Whereas your use of “a group of people from multiple ethnicities, genders, sexualities and creeds” is code for:

> People who agree with my political ideology.

A woman of color that held heretical beliefs contrary to your orthodoxy would be no more welcome than anyone else.

It’s telling that you argue that your opponents are “people who want to silence, suppress and destroy anyone not part of the dominant group”, and then immediately turn around use that assertion to justify the necessity of silencing and suppressing those not part of your dominant group.

> If you have a truly diverse group of people, they will not suffer fascists in their group

Not sure why one has to jump straight to fascists.

Shouldn't a truly diverse group of people always include people with views that you disagree with?

Otherwise we're defining a diverse group as 'looking diverse ' yet all thinking the same.

I think it's helpful when seeing the word "fascist" in 2022 to not take it literally. It now simply means "people to the right of me".

It's amusing to me that you comment complaining that fascists will seize power given the chance. I have seen the same thought process but pointing at wokism instead of fascism. The parallel is so strong I had to reread your post to double check which side you were arguing to support.

Well, you wasted no time whatsoever in playing the Nazi card.

If you're willing to hear a counterpoint: I disagree wholeheartedly with your worldview, and yet I support your right to express your views. See, I'm not looking to "silence", "suppress", or "destroy" you, even though I disagree with you. Please make a mental note that people like me exist and not everybody who disagrees with you is a fascist.

I’m not talking about silencing people I disagree with in terms of opinion. I’m talking about fascists disagreeing that certain ethnic/sexual/gender groups should be alive or allowed to thrive, or have certain rights.

If you think holding views like that is OK, you walk, talk and quack like a fascist.
