it is not changing the subject ( like you bringing up hitler for no reason)
it is making a inquiry as to how you define these things.
so, we have groups here in america that call themselves " antifa" and routinely goes out and tries to stop conservative speakers .
now, trying to stop free speech sounds like what fascist would do, does it not??
What are you writing about?
I brought up Hitler because he is the epitome of a fascist leader. Fascism is defined as "a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition." By definition, anti-Fascism -- antifa -- is the exact opposite.
There are those in the US -- or "america" as you call it without capitalization -- who oppose the extreme nationalism and racial hatred in the US today. antifa is such a group, and they oppose "conservative" speakers (though they are anything but) who promote racism and nationalism above freedom of the individual. If by "free speech" you include fascism, do you think that should be promoted in a democracy?
I have lived most of my life in the time when "conservatism" meant something:
- Individual Freedom
- Limited Government
- The Rule of Law
- Peace through Strength
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Free Markets
- Human Dignity
Today it has morphed into political suppression of the opposition, unbridled capitalism, armed control of dissent, currying favor with Communist governments, dishonesty, unlimited ownership and use of guns, and other unAmerican tactics. The epitome was the attack on the Capitol to prevent the legal procedure to certify the results of the Presidential election, and the absurd claim that the election was "stolen". These are the tactics of fascists!
Do some research into how Hitler gained power if you want to understand what is happening in the US today.
