        Have you read the same article?
        The founder hosted a debate with an open fascist then gave him a platform on the FUTO YouTube channel.

          Do words mean anything anymore? That is an argument for them being fascists. But how are they “openly” fascist? Where is their statement, where they openly state “we are fascists”?

          Because they might be, but I don’t think they ever openly said so.

              Exactly my point, and yet the commenter claims FUTO do that, even though they obviously aren’t, because who would.

                But if your roommate says he isn’t a thief, however he always hangs around with the local gang and continuously brings used stuff that he has no way of legally acquiring since he doesn’t even have a job. I don’t know man, you have to start asking questions.

                Mike is not a nazi, he just goes to the nazi bar because he likes the beer.

                  says he isn’t a thief

                  Well that’s the entire issue, isn’t it? If he says he isn’t a thief, then he’s a thief who clearly isn’t open about it. Just like Mike isn’t openly a nazi, he’s just a nazi who’s lying about not being one.

                    Mike is “more or less” openly a Nazi if he frequents the nazi bar. Don’t need them to outright say heil Hitler to see what crowd they promote and attract.

            I think that’s a pretty extreme bar, but I agree 2 YouTube discussions doesn’t make a fascist. At worst it makes a Gavin newsom or Joe Rogan.
