    You’re too stubborn to understand their argument which definitely makes you sound intellectually unserious.

    Fascists lie about who they are. They dress their autocratic tendencies up in populist rhetoric so people like you take them at their word.

      There’s a place at Reddit for people like you. It’s called r/iamverysmart

      But seriously now. Have you ever met an actual fascist?

        If you think the term “intellectually unserious” is “iamverysmart” material then you just validated what I said. It’s a succinct description of your behavior.

        The irony of you pretending to get “serious now” then asking the exact same dumbass question I already talked about, explaining how it’s the product of a stubborn mind that doesn’t want to understand the point. You not just disingenuous but seemingly incapable of actually having a serious discussion.

        I have met a fascist. Any other irrelevant questions?

          That’s a very eloquent way of saying nothing more than “nuh-uh you are”.

          I have met a fascist. Any other irrelevant questions?

          What kind of a situation was this? Did you talk to them? How did you know they were fascist?

          You seem to be wondering why I pursue this, and I understand that. It’s because you’re saying that libertarians are fascists, or at least that people who claim to be libertarian are fascists. This baffles me, because libertarians are the exact opposite of fascist. So not knowing you, I have to assume that either you’ve met a lot of people who don’t know what they’re talking about, or that you don’t know what you are talking about.

            Actually what I’m saying is that you’re stupid and it’s why you think middle school vocabulary is “i am very smart” material. Read a book.

            It’s also crazy that you’re writing this whole diatribe after I already explained my point two comments ago. Yet you were too concerned with dunking on me to get that apparently.

            They were fascist because they expressed support for fascist principles, spoke in fascist talking points, and supported fascist policies promoted by politicians that are fascist or fascist adjacent.

            Fascists lie and dress up rhetoric in more approachable formats to get past scrutiny. You think libertarianism is opposite to fascism which is only true if you don’t consider American libertarianism, which is actually a corporatist ideology whose founders outright said that the term “libertarian” was used because it has good connotations and they didn’t want ideological enemies to have that benefit. Fascists are very good at working with corporations as can be seen through BMW, Hugo Boss, and others.

            The American vision of a libertarian does not see an issue with hierarchies enforced by non state actors which makes them the perfect camouflage for fascists who similarly don’t want the government to protect everyone from abuse. The true differences only show up when the fascists start lining people up on the wall and at that point the libertarians will either be working with them or on the wall too.

            The arrogance to insist I’m the one lacking info is pretty amusing though. You haven’t even been able to comprehend my point after multiple comments.

              Right, so it was you who doesn’t know what you’re talking about. Have a nice rest of your life, then. I wish your good fortune in not meeting fascists continues.

                You missed this part I wrote you empty headed, smug, jackass.

                They were fascist because they expressed support for fascist principles, spoke in fascist talking points, and supported fascist policies promoted by politicians that are fascist or fascist adjacent.

                You seem very concerned with downplaying the existence of fascists. To the point you’re denying my experience out of hand.

                The sheer irony of you continuing to try to put down my intelligence when you clearly don’t even have the capacity to read what you’re responding to is rich.

                I wish you well on your journey, hopefully it leads to self awareness.
