    That's not what you said. You said the government controlling aspects of people's lives. :goalposts:

    It's hardly MY fault you sniffed too much glue and are incapable of abstract thought.

    I'm using your definition of fascism. Now you're trying to walk it back.

    See. you are not only incapable of abstract thought, you fail reading comprehension. Inherent does not mean definition. Definition of inherent is "existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute"

    Controlling speech is inherent in fascism.

    Controlling speech is existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute

    Controlling speech is a permanent and/or essential characteristic attribute in fascism.

    You know what ... just log off here. Take a couple years off. Go back to college. Take some courses. Then, come back here and discuss topics like a grown ass fucking adult.

    Okay so you don't want to go with your first definition. How about your second one? Government controlling speech is fascism.

    Shut the fuck up Donnie. As always you are out of your element.

    This is what Fox News brain rot does. You have no idea what you are talking about but pretend you do.

    Seattle did not defund the police. SPD moved meter maids to SDOT. That’s it. The rest of their budget was INCREASED you dumb fuck.

    Fuck me, if Hershel Walker needs a debate opponent he can beat, FF should be getting a phone call right now.

    Unfortunately, Walker still thinks "a woman is made from the rib of man" is a winning line about trans folk.

    I know Seattle didn’t defund the police because the people realized that the rhetoric got out of hand and they realized Defund the Police wasn’t a good slogan.

    The only definition I have provided is for inherent.

    I'm done attempting to teach you. Enroll in college. Take a class in English. Take a class in Literature. Take a class in ... Figurative language and Nuance.

    Hell, take a class in underwater basket weaving. You'd probably learn something about language in that class as well.

    It's okay to admit if you don't know something. @We Are Borg told me so.

    Oh look, another manipulative moving of the goalposts by the boy, and he is even drawing attention to it. @Bailey is really making a difference in his life. A few more decades of this and he might be able to graduate elementary school. Fucking christ we have the real world happy madison here.

    Haha you fucking Muppet.

    You're the one who came in here trying to make what you thought was a smug told you so. Asking you who on Earth you think it's aimed at isn't putting you in a trap, it's asking if you think digging down is really gonna help with the hole you've already put yourself in.

    So which is it @Bill Carson, we'll go with your ruling here.

    Should we just be going with the general vibe of things, rather than exact definitions? In that case it's definitely fine to refer to these as "don't say gay" laws.

    Or should we go with exact precise wordings? In that case still waiting for you to show who was claiming that people would be arrested.

    Your choice, would hate for you to feel like it's a trap so you make the rules. :)

    Is that why you constantly bring up something I said about members of my family voting for Trump and how I said my family aren't fascists? That's not an attempt at some sort of "gotcha?" You tagging me constantly about something I said that you're purposely taking out of context isn't you playing games? I'm just imagining all of this?

    Wrong thread? We're talking about homophobic/transphobic laws in this one, and right now specifically responding to the question you asked us about arrests of people saying gay.

    You've whined and diaper wet all goddamned day.
    If we're your wife-beaters, and you're this poor put-upon little thing, hop in the rusty pickup truck, and move to the next trailer park over.

    You can call it whining if you want. I call it calling out your bullshit. You and your ilk want to hold me and others to different standard that you hold for yourself. I’m calling it out and you don’t like it because you guys want a fucking echo chamber.

    Not at all, having different voices to discuss with is good.

    What is bad is people whose beliefs and convictions are so shallow that they don't believe it's possible to try and back them up without them calling apart.

    Before we do that I have to ask if you agree with how @Jenee has defined and or described fascism?
