I dislike that you call people dumb or facist because they made a different judgement than you did, in regards of the "Is Trump worse than campus authoritariani

  Well in the context of fascism one of those things is an authoritarian government leader that praised dictators and tried to take over the government and another is a paid activity that's voluntary. If you want to make obviously dumb claims about fascists, you might get called out.

    Perhaps you should articulate a well-defined definition of fascism and provide arguments for why you clasify someone as a fascist if you are going to criticize someone else whose viewpoint is dfferent. Calling out someone for 'obviously dumb' claims assumes a universal non-subjective definition at the very least. It's also a seriously lazy way to argue a point.

      Or perhaps you shouldn't have to ask people to go back and review every axiom and theorem from Eucli-- OK, from Politics 101 onwards -- in order to find some gotcha to make your point. Starting one's argument from the consensus of the reality-based community may be "lazy", but starting to quibble over basic definitions in a much higher-level discussion is a pretty sure sign one is on the wrong side of whatever the argument is about.
