        Interesting. Color me skeptical, but I’ve been around for a minute, and that smacks of bait.

            No, it simply is not.

            It’s a loaded, low-effort question that puts the onus on your target and required nothing from you at all.

            That said, if it wasn’t in bad faith, I welcome you to try again. Otherwise, I can easily find better things to do than waste more time on trolls, friendo.

              You can dance in circles all you want, it’s not going to change anything. You’re taking concepts that have nothing to do with fascism and attributing them to it regardless. Saying patriotism a gateway drug to fascism is like saying “community is a gateway drug to cults.” Just because both involve belonging and loyalty doesn’t mean one inevitably leads to the other. It’s the distortion, not the foundation, that creates danger.

              Trying to twist something that’s normal, healthy, and even necessary like patriotism or community into something toxic, shows that you’re disingenuous, which is ironic considering your spiel here. Just because you say something is poisonous that doesn’t that it is.

                Oh, you silly frothy fuckwit. I simply called out your bullshit “question”, and was clearly accurate in presuming it was, in fact, bait.

                Your attempts to weaponize the word salad sloshing around in that soggy head aren’t doing you any favors, so how about this:

                Read a fucking book that isn’t Mein Kampf.

                Don’t forget to breathe. (optional)

                Bye, Felisha.

                BTW, for those playing along at home, “community” is essential. “Patriotism” is not. Don’t suffer these idiots. Call them out, every time. You are not alone, friends. We got this. ✊🏼

                  So let me get this straight. You made a stupid claim, got criticized for it, tried to beat around the bush, and when you got called out, you threw a temper tantrum? I’m not surprised, but it goes to show that people like you lack the ability to defend your views on their own merits. But hey, why stand by your beliefs when you could just cope by appealing to the masses (nobody is reading this thread btw)…
