Comment on Jon Stewart says the media cried wolf with its 'fascist' attacks on Trump

I think the main problem with shouting fascist is not that it’s wrong but that it’s ineffective. You have to address what he’s actually doing wrong and how you would do better. Of course it’s a big problem that he’s incredibly good at spreading disinformation and the Democrats are almost completely media illiterate these days.

I also think Democrats, and especially Lemmy, use it wrong. It’s legit the go-to insult for anyone that doesn’t join in on the circle-jerk groupthink that Lemmy has going on these days.

The word “fascism” had been used a lot in regards to Trump - not because it’s a go-to insult, but because Trump is meeting every characteristic of the word.

Ok, but what about the number of people on Lemmy who use it as an insult as soon as they find out someone didn’t vote for Harris?

Lemmy is a collective of uninformed Maoists. Probably young and never had any responsibility. Wait till they have a family and need to pay taxes. That exorcises the Marxist out of any sensible creature.

Lemmy’s demographics are considerably older than other similar sites like reddit.

Maoism and marxism are different things.
