minus-square@StringTheory@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-22 years ago“Fascist” is an adjective. Like “green.” A bad example: l don’t know what’s specifically green about it if virtually all plants look that way. Everyone is using a fascist tactic. It doesn’t become a benevolent tactic because everyone uses it. It’s still fascist.

Humans have been rollicking around brutalizing each other since before we climbed down out of the trees, and using fascist tactics long before the Romans came up with the term.
