@shadmbrooks Under threat of social ostracism. Because they can’t handle just avoiding association with such individuals they have to force others to avoid them as well for fear of being judged guilty through association.
@shadmbrooks I for one don’t mind referring to people by their preferred pronouns. Or treating people in accordance with their gender Identity. It’s the threat that if I don’t comply with the dictates of a group of people who would demand I deny reality and publicly prostrate myself.
@BillyBaldwin A third is that Fascism uses government apparatuses to control the economy through chroneyism as opposed to direct central planning. Another way the american left is more akin to fascists.
@BillyBaldwin Another is that communism doesn't factor in race when they talk about their struggle. In that case, the American Left has more in common with fascism.
