Grandpa we live in the age of AI Slop. You just type a prompt and you get a silly image.
The bait is small, weak, and shriveled on this hook. Try again kiddo.
Congrats you put more thought into it than the staffer who made it or Trump who saw it and said "Post it online." It's a meme you dip.
No. My hatred for communism is too strong, I'm afraid.
One could argue that this was more anti-Russian than anything else but I don't feel strongly enough to make an argument of it, so it suffices to say "fair enough."
There is a difference between killing a group of people "because fuck 'em, that's why" and "because killing these undesirables will make society better," which I argue is a feature - not a bug - of the weird inverted Hegelian/Weberian political systems of the late 1800s to the mid-20th century. That said, your point is still valid and taken.
This is also a very good point. The Nazis were an odd amalgamation, but my view is their genesis comes from the same fucked up interpretations of Continental philosophies of the time period as Marxists. Fascism did not develop separately from Marxism, but in response to it, and shares many features. However, this is a philosophical discussion that probably doesn't belong here. I think it's good enough to say you've made some very valid points and I don't need to delve into my autistic obsession with Western political philosophy.
He can't even be assed to use AI to cosplay a fisherman.
Prove it.
Pretty much. Thucydides, Machiavelli, and Carl Schmitt would agree.
If you're going to be putting disparate groups in one big tent you need good branding.
MAGA 
No, what? I wasn’t saying anything about @Conan
every time I take a political compass test I’m like one click right and two clicks libertarian, so they’re calling me centristThe incoherence of talking as if there really are only 2 "wings" of politics is silly. You get silly results that look like this:

Is Libertarianism far left with Anarchism? Centrist? No, no, that spectrum is all wrong! Libertarians are far right because of freedom! Then where do Anarchists go?
Everyone can agree they hate liberals.

If only they could agree on what liberals means.
After a while two big parties dominate politics for a while. A "center left" party and a "center right" party; whatever that happens to mean in that political system. Everyone else is thrown into the "far left", "centrist", or "far right" bucket depending on which of the 2 political parties can pander to them.

Trump's "Make America Great Again" is solid gold-plated political branding. No complicated "isms", spectrums or wings. Do you: like America? Want it to be Great? Think it's damaged, but can work Again? Wanna Make it so?
The Nazi German economy was remarkably similar to the CCP economy.
I'm not fond of the terms right and left because they're never really clearly defined and more often than not subjective. I just put it as right=capitalist. left=communist. I wouldn't say either describe themselves as anything like right or left wing, they were just given a label by the west (US, uk, france). also describe the similarities of the CCP economy to the nazi economy you have my attention at that.
One click right, two clicks liberty, but how many clicks on the z-axis?
Oh totally. My phone sucks and isn't very responsive anymore and I can't be bothered to spell check so fascism must be right wing!
Fascism originates out of left wing political ideologies in Europe. I'm really not sure how you can say it's right wing when they were competing for the same voters at the same places as each other lol I'm not even going to get into German monarchism aka the actual right of that time in Germany that the commies always conveniently forget existed
My issue with tests like that is that they're never clear about the hypothetical in which these issues exist and are scored. Like am I supposed to answer the questions about the usage of state power or military force in relation to my view of US politics or geopolitics as they exist in real life? Or am I supposed to be answering them in a purely hypothetical ideal society where the government represents my views, preferred outcomes are a guarantee and I don't have to worry about commies slinking into power and abusing it against me? Because my answers to political compass tests are vastly different depending on the answer to that question.
Like Null on the abortion issue. What race is it.
Trump hasn't started a war. He is making hardball threats. It is the North Korea gambit. I hope he meets with Kim again soon.
