    If only there were a sort of “search algorithm” capable of searching a catalogue of interner sites…

    He’s fascist-lite. Claims to be anticapitalist but he claims liberals are idiots and he takes money from Saudi Arabia.

      Hey man, you’re the one who made the claim, I was just asking for some support for that claim. /shrug

      He’d fit right in over on Lemmy.ml! 😉 Honestly though, if he’s anti-capitalist that doesn’t seem like a contradiction, since liberalism is a capitalist ideology.

      and he takes money from Saudi Arabia

      Oof. That one sucks. That said, there is an argument that I’ve seen about the role of comedy in helping to modernize a culture. Whether that’s possible when following strict censorship however, I’m not sure. The whole Riyad comedy thing certainly does feel gross.

      Regardless, “fascist” has a specific definition and I don’t think I’d agree that Bill Barr falls into that category, even “lite.” But I only have a passing familiarity with his work, so I could very well be wrong.

          Saying you don’t like liberals doesn’t mean you won’t vote for them when the alternative is fascism though.
