    I feel like the Venn diagram of Lemmy users and (current or ex-) fascists has very little overlap.

    Happy to be proved wrong though.

      I think the ex-fascists subgroup you mentioned, addressed in this question, is actually representative of intrinsic critical thinkers whose nature overcame their upbringing. These I think are quite natural lemmings (a particularly ironic name).

      I’m not happy for you to be proved wrong! Deplatforming fascists is always welcome.

        You can’t just call everything you deem bad fascist, you’re taking away all the meaning from that word

          In the west, they teach that communism = authoritarianism and totalitarianism. They teach that no one would willingly let an elected government plan anything, and therefore we should submit to the will of random ass rich people.

            OK so the current communist leaders aren’t random ass rich people? I’m pretty sure if you ranked the North Koreans by wealth, their current leader would miraculously be #1.
