Wha???? You are interested in opinions of people who will validate your opinion? Shocking and totally unlike you except it is everything you post. Honest question to you Red: Do you ever read material that challenges your beliefs?

Here, this should go up your butt sideways. Reich, another intelligent man, nailing it…., more confirmation bias from Red. Tired of me and my one side consistency? Yeah, how dare I be consistent in my opinion, in my belief as to what Trump represents, how dare I be consistent for all these years? And upset you, a delicate genius perhaps? Well, complain to the administrators, get me banned if diversity of opinion is such a huge problem for you. Good luck, chump….

Yes, this video is trash. There are no "five characteristics" that define fascism. If you ask 10 experts to define fascism you'll get 12 different answers. The wikipedia page for fascism has over 20 different definitions from various political scientists, most or all with PhDs. The term may have had an actual meaning 60 years ago but language is fluid and over time it has become nothing more than a pejorative. Okay, so you found an expert in things they hate to say that hate Trump. Meh.

You're a smart guy. If you think Trump is a real fascist then would you categorize him in the Italian/Spanish school of fascism or the German fascism that we term nazism and why?

Kudos, this one is a bit different. So do you believe that Trump is raising elites up or tearing elites down?

Any effect Trump has is purely a happenstance product of his self-serving interests, which are mostly ego-driven and without care of anything other than greed. He will build up or tear down elites based on the day but for the most part he builds up elites, especially shady ones who stroke him.

Fully agree. Good post.

I'm pretty sure that I am left of The Thriller politically. He's a mainstream Democrat.

You can check it yourself, but The Thriller is more statistically likely to resonate with identitarian characteristics than you do.

Searching for usage of the term 'diverse' comes up with 48 for The Thriller but 28 for you.
Searching for usage of the term 'black' comes up with more than 200 for both of you but for you the 200th post had a date of 15-Aug-18 while The Thiller's was more recent at 19-Jul-18.
Searching for usage of the term 'white' for you the 200th post had a date of 2-Jun-20 while The Thiller's was more recent at 5-Nov-21. (he really likes that one)

The frequency of The Thriller classifying people by their skin color and/or gender is higher than yours. He is more likely to see people as a class rather than a collection of individuals than you are as evidenced by frequency of term usage. Sorry if that hurts your feelings but he is more collectivist than you and less individualist than you. Classically speaking, on the scale between Progressivism and Liberalism, he's farther toward Progressivism than you are.

1) You obviously aren't factoring in my pre-crash posts.
2) I don't see that as being a reliable measure of leftist beliefs/positions

That said, you do you.

I wasn't rating leftness, but progressivness. Resonance with collectivisim is the determining factor on a liberal versus progressive scale, and The Thriller is in the progressive left camp, not the super-left,or the ultra-left, or the classic-left, or whatever metric you want to judge leftness by, but his collectivist tendencies mark him as more of a progressive than you are.
