So am I allowed to say that Quackers is literally a fascist yet, or is he still circling just close enough to the mainstream that this would be taken as a childish pejorative rather than a statement of fact?

I dunno. Isn't fascism usually related with anti-Semite opinions?
Maybe we should design a new form of fascism, which would be of course related to Muslim religion or something.
But he deviates from the norm in a different direction.Quackers is probably more mainstream than I am, yet you have never called me in such way.So am I allowed to say that Quackers is literally a fascist yet, or is he still circling just close enough to the mainstream that this would be taken as a childish pejorative rather than a statement of fact?
You sound like the type of person who'd give the House of Lords all its old powers.Kaiserguard said:We already have 'right-wing' populism (Le Pen, Wilders) which is essentially fascism without its militarism (due to lack of war memory) and with an added Anti-Arabism and Anti-Turkism masked as opposition to Islam.
(scarequotes on 'right-wing', because as a self-styled rightist, I believe that populism and nationalism are fundamentally incompatible with actual right-wing beliefs that stress aristocracy)
As Tak says, different kind of departure from the mainstream. You're all aristocracy and tradition, Quackers is more blood and soil.Quackers is probably more mainstream than I am, yet you have never called me in such way.
Most fascist movements tend to be anti-Semitic, although unlike nationalism it's somewhat incidental to the ideology. Usually it's what about the Jew is taken to represent- the foreigner, the financier, the leftist- rather than Jews in and of themselves. Nazism seems to have been unusual in taking racial anti-Semitism as one of its basic premises, although of course it quickly found imitators.I dunno.

Of course you can, because "fascist" is a popular umbrella term describing everyone who is not far-leftist or is not extremely politically correct.

It's a curiously mixed bag sticking under the heading "Muslim". By one (informal, non-govt) count, there are some 400 000 people in Sweden who have immigrated from well, predominately Muslim countries. When Pew polled Europe for Muslim sentiment among immigrants, it transpired that not really more than about 150 000 people in Sweden self-identified as Muslim. So that seems to leave us with a quarter millions people who have their origin in someplace mostly Muslim, but not really identifying as such...I don't know what to think about Muslim immigration to Sweden, though―are they, generally speaking, hostile to Sweden's more secular and less religiously conservative institutions? What are they doing, if anything, to change it? Coming from CBN, it seems like fearmongering. I mean, I'm Mr. Free Market, but comparing Sweden to North Korea or the USSR? What nonsense!
Thank God a sane conservative. We missed you!
Quackers seem to be stuck to the status quo or the rearview mirror depending on the topic. I haven't gotten the wholesale engineering of society vibe from him.So am I allowed to say that Quackers is literally a fascist yet, or is he still circling just close enough to the mainstream that this would be taken as a childish pejorative rather than a statement of fact?
