You see that is fascism: picking on minorities and then accusing them of ridiculous conspiracies to create moral panic while promoting violence as the only solution for this nonexistent problem.
There is nothing fascist about defending traditional family values especially when majority of people in the world think so.

The economic and geostrategic benefits to America of a contained Russia should be easy for even a strategic tyro to see. For one, lower grain prices will reduce inflationary pressures, making the average American paycheck go farther. Secondly, shielding Europe from Russian avarice will open up markets for American LNG once that infrastructure is finished, meaning more American jobs, foreign income, and our replacement of Russia in that role. That also benefits Europe, as its gas supplies won't be hostage to a cunt like Putin.
I notice you have yet to say whether or not you're even American yourself. So until then, you should stick to speaking only for yourself, and even then you should be cautious about running your mouth. So far as I can tell, you're someone with no skin in the game pushing a vapid argument on an agenda written by someone else. Where you from? Where you live now?

Inlfation in the US is caused by Biden's wasteful government spending. Also grain prices aren't an issue as the US is mostly self-sufficient agriculturally.

And there he goes again with his fascism. Gay people are not attacking families so you don't have to defend it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Incorrect. Because grain is a commodity market, higher prices abroad drive higher domestic prices as well -- same as the oil markets. So our self-sufficiency doesn't enter into it. And so far as Biden's "wasteful spending" goes, you seem ignorant of the fact that every single spending bill passed by Congress must start first in the House of Representatives, which is -- in case you're unaware of this fact as well -- controlled by the Republicans. Do you have any more misconceptions that need to be cleared up? I'll be around for another hour or so.
In the meantime, you still haven't answered these questions. What are you hiding?

Actually it is fascist because it's motivated by a fascist desire to control people.

Take out East Asia, South Asia, and North America from 'the rest of the world' who think it's ungodly; and you don't have a majority of the rest of the world left.
