It was Trump's administration that exempted green cards. Not the courts.

You really just need to learn to admit when you are wrong, because constantly trying to move the goalposts isn't getting you anywhere.

this specifically says the language change was in response to lawsuits, and even this was not the end of the confusion over the wording until a new order was issued in mid-February

So what you're saying is the courts didn't change the EO, the administration did. And you changed your claim from "the courts changed the EO" to "civilian lawsuits may have inspired the administration to change the EO"

That's a double whammy of goalpost shifting

the courts had blocked the travel ban entirely at that point

it was changed to get it unblocked

I didn't say it was in response to lawsuits, your own link says that

like, the courts can't change the EO, I never said they could

they can only uphold it or not uphold it, and at that point, they not upheld it

frankly, by your terms, nothing Trump can do is fascist as long as we have a working democracy.

Courts blocked the ban initially on the grounds it went against the first amendment. Nothing to do with harming people with green cards.

And I'm not just asking for policies Trump accomplished. Feel free to use policies Trump spoke in support of as examples of fascism.

I have the answer to this topic.

Fascism is a far-left ideology and Obama is one of them. Trump is a freedom loving everyman.

Haha, slammed with the doublethink. Let me clarify:
You say we should show how his intended policies are fascist. Intended policies are a bad metric, because fascists are known to change these as it suits them. See the issue?

Ok, give an example of Trump changing one of his non-fascist policies to a fascist one.

I feel like you're not listening, you know?

Just to be clear on your end, you're saying this president isn't fascist even though he used his executive power to overstep his constitutional authority and the american people were only protected because we have a functioning court system to check him.

My understanding is that the courts ruled that people with "bona fide ties" to the US were exempted, so I'm not sure you're actually correct as to the reasoning. But just based on what you think, I'd say you're already admitting this president is fascist but using some kind of whataboutism to say he isn't because other presidents, like Bush and Obama, did the same thing

the problem with that is there are plenty of us who called Obama and Bush fascist for it as well

other fascist things -- revving civil asset forfeiture and the drug war back up to pre-Obama levels

Hey, I'm just going by how you yourself are defining fascsim, dude. In your first post outlining Trump's "fascism" I pointed out how Obama is also a fascist under the definition you used, so you relented on that. Then you said Trump is a fascist because your friend is an expert on fascism and says he is one, so I asked you to quote these experts to prove me wrong, and you didn't. Now you say that the definition of fascism is not useful for identifying fascists because a fascist at any time might change all their non-fascist policies into fascist ones. In effect, a fascist can theoretically be anybody, yet suspiciously only leftists are able to detect them, and fascists all coincidentally happen to have right-wing politics that appear to go against fascist politics of the 30's and 40's.

Is that about right?

Again, we're talking about a period of two days where poor wording in the EO led to people with visas and green cards getting left in the cold. And then the Trump administration fixed the wording. And those two days are what you are now complaining about.

"I wanted someone to do something and they didn't... waaaaaah..."

That's not right at all! When you pointed out how Obama is also a fascist, it wasn't under any definition I used. In fact, I was very clear from the start that there isn't a theoretical foundation that fascism sprung from, because one of its core characteristics is that "knowledge is nothing, action is everything". So what I started off by saying was that there is no crisp definition of fascism, and thus the question "is so and so fascist?" will have a fuzzy answer until you're far away from the blurred lines. I since demonstrated by citing my friend and the scholar who was interviewed by Slate (which you dismissed because the interview was published in Slate, not based on his merits or lack thereof) and Wikipedia that what I said from the start actually holds up. Throughout this topic I've talked about defining characteristics, not a singular definition. As a response to your Obama post, I gladly conceded that what you brought up indeed sounded authoritarian (or even totalitarian), but that there's more to fascism than that.

So to clarify, I didn't outline Trump's "fascism", I outlined similarities between primarily his rhetoric and fascism, and you have from the start refused to acknowledged that rhetoric plays a part in this at all. Ever since, you're just trying to set people up in some sort of gotcha! moment to show how embarrassing and wrong the pathetic leftists are. You've continuously dismissed opinions on account of coming from leftists even though the premise of the topic is "leftists, explain this". You've cited Mussolini's doctrine essay even though it literally states that fascism is a complete negation of Marxian socialism, and you just keep on whatabouting about Obama. I get it. You don't like Obama. I'll never agree that he was a fascist president, as he ideologically lacked some core aspects, like the populism, palingenesis, and apocalyptic tendencies. However, like I said, you dismiss those characteristics unless they're evident from some policy, which to me is quite a narrow-minded view. I appeal to authority only in the sense that authority makes a much more compelling case than you do. What you're doing isn't trying to make a solid case, it's just trying to poke holes in well established theory because you find yourself politically closer to Trump than Obama.

Why?

Because you're lying about the scope and time frame, basically.

It lasted longer than 2 days and the administration openly defended the position that green card holders shouldn't be allowed in during that time span. Pretending it was sloppy wording is not being truthful.
---

to be clear to head you off here

the administration said that they were not stopping green card holders after 2 days, but this was not promulgated in their policies until the new EO later the next month. during that time frame, the criteria used was "discretion," meaning green card holders could be prevented from traveling for any old reason. prior to walking back the green card holder policy, the adminstration (reportedly Bannon and Miller) attempted to force Kelly at HS to prevent green card holders from coming in

Calling fake news "real news" is the real problem with this country tho. They equate him to a racist Nazi all the time, yet has done far more for the black community than Obama.

and making up fake news and calling it real news is the true problem with this country.. want proof? go check that (censored due to gamefaq tos) that went to a pizza place with a gun because of pro trump fake news.

So what I started off by saying was that there is no crisp definition of fascism, and thus the question "is so and so fascist?" will have a fuzzy answer until you're far away from the blurred lines.

Ok, so how about you outline your fuzzy definition of fascism so you can stop accusing me of being off the mark?

I since demonstrated by citing my friend and the scholar who was interviewed by Slate (which you dismissed because the interview was published in Slate, not based on his merits or lack thereof)

Actually I dismissed it because you didn't quote from it nor cite it.

Throughout this topic I've talked about defining characteristics, not a singular definition.

All of which I demonstrated are at least equally applicable to Obama.

Hey, if you simply admitted that Obama is a fascist then I would agree that, by your definition, Trump is also a fascist. But you refuse to stick to your own parameters, which is why I keep calling you out.

So to clarify, I didn't outline Trump's "fascism", I outlined similarities between primarily his rhetoric and fascism, and you have from the start refused to acknowledged that rhetoric plays a part in this at all.

Yes, because saying "the good 'ol days were better" is an insane standard to judge whether someone is a fascist and I can't believe you actually defended that. I would argue that fascism is much more vitally characterized by wanting a powerful central government and seizing private industries and seeks to control the lives of its citizens under the guise of national pride. But apparently the "good 'ol days" rhetoric is more important than that?

You've continuously dismissed opinions on account of coming from leftists even though the premise of the topic is "leftists, explain this".

Once again, if any of you were consistent with your definition of fascism and how it relates to Trump, there would be no issue. But in order to do that, the definitions that have been given must cast a wide net to ensnare Trump's actions, but they inadvertently catch many other politicians in their definition. So when I ask, "Oh, so this person is also a fascist?" and they deny it, the only conclusion that can be drawn is they're just making crap up in order to condemn Trump.

You've cited Mussolini's doctrine essay even though it literally states that fascism is a complete negation of Marxian socialism,

And as I've already explained to you, socialism is not Marxism. Marxism is the ideology that spawned both fascism and socialism. And again, it's important to remember Mussolini himself was a socialist prior to his evolution into a fascist. He saw it as a natural progression, and did bear animosity toward socialists afterward, but that doesn't mean that fascism is not therefore a product of Marxism.

You don't like Obama. I'll never agree that he was a fascist president, as he ideologically lacked some core aspects, like the populism, palingenesis, and apocalyptic tendencies.

Yet you will call Trump a fascist even though he wants less government control of industry, he doesn't want to disarm civilians, and he wants to tax people less.

Is palingenesis really so important to fascist doctrine that it makes Trump more fascist than Obama despite how Obama literally used his office to persecute organizations that criticized him?

Not allowing certain media outlets that oppose his views into his press conferences or the press briefings is a good example.

And there's been more real news being called "fake news" than actual fake news

So I give you an actual definition and show examples of how Trump may be interpreted that way, or at least show signs of moving in that direction, and you completely ignore.

Alright, I'll take the hint. You just want stupid or emotional people to fight with so you can go, "see, I told you!" and feel superior. Good luck with that.

I am an alt of a closed account with the user ID 180092, created 8/1/2001. I also own FigureOfSpeech (pending name change as it is over 10 years old). That account was made as a secret alt as I was planning a story project that would have that as its main plot twist. This account was made as an alt of FigureOfSpeech initially after I bought my first machete (now up to 4). I closed my original account (it was called Caelus) a number of years ago and have been using this one as my main, as I liked it more than FigureOfSpeech and it now has much more karma. I also have an alt MattcheteGuy, which I used in a competition where a number of users on my team had Matt in their usernames and I wanted to do so as well. I don't use that one often. I have other alts too that I have stopped using and some that I no longer have the login information for. It is likely that I will continue to use this as my main. I may shorten it after it turns 10, regardless of the fact already have a 10+ account I can name change with, simply because more karma. I have only recently become active on this board. I was semi-active here 4-5 year ago during The Epic Struggle (it has a wikia page that is Google searchable) which was run here (competition I mentioned earlier). If you check out the wikia, you will see that I won. You will also find many recognizable names of users still active on CE. Feel free to ask them about me if you are still convinced that I am hiding anything about my gamefaqs identity.

You are off point. You asked if I was an alt of their's, so I answered with a history lesson, which at no point implied that my mental state was anything other than calm. I had a grin on my face for most of the time I was typing that up, and I could have kept going if not for the fact that I had a bus to catch. If I was angry or riled up, you would know... although sometimes my angry posting looks the same as my stoned shitposting. (In this case, neither).

I said post 2 because it was precognitively clear that it wasn't going to be considered an acceptable answer to you for multiple reasons. My original plan was to actually give a number of one of YOUR posts, but when I was looking for one, I saw post 2 and immediately knew that was the answer I wanted to give, regardless of not being the person who was asked.

Seriously though, check out that wikia. The Epic Struggle community could use more expansion and awareness. The 4th edition is soon to reach its endgame stage and I would like to ensure it continues. If I can help it expand, that would be awesome.

I don't care if I get called an alt. As it says in my forum biography, this account was an alt for... at this point... maybe half? Of its existence? I was in fact partly giving you credit. It just isn't an alt anymore.

If I had to choose:

A) never answer questions directed at others. Never get called an alt

Or

B) answer questions directed at others, get called an alt, cite forum autobiography

I would choose B without much thought at all. Why wouldn't I? Like... is your ability to read people that worthless and garbage that you just assume they'd pick A? I mean sure, I'm hard to read. I've always been the first to admit this in literally every facet of my life. Still, your posting style is so tunnelvisioned. You must be a rigid motherfucker :P. C'mon man.

There are 2 catchphrases that I'm not necessarily known for, but that I feel like I would be known for if I actually utilized them enough for them to become legit catchphrases, as opposed to just things I think and/or say that I would consider catchphrases if I made the effort to make them catchphrases...

"Words are kind of a thing I do"

"I can work with that"

Both have now become applicable within this context, thanks to this post of yours.
