If that's what you think, than I see why you think people think you're a fascist Without a doubt there are people on the Internet who use that word in this way It's certainly not how I define it What are your beliefs?

Yeah, it is, I'm saying that you've defined fascist in a circular way. Anyone who disagrees is fascist, well ok then I guess we're all fascists What do you *believe*?

That was quite a contortion of what I said. Would that be a postmodern interpretation?
