    Did you ask me to elaborate? I can elaborate.

    It’s run by a fascist party, Hamas, who was voted into power by the people. It suppresses political dissent, restricts basic human freedoms, enforces conservative religious norms, rejects modernism, and thrives on military conflict. I’m going mostly by Umberto Eco’s definition of fascism, perhaps yours is different.

    edit seems like parent asked me to elaborate, suggested that I’m unable to, then blocked me when I elaborated

      Not related to hamas but you can see that you perfectly described the united states of america there, right?

      • suppress political dissent - two party system, gerrymandering, brutally ending protests
      • restrict basic human freedoms - such as abortion
      • enforce cons rel norms - have crosses in schools and no different religious education
      • reject modernism - gun laws in a country with a school shooting per day
      • thrives on military conflict - irak, afghanistan, syria, vietnam

        Well no, not perfectly. America is a large place, and some states are less fascistic, some more. The constitution is markedly anti-fascistic.

          Do you see the irony in „not perfectly“? The fact that I‘m not 100% full of shit stating this tells you there‘s something insanely wrong.

      1. very curious how you came to the conclusion that i blocked you

      2. people chanting “from the river to the sea” generally do not support the hamas government

      EDIT: judging by the fact that parent did not respond to this comment (posted within an hour) but did respond to a different reply made a day later, it seems parent assumed I had blocked them and decided to block me
