When someone disagrees with you it doesn't always mean they're upset or excited.

# Just like when someone disagrees with you. It doesn’t mean they are Hitler and a threat to Democracy.

# Sure but I think when someone behaves like a fascist it is sensible to point that out.
Speaking at an AFD rally, helping to incite racist rioters, amplifying white supremacists and far-right conspiracy theories on their own media platform, generally advocating for fascist policies like anti-unionism... If someone was doing things like that, as well as some eugenics-adjacent shit, and they also threw a Roman (Nazi) salute twice (for emphasis) at a political rally, then I think the comparisons are quite justified.

Comparing Trump to Hitler is a bit different. He's more like a hybrid of Mussolini and Berlusconi than Hitler, though I understand he is a fan.

# Have you learned some lesson from history about the unimportance of calling out fascists?

Round and round and getting nowhere.

It isn't merely an opinion that Musk behaves like a fascist.

# Actually it is. That's YOUR opinion.
I don't think he acts like a fascist at all.

# Oh I see, you think gainsaying a statement of fact with a cynical opinion cancels it out,
but it doesn't, because we exist in reality.

Fascism is a thing, it is defined by things, Elon Musk does a lot of those things, therefore it is not merely an opinion that Musk behaves like a fascist.

Like, you couldn't offer an opinion that invalidates objective evidence in a legal court, for example.

Or your opinion that lions are not real would not save you from a wild hungry lion, for another example.
