This sounds dangerously like fascism IMHO.
- JulianMorrison 11y agoAbsent the kind of hyper-exaggeration that makes people invoke Godwin's law, no, it doesn't. Your freedom of thought and expression is not imperiled if you get bounced out of a private club for being hateful.
- mark_integerdsv 11y agoThis has nothing to do with Nazis, please get a grip. Fascism is a clearly defined concept, and there are many examples other than Nazism. In point of fact: it is not necessary to invoke Nazism in order to define fascism. The kind of autocratic and intolerant behaviour that you suggest is clearly reminiscent of fascism. Anyway, I have seen the arguments you raise before and I don't really see that we'll arrive at any kind of agreement here.
- MrZongle2 11y ago"This sounds dangerously like fascism IMHO." No, no, no... you've got it all wrong. See, smart and good people would be deciding what is acceptable and what isn't. Totally different.
