Sure…

“More fascist” is something that you can’t pull back, clearly you accepted the dumb opinions from the right wing and conspiracy sources. Until you finally noticed that was wrong and now you want to pretend that you are not a swallower of right wing and conspiracy media. As pointed already, no such quote was made by a founder and that is not what the WFE is doing.

The sad thing here is that just like in the case of Nitrogen in rivers or [Rachel Carson](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/crazy-lies-haters-threw-at-rachel-carson-25183450/), you will be back with the same right wing trash as if it was not explained many times before how the right is manipulating guys like you.
