Fascist tries to kill civilians for political beliefs/Most media ignores it

Those in power will protect these attacks for as long as they keep getting reelected. I would like to be shocked but I am not sadly. This is going to get worse before it gets better. The key will be to continue filming this stuff and letting the voters see who is sane. These people need help.

These are not brave people. These are people with mental illnesses lashing out. The more this is filmed, the better.

 

They don't have to be an authority but to push for their authority through violence and intimidation is enough to qualify as philosophically under the term in this case. Their actions are fascistic if they seek to use violence and intimidation to push their beliefs and suppress others, and to establish their chosen politics as the new authority. Furthermore, the person choosing to use violence to push their views IS making themselves the authority in this situation and in similar situations. To use violence against innocents in order to intimidate or kill political opponents, to push your beliefs in such a way, is electing to make your self the judge, jury, and executioner... it is a belief in one's superiority and the belief that one has an obligation and right to enact violence on another that makes that person a self elected authority.

 

You're wrong. See post above. If you're still confused, you're still wrong. Go read the other posts in this argument or even seek help from outside sources beyond a single definition because there are many. Repeat until cleansed of ignorance.

Apart from that, you seem to be eager to downplay this guy's actions. Why is that?

 

We can use yours which I already mentioned is similar to what happened. A tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.

Cut the or out to apply it to this particular individual. They have demonstrated, by their actions, they are fascistic. They have proven their tendency toward strong autocratic control through the use of extreme political violence. I further explained how this was so in previous posts.

This word has many meanings and applications so I am not shocked some of you are struggling. Mostly because many of you have been taught a single way of thinking or you on a deeper level, or very consciously, sympathize with the individual this thread is about.

 

You're just trying to get the label of fascist off him so diligently. I think you may sympathize with the terrorist on some level.

I would offer to help you out of your hole, but you can pull yourself up with your bootstraps right?

If still confused, I likely can't help you. I have used my own debate opponent's definition and it supports my assessment.

And again there is no single definition because there have been many over the years and it continues to evolve in different circles. But I will say that I think it has been defined and I've done my best to explain it. If you think I am wrong go ahead, but I did explain it.
