I don’t think so, W, because fascism requires a certain set of tools to which only totalitarian states have access. Centralization of control (over the economy, information flow, government data, military/police, science and education, religion, etc) is the issue.
These have not always existed.

Ms. Jamie, I’m shocked to read such an outburst. You are better than that. I defy you to show me anywhere where I have argued that wealth hoarding (or growing wealth inequality) isn’t a significant problem. Why do you dress me in borrowed robes?

Oh dear! An educated mind never believes in something that they don’t understand. That, my friend, is the road to perdition … intellectually speaking, at the very least.

This is my point… if you’re going to suggest such a broad, global statement as ‘every time in history’ you had better bring more evidence than those three Axis powers who all lost the same war.
For making unsupportable global statements, your argument is unconvincing.

Money is not finite.
Wealth is not zero sum.
I am (perhaps, based on probability) further left than most, even on Bluesky, but please …study economics, because this is silly logic based on faulty presuppositions.

Laura lives within an interesting fantasy. I’m sure it beguiles her greatly.

Maine would make a nice addition to the province of New Brunswick. 🇨🇦

“You’re just wilfully ignorant” is where the your ability to respectfully discuss ideas with me broke down. YOU can go support a man who allies himself with convoy-ists, anti-vaxxers, and NeoNazis, and other maga-fuelled traitors. I will support truly Canadian values.

Axe the Tax and build more pipelines isn’t a policy platform. Standing with antivaxxers and Neo-Nazis says much more about who he is.

This is where the Cons will lose. Most Canadians have listened to his endless whining: “Canada is broken, everything is broken.” One can only say that for so long before people start to tune you out and turn on you. Criticism of the gov is good, but there’s no positive policy there, only complaints.

Firm but respectful disagree here, JK. PP has been running down Canada and denigrating Canada for years to anyone who would tell him he’s great. He’s an attack dog, without discernible leadership skills. Reminds me of that know-it-all kid on “The Polar Express.”

“UNCHILDING PALESTINIAN CHILDREN” -
The Israeli and Western portrayal of Palestinian children as adults aims to cover up their murder, maiming and imprisonment. On Feb 7, 10-year-old Rajab died in the occupied West Bank after being shot by an Israeli soldier days earlier in front of his home. 💔
