I normally would not reply to someone who equates my blog posts with the ravings of a megalomaniacal fachist, but I will at least clarify for the benefit of onlookers that all three of these points are false. I handle account deletion and GDPR requests all the time, and every email you get from sr.ht (1) is not a marketing email and (2) can be trivially unsubsribed from, with the exception of payment notifications - which is not only allowed per the GPDR, but a lot better than silently charging you a recurring payment forever.

Trump is not a fascist. He's not far-right. Mere nationalist tendencies do not make one a fascist.

From wikipedia:-

"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, Marxism, and anarchism, fascism is placed on the far right within the traditional left–right spectrum."

Refusing to concede a fair election, using gerrymandering and electoral fraud to keep a conservative minority party in power, obstructing the political process, packing the courts as a political weapon, not to mention open racism, a cult of personality, fervent nationalism, and tacit endorsement of political violence? If you compare the rise of European facism to contemporary trends in US politics then the parallels are pretty stark.

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck... it is, at the least, a precursor to fascism. It doesn't happen all at once, and if we wait until it's plainly obvious to call it like it is, then it'll probably be too late. And even if you don't want to call it facist, it's out of line to compare this shit to my personal blog. That's a baseless character attack, which is a dick move, not to mention against the HN guidelines.
