The ideological etymology I see has all of them having a common ancestor in the French revolution, so they're all closer cousins than anyone would like to admit.
It's the safe space they asked for. The thing is, as I wrote in the Grayson ethic: don't be a fascist, because they never stop being authoritarian just at your enemies.
And for the pedants like me who will point out the subtleties of fascism, I was specifically referring in that passage to people who worship the state and hope the authoritarians will take out your enemies. State worship, creating an US vs them mentality, and authoritarianism being three (but not the only three) elements of fascism.
Eventually, all you're free to say is "good morning. I love the regime. That is all."
We obviously aren't talking about a state here, but the core principle remains.

Gotta be careful of centrism. If the left wants to kill Bob and the right wants to kill jim then the centrist take is to half kill Bob and Jim.
The independent view might be that killing people any amount because a mob wants to kill them is probably wrong.

Bit of a reality check: people acting as if Donald Trump is the first American President to say something ignorant about Canada really don't know anything about the relationship between Canada and the United States.
In the 1960s, old enough for an individual who was born when it happened to have died of old age, the president of the United States at the time made comment about "the tail wagging the dog" what's the implication being that Canada was small and powerless, and should know it's place in the hierarchy of American Continental politics.
In some ways, Trump's 51st state talk is an elevation from being treated like a mere territorial holding that many previous presidents expressed.

The ought-is problem is a major problem -- you can't find right and wrong in the spin of planets or atoms. It isn't there.
The modernists thought you could, so every ideology they came up with ended up being horribly destructive, and they claimed their piles of corpses were acceptable because they claimed to have found morality there and all they found was justifications for whatever they wanted to do anyway.
The postmodernists had ideas that might have released them from modernism, but they ultimately collapsed into postmodernism flavored modernism. Paradoxically, their grand narrative becomes a specific flavor of "there is no grand narrative" and their objective truth becomes "there is no objective truth". If you are certain with religious fervor that the things most people believe to be true or not true, what happens when that becomes what most people believe?

Yes, the problem with marxists is that marx lived in a time where the government represented 5% of GDP or less. In such a world, he might have come to think that capitalism was the only thing that could hold power. Today, some Western countries are as high as 60% of GDP as government, proving definitively that capitalism is longer the dominant power
I was at a circus recently, I saw someone do stuff like this. Maybe she wants to be a circus carney.
Shit, now I've got the Egyptian authorities on my ass.
