    It’s a valid claim, IMO. The libs leaving Twitter all seem to be VERY into Orwellian practices like “official block lists” and other absurd self-owns.

      Group efforts to root out fascism or other malcontents is hardly “Orwellian”…

        Group efforts to root out fascism or other malcontents

        You can read those words, right? Who decides what is and isn’t fascism? Who decides who is the malcontents in society? See what I mean?

          Fascism has a very clear definition. And who decides the malcontents? That’s also easy: Are you trying to harm people? Then you are a malcontent.

          You are attempting to obfuscate the discussion here. We all know what fascism is. We also all know its wrong to hurt people.

            You can barely detect your own biases! Have a great day. Continue with the fascist bullshit pretending you are ordained from some higher power.

            Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

              Nothing in there contradicts what I said here… There’s not fascist about preventing fascism from taking root. You’re making the same mistake made in “On Authority”, and calling revolutions where the people cast off their chains of oppression as “Authoritarian”…
