Whoa, they're coming out of the woodwork lately. Third post in 9 years. Maybe if you exercised that muscle between your ears a little more you'd pick up on something once in a while at least. First, nothing is
ever because I said so. That's just the cheap shot, lazy way out, but you wanna knock yourself out, pleeez do.
I've somehow managed to avoid using the forum completely for all these years
precisely because I have better things to do with my time than have dumb arguments like this one with strangers on the internet, but what can I say? You're such a bewilderingly easy target that I just couldn't resist. Even among far-right fringe types the "facts" you keep spouting are just laughably groundless. National Socialism is the most prevalent form of socialism? Someone better tell all the Scandinavians with their nefarious free healthcare that they're all living in a Nazi regime. My favorite factoid of yours is that America has been a fascist state since the 1930s (the implication being, I guess, that Roosevelt setting up programs to help the millions of people affected by the Depression was tantamount to fascism in your mind, because they interfered with your beloved free markets, the same laissez faire capitalism that
caused the crash in the first place). If only you had been around to convince people of this back in WWII, we could have avoided the whole dang thing, seeing as how apparently we were on the same side the whole time.
I guess we should at least be glad that you aren't one of these actively pro-fascist Alt-Right types, but your line of reasoning, I'm afraid, might be even less coherent than theirs. Never mind that your definitions of "socialism" or "fascism" don't align with any agreed-upon definitions held by any sane person anywhere (even those on the right), because 95% of people are, apparently, simply
wrong by your account. Obviously this makes any attempt to have a rational argument with you completely futile, since it more or less amounts to playground-level "I know you are but what am I" rhetoric (I will admit that I'm beginning to see why Donald Trump appealed to guys like you, since his approach to discourse is pretty much the same thing, leaving aside all the valid grievances that working class Americans have with neoliberal hegemony). I hate to imagine what obscure corner of Reddit you picked up all your "facts" from, but I guess it doesn't matter what I think does it, because anything I say is just "cultural Marxism" (as if any such thing actually existed), spoon-fed to me by the liberal* "Cathedral", right? I'm just a cuck who hasn't been "red pilled", never mind me.
*Funny thing about that word "liberal", which pseudo-conservative right-wing types like you like to use with such disdain. From what I can gather, as baseless as they are, your views seem to be more or less pro-free market extremism. You know what the historical name for that is? That's right, "classical liberalism". You, my friend, are a liberal.
