That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

As opposed to the post I am commenting on? :D
As depicted very well in this article:
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions
You‘re redirecting the conversation towards the dems instead of answering OPs question or engaging in any meaningful conversation.
So yes, in strong opposition to the article you are commenting on.
Which one fits this definition better? The original post that takes one single odd piece of evidence in the form of Musks controversial "Nazi salute" and asks questions about whether r/conservatives would support overt Nazism and even abandons the facade and answers its own questions by saying we should rename the subreddit?
Or my comment that is very clearly hypothetical and primarily intended to make fun of the original post (since I did not know the term "JAQing off" and I find it more fun to create a comment people either have to think about or hypocritically criticize for the thing they are doing themselves, instead of being a nerd and linking to obscure wikis about argumentation).
You are projecting my dude 🤣
Yours, obviously. Conservatism is the political „right“ wing. Fascists are the „extreme right wing“.
Asking if a very close relative to fascism is going to do mental gymnastics to somehow normalize even more fascism is neither new nor is it controversial. Thats how it went for more than a hundred years.
Then trying to steer the discussion towards the US democrats (still right wing from an objective position) is not only unproductive, it is obvious trolling.
What I dont understand is that your other posts dont seem to fit a classic fascist troll so I suppose its either a misunderstanding, a pedantic trigger or the account was hacked.
I genuinely wonder what kind of echo chamber you would have to live in to think saying "normal right wing ideology is very close relative to fascism" is not controversial.
I am not trying to steer the discussion. It is Satire. Showing people how stupid the argument is by applying the exact same logic the post uses to their own favourite party to make them think of the counterarguments on their own.
So it is untrue that a large percentage of the conservative parties worldwide are rightwing extremists? It is not true that fascism by definition shares large parts of its ideas with conservative parties? It is for example not true that a large portion of the german fascist party consists of former right wing party members?
I think we both know where this ends my friend. Your mental gymnastics are insufficient and I‘m no longer willing to provide a platform to your fascist propaganda.
We are more.
