Yeah my definition is more "niche" but I just fundamentally disagree withe philosophical underpinnings of definition like Umberto Eco gave and such. I think it's clearly a liberal definition lacking in material or dialectical understanding of the world and fails to ever define anything really.
Regardless, definition itself isnt the basis of the convo. If what I call fascism was called "time-location-based-expropriation-interests", we could still have the convo. we're talking about real things regardless of the word. I still think we disagree after that though, unless the essay also convinces you of an evil you didn't previously understand and results in you agreeing with my analysis or so.
I love how Lemmy libs always go "hexbears just harass everyone they disagree with, they never civilly discuss anything" and most of the time I see disagreements on hexbear go this way.
I want to thank you for a well-thought out and patient explanation of your viewpoint, it's stuff like this that leads me to wanting to learn more, and which keeps me curious and critical.
Really A+ posting, thank you for taking the time.
Over everything else, but sometimes the libs give you a nice tasty bait, one you just gotta nibble on and work hard to clean right off in front of everyone you know

But genuinely, fine with discussing until someone obviously deserves a PPB, but until I see a slur or a knowing defense of fascism (I give temporary allowances to those who seem confused), I give my time to the posting wars
The ppb is good when people are being smuglords or otherwise engaging in bad faith, but ppb shouldn't be posted in response to people asking questions in earnest. We all learn something everyday, and we're all susceptible to propaganda, so asking about conflicting data should be supported.
Being a debatebro is instant :gulag: tho
