History & Politics: Fascism

It’s always a real joy when you try to actually explain something or have a civil conversation, only for them to completely ignore the point and just double down on their own nonsense 😍 (they don't have to agree, but this is a different story entirely). And of course, it inevitably devolves into a total circus...
I stand by what I said, and honestly, I can't imagine handing out a ban for something like this personally—unless it was strictly off-topic, though if no one was discussing gender reassignment surgery, I'm not sure how it could even be flagged, hmm...—but as a moderator, I should have been sharper and anticipated where this was heading, so please, feel free to strip my permissions:

And then, of course, it always devolves into nothing but trolling.

The points you're making mostly hold water, but given the flow of this discussion, the post you wrote just wasn't appropriate for the context. We're done here.
