OP is calling blatant fascism fascism. I am utterly baffled by your position.
- happytoexplain 1mo agoI disagree. Enough people disagree that "blatant" is probably, by definition, not an appropriate adjective. But at the same time, I don't hold that position passionately. Maybe it is fascism. It's not "blatant", but it's arguable. Semantic arguments are never very interesting. It's more reasonable to simply argue that something is immoral - to argue the specifics of your disagreement - rather than to fight over whether a specific term applies, which would serve as emotional leverage for your argument due to its connections to historical atrocities. That's some kind of logical fallacy that I can't name.
- allanmacgregor 1mo agoSorry, but people are calling anyone who disagrees with them nazis or fascists so frequently that it is hard to take seriously anymore? You don't agree with my exact political views?! Then you are a fascist. Also blatant fascism? By which definition? the OP article pretty much cites a single blog post as his evidence of DHH being a fascist; but never really defines fascism. I get it DHH is not a very likeable guy, and a bit of a prick but calling him a fascist or taking childish jabs like calling Omarchy "vibecoded scripts on top of Arch" really removes a lot of credibility
