on “fascism”.

          Hint: the subject of this article is “the accused”.

            The whatever amendments don’t protect a guy who cosplays as a teutonic knight from being told to fuck himself.

              You haven’t told him to fuck himself. You’ve accused him of crimes you didn’t witness.

                I also accuse him of smelling farts. What are you going to do about it?
