Y'all don't even know what fascism is, and still keep using that word. Typical 'murica shit. That is not fascism, that is called having an opinion, however shitty it is. This kind of shit borders on censorship, and again, I want to underline that I don't like either of them or their opinion.
freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. Stop being cry babies
Slander: "the action or **crime **of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation."
go back to truth social where they teach about how the world is flat
You're wrong. I suspect that's not an uncommon occurrence for you and that your reaction will be the typical factless rant you people are really known for.
Fascism is all about demonising the 'other'. It doesn't care about truth and facts as long as there are enemies, external and internal, to scapegoat. Khelif is just a good boxer. Do you really think Algeria of all places would cover for a transgender female throughout her entire life, from childhood to when she got her Algerian passport that lists her as female through the 'revelation' that she was somehow male after beating down a Russian Oligarch's undefeated prize fighter? No, but since the BS is out there, Reich-Wing authoritarian shitheads are harping on it to further their stupid fears that there are Transgenders EVERYWHERE.
And I agree with the others. This goes beyond opinion to slander. It's Fascism because in this case, the slander is furthering the idea that transgendered people are somehow evil and wrong and must be opposed by all means ... by attacking an Algerian who was assigned female at birth. Fuck off with that bullshit.
Opinion? Try again. It's called slander.
People who get angry when other people state their opinions need only look in a mirror if they want to know what a fascist looks like.
