IMO it is perfectly relevant in relation to Doc B. He throws around the facist card like I throw around the FLP card.

Some other posters on here don't and misuse it rather dumbly. Mostly on the hard right, (e.g. Trudeau is a fascist, Biden is a fascist) but we also have one on the left who throws exaggerated hyperbolic roundhouses.

Justin Trudeau ordered the bank accounts of ordinary citizens seized, with no court order nor even formal charges. Just an executive edict from the office of the Prime Minister. Banks either complied or they lost their license to operate, as well as their officers threatened with arrest for failure to comply.
What do you call that, MD?

Not remotely "fascist".
The projection by hard right wingers is almost comical...would be, if it didn't fool so many gullible people.

The only thing “comical” in these threads is your remarkable consistency making excuses for the very worst vices of the left.
‘pretty darn reasonable’?!! Ayfkm?!???
I’d love for you to wake up one day unable to access your money, because DJT said you are a terrorist. Oh, no court application necessary, the new rules are if the Executive determines that your accounts should be seized, that’s all we need!!!
I don't think this is the right frame. Zelenskyy needn't offer anything Putin "will accept". Putin's military needs to be defeated. Aggression can't be rewarded.old salt wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 3:58 pm If Zelenskyy does not offer an escape route which Putin will accept, the US will eventually go to war in Ukraine, along with some or all of NATO.
That will provide an opportunity to see if the use of tactical nuclear weapons can be limited to the battle space.

That's what's missing in you right wing folks, any sense of willingness to be accountable for your actions.
And this was pretty darn reasonable set of consequences, far preferable to sending in the military to bash heads, maybe shoot a few protestors who refused to move.

So next time BLM burns down a store, can President Trump go ahead and ask Treasury Secretary Mnuchin to seize all BLM coffers, without so much as a court warrant? Just give Stevie M the word and let him bankrupt the entities and people?

If Putin then decides to use a nuke, that's when we declare that the Russian military has 24 hours to leave Ukraine and that anything firing at NATO's air cover or at Ukrainians will be destroyed immediately, and any identifiable Russians and military equipment not going the right direction after 24 hours will be destroyed immediately or confiscated. We don't retaliate with nukes and we say that loudly to the Russian military. But we destroy them if they don't turn tail or immediately surrender to the Ukrainians forces on the ground. We make it clear that they are welcome to surrender.
If they go nuclear again, katy bar the door, but we give their military an opportunity to revolt, the Russian people an opportunity to revolt.
We and the rest of the West are already at war, but by proxy. It's important to win it decisively. There are immense consequences of not doing so.old salt wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:22 pmYour frame of reference will take us to war.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 4:14 pmI don't think this is the right frame.

And, at least in my opinion, "BLM" was not the perpetrator of those burnings. But if you're asking me whether those who actually did burn down buildings should be subject to confiscation of their weapons, bombs, petrol, etc, you betcha. And I'd be fine in such extreme situation freezing the assets of anyone actually funding those bombs, those flames.
I'd prefer that sort of remedy to marching the military on them, shooting fellow Americans.
But that's me...would have to pass legislation first.
Want to see real fascism?
Head to Putin's Russia.
I'm prepared to do the same thing I described if nuclear if Putin resorts to chemical/biological. Don't retaliate in kind, but give the ultimatum to the Russian military to desist and turn tail, or surrender. Make sure they hear you loud and clear, but then destroy any who don't comply.
What are you getting at here? As MD said earlier today, you can't see the picture inside a 1000 yard view. You realize it discredits the opinions you are trying to make because they are so demonstrably hyperbolic. How did someone who was raised and lived in NY for so long become such an extreme member of the left?Brooklyn wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 6:30 pm France24 news is reporting tonight that thousands of men are fleeing Russia and crossing into Turkey to avoid the draft. I imagine that this news must be disturbing to those American right wingers who condemned those who fled into Canada to avoid the draft. Amirite?
