[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the definition of fascism, a term that gets misused often on here. Government working hand in glove with large corporations to stifle dissent is the text book definition of fascism.[/quote]

You've got the definition right but the application wrong.  "Dissent" is a keyword here.  Disinformation and fake news including foreign fake news is not dissent or honest discourse.  [/quote]

Any tool can be abused. Some tools should not exist due to their potential for abuse. Would you want the [b]Trump administration to be able to censor "disinformation?"[/b][/quote]

This story is about them doing it...[/quote]

Stop being daft. The stories they were trying to stop from coming out, specifically the lab leak theory and other takes on Covid that have now been proven to be either correct or have merit (like vaccines not stopping transmission), was not an agenda being pushed by Trump. You are either are against fascism - that is, the collusion between government and big corporations to stifle opposition and free speech - or you are for it. Seems like they’re a lot of fascists in this thread that like to larp as anti fascist because they don’t like Trump.[/quote]

Public health is an entirely different kettle of fish.  The power of authority to handle public health emergencies has been well-accepted for more centuries than the US has been a country, and unchallenged until now. And the weakening of this authority is something that our children will suffer for in the future.[/quote]

The collusion between government and the pharmaceutical industry is also a text book definition of fascism, yet for some reason “Democrats” who used to be skeptical of big corporations and corporate influence in DC had no trouble with government telling Facebook and Twitter to shut down anyone who questioned the efficacy of vaccines that were being fast tracked by billion dollar corporations in an industry that had a history of shady dealings in the past (the opioid crisis for example).

People who had the audacity to question these big corporations, who had extraordinary financial leverage over politicians and a revolving door between them and the NIH, were silenced on social media under direction of the government. If that isn’t fascism, you don’t know what fascism means.[/quote]

Well said. Add to this, people lost their jobs in medicine and public service for refusing the vaccine. It clearly was a violation of their rights, as one of the most liberal states in the nation reversed that policy and is awarding back pay on top of it. [/quote]
