If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.
I guess that’s it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn’t morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.
Sure. Let’s go with that.
Not anymore. I left reddit. I don’t want lemmy becoming like reddit.
Good for you! I haven’t come across any Nazis here yet. Thanks for the warning.
There’s certainly a few who support fascists with fascist policies, and people who also support dictatorship.
I haven’t seen any.
Quick question, who did you name yourself after? If you’re American, did you vote for trump?
Nah, this isn’t about me. I prefer to stay private about stuff like that. Thanks for trying, tho!
Well that’s absolutely fair but people who support trump, support fascist dictators. So there’s your answer! I’ve seen some people on here who support trump, so they are supporting his fascist and dictatorial policies. That should clear things up for you!
That’s a lazy guilt-by-association fallacy. Supporting a politician doesn’t mean endorsing every extreme label slapped on them. If Trump were a fascist dictator, he wouldn’t have lost an election, left office, or faced multiple legal challenges from independent courts.
Fascism also requires suppression of free speech, yet his critics dominate every major media and social platform including this one, Lemmy.
Just because you dislike someone doesn’t make them a fascist. That’s emotion, not logic.
No its not.
It’s not endorsing him based on labels its his fascist dictatorial actions that make him a fascist dictator.
You’re right about Suppression of free speech, that’s why he wanting to deport people who criticism him glad we agree he is against free speech.
I’m not calling him a fascist because I disagree or dislike him I am calling him one because he is. It’s logical. Fawning over and defending him is emotional, and lacking logic.
