am i? they implement draconian mass surveilance measures, reinforce racism, and tolerate a shocking degree of transphobia. when i look at the things the labour party has done in my life, i see a littany right-wing populist actions that undermine left-wing populist movements. if we use the definition of fascism that fascism is right-wing populism undercutting left-wing populism, i find it hard to see Labour as something other than the slick clean wide smiling acceptable version of Britain’s Ur-Fascism spearheaded by the Conservative and Union Party
Yes, you are. If you go purely on definitions and comparisons to actual fascism, you’re wide off the mark. But sure, “vibes” is where we are these days with reasoning.
Thanks for the useless comment. I edited the typo within seconds but the way thr fediverse works, edits don’t broadcast. I’m sure you knew that already seeing as you know everything.
It bugs me sometimes that Labour gets to claim it’s centre-left when it so consistently is fascist.
You’re diluting the term fascist.

@makingrain ‘deluting’ is not a word. Well, it could be. It could mean to take someone’s lute away.
I believe you mean DILUTING, which is the act of reducing the concentration or strength of something by addition of a moderating agent.
In this case, I might use ‘diminish’ instead.
