you are. you're assuming the other person doesn't know that stuff for no discernible reason.

i would use the word fascism as shorthand and i'm well aware of what you're talking about. manipulating people isn't new, a certain flavour of how to do it commonly gets referred to as fascism or populism, etc . your opinions on how to categorize things in a "better way" aren't particularly interesting to me.

hang around here awhile and you'll wish you had $5 for every clever duck who thinks they have better ideas about what words to use and why. sirziggles will talk about that shit until he's blue in the face and none of it is interesting.
