Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

That's the same thing as saying you can't critisize them. Just admit you want your own version of fasicm at this point where people can only critisize the politicians you deem safe to critisize. You're not gonna get rid of red fasicms with blue fascism.
“Wait until the fire is under control to bitch about your taxes”
Is not the same as
“Don’t bitch about your taxes.”
This is fascism as it’s defined, not as one feels. It’s an easy differentiation to make if you put in 6 seconds of effort.
You don’t have to agree with me, but you should remain as intellectually honest as you can manage.
Just admit you’d rather bitch about something safe than resist in any way shape or form, it’s no more shameful than your selective understanding.
The fires been going for 10 years now so effectively it is. Stop trying to curb free speech, that will NEVER make fascim go away. It's literally the antitheses of fighting fascism.
Ok buddy. Thumbs up, good job.
Just say you want your own flavor of fasicm. If you wanna silence opinions you dont like own it instead of hiding behind patronization. But then again if you were brave you would know better than to fight fascism with fascism.
I want you to expend your effort in the most beneficial manner. To me, that’s fighting fascism. To you, that’s bitching about AOC and vigorously defending your safe, lazy bullshit by trying to call me a fascist.
I want you to be better, but you insist on being a pedantic contrarian. Goodbye buddy, get better.
Try not to keep being a fascist out of fear of other fascists. It's pretty pathetic. Your patronization fools no one.
