"Cultural Appropriation"

[Shell B]

That is neither new, facism, or of the left.  Nor is it what Benny pointed to -as- the new facism of the left...which is what -I- contend doesn't exist.

The aggressiveness of it certainly feels new. Yes, it is fascism or at least attempts at fascism. Neither side has been successful at actually being fascist.

Do you have an opinion on that, which is what we were discussing?

Nope. I don't have to have an opinion for every nuance of the discussion. I was responding to one aspect of your conversation, about which Benny's statement makes some sense. Don't mistake that for agreeing with Benny or disagreeing with you on the topic. I'm simply pointing out that the far left is indistinguishable from the far right in many aspects. If right wingers are fascist, so are far left wingers.

Nutjubs from both sides have done strange things without it being indicative of facism in either side.

It's always been indicative of individuals on each side of the spectrum trying to push for their distinctly fascist agendas. Of course, these are the crazy outliers, but let's call it like it is.

I would, however, like to point out that we do not need to refer to some right wing nutball shooter...at present, to establish where any facism might actually lie.  We have theocrats in office.  We have an alt-white potus.  We have a democratic party courting fascists -and- fascism in order to chase the vote of "the other side's moderates".  Hillary fumbled when she accurately described these people as deplorables.  That was the problem..not that they -were- deplorables.

Where you have to point is irrelevant. Far left, far right–they're all fucking looney tunes.
