I didn't call BenD a fascist, i called the 'Joos' posters on the site he got his graph from pseudofascists. I did agree with JRs labelling of BenD as a technofetishist, and theres ample evidence for this on preceeding pages of this thread. If such labelling offends your sensibilities, best not read my posts.

Sure, anybody can think and post anything they like, and they do. What is not promised is a docile audience, content to sit silent while lie is stacked on lie. BenD can post 'spaceships will save us!', and i can and will post 'grow up, we haven't got any!'
"Wintler2, you are a disgusting example of a human being, the worst kind in existence on God's Earth. This is not just my personal judgement.." BenD
Research question: are all god botherers authoritarians?
