As I said already, AP and Reuters don’t need to call him a fascist. He is one by his actions. Just like I don’t call my neighbor a liberal when I address him or speak with him, I just call him Jay.
I sincerely hope this puts an end to your bad faith attempts to stir up arguments as I don’t believe you should have any logical response that can carry any weight whatsoever.
Be done with this.
In your opinion. Not everyone shares your opinion. You have a right to your opinion. I have a right to mine.
I'm not attempting to argue. I'm saying that just becuase you and most of Lemmy have an opinion that he's a fascist, doesn't make it a fact. I'll wait for AP News or Reuters to say that before I believe. thx
It’s not my opinion. I shared the definition of fascism. He embodies that definition word for word.
His is a fascist. BY DEFINITION- and this is empirically factual.
That you disagree, is an OPINION.
I don't think he's a fascist. And there is nothing wrong with me thinking that. Lots of people disagree with you and that's why he's president. You can be as mad as you want.
The fact is, I don't share your opinion. Accept it. You haven't changed my mind. He's still president. And people are allowed to post news articles about him. Even if you hate him.
Those are facts. Move on. You're just repeating the same thing over and over. You're not going to change your mind. And I'm not either. It's ok. Move on.
So let me get this straight:
You are telling other people they’re wrong for calling him a fascist, which by the way- is an opinion they are entitled to. (Remember this part. It’ll come up later)
Then you say… that if he were a fascist, news sources would refer to him as such- but because they’re not saying it, he’s can’t be a fascist? And when that backfired on you, you made the conscious decision to assume that I am somehow mad- which is a well-known troll’s defense by the way… and a piss poor one at that.
And now, with the wind is entirely out of your sails, you’ve fallen back and have now entirely entrenched yourself within the defensive:
“I’m allowed to have my opinion! Move on if you don’t like it!”
Heads up: you’re not a victim here. That shit doesn’t work on me. No one is saying to you anything that you’re not saying to others. So If you’re not going to “move on,” then why should anyone else? They’re just holding up the mirror, if you don’t like what you see- that’s a you problem.
Now… Moving forward- If you want to say he’s not a fascist. Say it and move on. But you don’t get to tell others they’re wrong when they’re stating a UNIVERSAL fact that you happen to disagree with.
If you don’t like this. Then maybe this community isn’t for you.
I'm saying I disagree with that opinion. They are entitled to their opinions (as I have often said) and I am entitled to mine.
Good point. I shouldn't have assumed you are mad. Apologies.
I've never said I'm a victim. It's a Lemmy discussion about a news article. It's not that serious.
I'm fine with my reflection, thx.
I've already said several times that I don't think he's a fascist. You haven't blown any wind out of my sails. I've told you specifically that I don't agree with your opinion that he's a fascist.
I'm fine with this community. That's why I post here.
He’s a fascist. It’s a fact. Walk away.
I don't agree with the opinion that he's a fascist. As I've already said. I'm not sure why you keep pressing the point. You're not going to change your mind. I'm not going to change my mind.
You have the right to your opinion. I have the right to mine. It's ok that we don't agree.
Yeah. It’s pretty UNIVERSALly known that he’s a fascist. And I honestly believe that you know he is as well.
Enjoy your ~~stay~~ visit and behave yourself.
And you would be incorrect in that assumption, and I think as you are a mod of this community, that it's inappropriate for you to say that about me, especially since I have stated my opinion directly to you. You have no proof whatsoever that I believe he's a fascist. I have stated several times in this very thread that I don't believe he is.
I'm aware that it's an unpopular opinion here. However, I am allowed it. As you are allowed yours. I would prefer to move on from this conversation. Thank you.
Which is why I said “I BELIEVE.”
And you absolutely ARE allowed your opinion. Just as others are. Yet I see you browbeating them daily with it.
So now that it’s clear you don’t seem to like taking your own medicine, it might be best that you make a decision to either stop administering it to the people in this community- or keep it to the other communities that are more UNIVERSALly tolerant of your style of…. Communicating.
