That's not what I said. Please do not put words in my mouth. That is very dishonest. Just answer my question. You wanted me to discuss this with you and I'm discussing it with you.

Also, I am tired of your insults, as is another person you insulted and we are both going to flag you for violating community rules from now on. I'm told you're already quite the presence in the modlog. You might consider what you say carefully if you do intend to stay here.

Of course, if you don't, have at it. Keep calling me a transphobe and a fascist without any actual evidence to support either claim.

That’s not what I said. Please do not put words in my mouth.

Uh, quote below

So you’re saying people who live in communes and stay away from society and don’t bother anyone are fascists?

Implies that fascists that live in communes and stay away from society and don’t bother anyone are not fascists,

Also, I am tired of your insults,

Good. Go fuck yourself you transphobe. Back to 4chan with you.

another person you insulted and we are both going to flag you for violating community rules

Admitting to that but not fascism? Lmao

You might consider what you say carefully if you do intend to stay here.

I thought I left reddit wait what

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Very well, I will begin to flag you.

Also, I implied nothing. That is untrue. I asked you a question. A question you won't answer.

Clearly you lied when you said you wanted to discuss whether or not communism was fascism. You don't. Discussions aren't finger-pointing and putting words in people's mouths and they aren't refusing to answer all questions asked. Why did you say you wanted a discussion on a topic you clearly don't want to discuss?

Clearly you lied when you said you wanted to discuss whether or not communism was fascism.

You're the only one derailing the conversation off of it. We all know why, I said the quiet part out loud.

Why did you say you wanted a discussion on a topic you clearly don’t want to discuss?

All I want was fascists to admit they are fascists. But that wont happen, at best they'll admit to misusing report functions of the website.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You want me to admit something you yourself said I am not?

Because this is what you said earlier:

Alright sure, you’re just a fascist-apologist. What a surprise.

Basically you want me to lie. Why do you want me to lie?

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Again, dragging the conversation down to semantics, is uncivil conversation a regular thing with you?

Haha, actually I'm not a fascist, just a fascist-apologist :)

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That is what you said, not me.

I never claimed to be either.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn't say I'm a fascist-apologist, I just act like it :)

Great discussion

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It is refreshing. Usually I'm called a fascist (and supporter of genocide) because I'm a Jew and therefore inherently support Israel. It usually isn't because I don't support communism but also don't think communes are an example of fascism.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Again with the derail, it really is the only trick you can do.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You know what else is amusing? I'm having a discussion with a communist in this very thread (a civil one with no namecalling) about why communism won't work just based on specialized and trained labor alone. But that's the typical sort of deceit that communists do, I suppose. Talk to people about the failings of communism.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Haha no I'm not even a fascist-apologist, look dad I'm talking bad things about it haha

Sigh

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well it's true that I don't have the ability to make the logical deduction that you either believe communes are fascist or you're transphobic.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You could've just kept on topic and we'd arrive at the logical conclusion that all communism is fascist. But for some reason you felt the need to stretch it out like this.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don't want to be on topic, you want to be agreed with or else. And since I don't agree that all communism is fascist, because I don't believe that communes are fascist or transphobic (especially not this one)

I'm almost certain you won't check that link, or if you do, you'll dismiss it as off-topic. Please prove me wrong.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You don’t want to be on topic, you want to be agreed with or else.

You wouldn't even know that since you've derailed everything you've touched lmao.

I’m almost certain you won’t check that link

Oh I did. The folks living on the ranch don't even claim to be communist;

"Members of the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch were anarchists, leftists, and antifascists.[2][4] As of March 2020, the ranch had nine residents.[2"

So yeah, again with the derail. You really can't do anything but derail lmao

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait...

What exactly do you think the 'commun' part of 'communist' means? Communes are the simplest form of communism.

And if you agree with me that they aren't inherently fascist or transphobic, then why am I a fascist and a transphobe but you aren't?

Saakto here is either a troll or deranged, so I wouldn't expect much. Check their post history, it's interesting. They keep accusing people of derailing the conversation when they themselves are the only person doing the derailing. Then they get upset and accuse the other of being a fascist or a transphobe, sometimes both. It's bizarre.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty weird. Although they don't seem to be able to come up with a response to my last message to them. I was looking forward to an explanation of why I'm still a fascist transphobe when we're in agreement. Oh well, I've got to get started with morning stuff anyway.
