No, it’s a related thought that assumes its conclusion, and makes you look stupid.

:person_shrugging:

I don’t think it makes people seem stupid when they make sloppy arguments when dismissing Fascism, which happens all the time; it just makes them seem dismissive of Fascism. I don’t think Socialism deserves much more consideration than Fascism does in that sense. But I’m happy to explain in more depth if needed, as I did.

We all find different things stupid. Personally, I think statements like “I am anti-Capitalist” make a person seem unbelievably stupid.

I think it’s more stupid to assume someone being anticapitalist means they are a socialist.

Where exactly did I say you were a Socialist? You’ve made it perfectly clear you aren’t a Socialist in other threads. Doesn’t make you anti-Capitalism any less moronic.

Your* missed edit window.

Oh, sure, when you say things like:

in immediate reply to me, that’s in no way you linking me to socialism* :roll_eyes:

I guess you’d already used you quota of “tankie” for the day or something. Funny how such a “liberal” resorts to Mccarthyist language as their insult of choice.

Babs echoes some of the weakest corporate-media talking-points attacks on AOC I’ve ever seen, from the Wall Street Journal here:

Oh no, she gave a generic answer! And Babs is concerned she may not have the foreign policy chops! Thanks you so much for bringing this important issue to our attention. We surely can’t survive if Democratic politicians give generic answers to questions!

I am certainly aware that the same media that sanewashes Trump’s incoherence into unrecognizability has been presenting all of AOC’s recent on-mike answers with every tiny hesitation and restatement transcribed. It’s almost as if they have a particular bias in these matters.

Fortunately most people are smart enough to notice this.

Show of hands, who thinks they actually can be sure that if China attacked Taiwan that Trump would commit troops?

It seems there are no hands but plenty of crickets…
