    Thank you, I will read more about this.

    “Fascism that you happen to agree with is still fascism.” Do you truly believe that those calling for oppression against fascists, become fascist? We must be using different definitions of fascism, unless you’re saying that us making them the out-group is the same. That doesn’t ring true to me. Are there examples of this from history?

      Whatever tool of oppression you are going to use is the exact same tool that will be used against you.

      Paine’s message is “destroy those tools so nobody can use them”.

      Popper’s message is “use these tools until you face no oppression”.

      Popper was a fascist.
