    Well, it kind of is. Because it sounds to me like you support fascism.

    Do you think that Trump, and the GOP, are fascists?

      Well, it kind of is.

      In what way are my political leanings relevant to the claim that you are leeching off your admin and other mods because you’re a coward?

      Do you think that Trump, and the GOP, are fascists?

      Of course they are.

        And do you think, without being specific, that stopping fascism requires more action than standing on a street corner protesting with a sign?

            Your political leanings are relevant to a conversation about politics. You are making very personal remarks and so I can too.

              That particular bit of discussion is unrelated to politics. It has to do exclusively with your unwillingness assume risk and strategy of harassing others instead of stepping up and taking charge yourself. Aka cowardice.

              Again, just facts. You can disagree with them if you want, but that won’t change reality.

              And do you, without being specific, that stopping fascism requires more action than standing in a street corner protesting with a sign?

              Yes, of course.

              But it doesn’t require 100% of everyone to take more action than that.

                I don’t need 100% of everyone to take action. I just need to reach the small amount of people who need the extra push.

                Regarding risk, the least risky approach is the best. We have also established that failing to aggressively moderate comments about pushing beyond peaceful protesting poses no credible threat to any of the admins or moderators.

                And again, each time you try to insult me, it just makes me more committed.

                I think we have reached the end of this conversation. I wish you the best in your crusade to do nothing to stop fascism. 💋

                  Which you can do by hosting your own instance instead of leeching.

                  Regarding risk, the least risky approach is the best.

                  Your admin and other community mods agree.

                  We have also established that failing to aggressively moderate comments about pushing beyond peaceful protesting poses no credible threat to any of the admins or moderators.

                  And you can solve that by starting your own instance and employing your own rules. Until then, you’re a coward and a leech.

                  Misread. No we haven’t. See the seatbelt analogy.

                  And again, each time you try to insult me, it just makes me more committed.

                  To being a leech, yes, you’re repeating yourself.

                  I wish you the best in your crusade to do nothing to stop fascism. 💋

                  If I’m doing nothing, you’re doing less than nothing.

                  Come talk to me when you grow a spine and start your own instance. Then you’d have a leg to stand on in this discussion.

                  Until then, you’re just the person goading others into taking action while you hide on the sidelines. But it sounds like you’re okay with that.
