All I hear from you and your ilk is "personal insults".  I challenge your intellectual honesty, I hold your duplicity in contempt.  I also challenge your assertions in so doing.  In reducing these posts to "personal insults" all you are attempting to do is invalidate a claim without addressing it.  You're transparent, be aware of this and stop wasting our time.

Sorry no, there is no such thing as "anti-fascists".  Both they and fascists are merely fascists.  The target of your fascism, or the end of the spectrum it originates from, does not mitigate the ultimate end game.  That being violent subjugation of viewpoints you find unacceptable.  You, and any who defend this concept, are no less fascist than the brown shirted SA member of the NKVD commissar.

No more than claiming the guy who follows ISIS on Facebook is a member/sympathizer. 

Merely stating my claims are unsupported does not make them so.  The readers perception is their reality and I would never attempt to cater to the "reality" of a person such as yourself.  You are no less blinkered than any other radical ideologue.  You are the person who can castigate the US for oppressing its citizens while lauding Castro or the Chavez government in Venezuela, a la Jeremy Corbin.  Intellectual consistency is entirely subjugated to ideological purity.  Feel free to vomit up yet another long winded rebuttal, I can punch holes in your inconsistencies all day.

A moderator once asked us not to let discussions devolve into bitter pissing matches. 

I do not personally insult you, or go on and on about your "intellectual dishonesty" and how I hold you in contempt. That is emoting, not reasoning.  It is not "punching holes" in my inconsistencies.  It is just bad behavior.

Recognizing that I do not return insults, you appear to have shifted tack now, addressing not me, specifically, but others like me. It is from my "ilk" that you receive personal insults. (Those, somewhere, who have "castigated the US while lauding Castro" or claimed liking a facebook page constituted membership in ISIS.) So you can claim they said or did something and then hold me accountable because you've grouped me with them.  I am pretty sure the moderators will shut the thread down if that continues.  

Why not give this a rest for a couple days?  Then come back and we can discuss sensibly the question of whether people who oppose fascists are really fascists too, and whether collapsing these opposites into the same undermines the ground for any sensible ethics. These are interesting and valuable questions worth pursuing.
