Editing your own comments

Try to keep this to a minimum, especially on other peoples' talk pages as the constant notifications can be annoying. It's been days since you left that comment, there's no need to edit it especially when you aren't changing the meaning. Plutocow (talk) 03:29, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

I just wanted to edit it a bit since it wasn’t what I was trying to say before. Rational Dude (talk) 04:17, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

What the hell was with this edit?

You broke an inpage link and external link for seemingly no reason? Plutocow (talk) 03:37, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

That edit was a mistake, I was editing on mobile. Rational Dude enter thy lair 20:55, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Oh you’re taking about the loser stuff. That’s from an extension I have, it converts the names of people like trump to drumpf and Kanye to douchbag. I probably should’ve checked before editing. Rational Dude enter thy lair 05:01, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Xi Jinping is a fascist.

You revealed the reason for blocking me as follows: defending Japanese imperialism.

What the hell are you talking about? You don't know how much I hate Japanese fascism, and how strongly I'm not critical of LDP in particular?

For Koreans, Chinese CCPs are fascists who threaten Koreans, just like Japanese LDPs. Umaru16 (talk) 07:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

When I say that B.R. Myers is not a fascist, I didn't claim it in defening Japanese imperalism, it's my own analysis. It was I who first created an article that harshly criticized B.R. Myers in the first place. I'm in the camp against Japanese imperialism/fascism in Korea. Umaru16 (talk) 07:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Japanese or Americans may think Xi is a communist, but it is a Cold War geopolitical illusion. Putin is a neo-fascist, not a communist; Xi is China's Putin, Xi is a neo-fascist. Xi's policies are close to Japanese Shōwa Statism or KMT Chiangism, and there is no sign of Maoism. South Korean wiki sees Xi and CCP as defacto state-capitalists/[Sino-]conservatives/ultranationalists. Umaru16 (talk) 07:19, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

No, I'm not a tankie. I said that because you didn't implied that people who defended showa statism aren't fascists, but showa statism is a form of fascism, so people who defend them are by proxy fascists. As for Xi Jinping being a fascist, he is right wing but I couldn't find any articles labelling him as a fascist.

Also you can't just add your own analysis, you need to add sources and citations to the article. And don't keep adding messages, just make one single message. Rational Dude enter thy lair 13:20, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Here's what the Washington Post's 2022 Opinion said: "In 2009, when I began to more frequently describe China as “authoritarian” as a broadcast correspondent for Al Jazeera English, some editors pushed back, believing it was too much editorializing. We have since become more comfortable with regularly using the designation, in media coverage and beyond. But as journalists and athletes head to Beijing for the Winter Olympics, it may be time to reassess and consider calling the Chinese state what it is fast becoming: a fascist one." - The president of a fascist country is a fascist politician. Umaru16 (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Alright, its good you have a citation. Remember to add it to the article. But don't randomly add them in next time without good sources, and don't accuse people of being tankies or nazis, that's a serious accusation.Rational Dude enter thy lair 22:16, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Strikeout humor

I removed it on Tucker Carlson because several editors these days look down on adding strikeout humor. 2607:FB90:3939:1997:BCBF:E74:810C:5E15 (talk) 23:38, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok, but it was a joking reference to them both being white supremacists. It’s one of my better jokes. Also you should probably be logged in since it’s easier for contributors. Rational Dude enter thy lair 23:40, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Section blanking

Why did you remove the section on Israeli fascism? Carthage (talk) 03:30, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I didn’t remove it, I moved it under Trumpism. Rational Dude enter thy lair 03:33, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

But why. A somebody. (talk) 03:35, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I felt it would be better on the bottom as the final section instead of being weirdly placed in the middle. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 15:37, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Macron

Could you explain in what way Macron is left-wing? As to your edits on secularism and his wife:

1. there is a lot more to the debate around how to use laïcité, which is supposed to ensure the liberty of thought and conscience of all by making religion a private matter, which can't be forced on the public.

2. I'm skeptical of outright mentioning the accusation, it would be better to do it in a "Private life" section. New world (talk) 18:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I added left-wing activists because he engages in basic social left wing policies despite being a liberal.

And I didn’t say she was, I left it as a mention of the accusations. And we don’t need a “private life” section, we mention the personal stuff in the opening section. Plus it’s not like doxxing or anything, you’re taking this way too seriously. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 18:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Macron also has a private life, and what am I taking too seriously? He was a social-liberal under Hollande. He is now essentially another Giscard d'Estaing, centre-right. There is much I could say about him being a social-liberal, but I would probably go off-topic multiple times. New world (talk) 18:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

You changed your comment, so, to respond to your new comment: If by social you mean societal and not economic, then yes, he has done societally progressive reforms, but even there, he tried to solidify his centre-right electorate composed of people in retirement by doing immigration law, which was described as an "ideological victory" by National Rally itself. New world (talk) 18:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

At least keep secularism and left wing activists because he does count as part of those groups. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 22:06, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

I am OK with secularism, though I will probably add nuance, but left-wing activists is just ridiculous, as I pointed out already (The Category does not even exist). New world (talk) 05:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Turns out it does exist, just that you forgot the -. New world (talk) 07:23, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

It does exist, it’s on you for not paying attention. If a category/link is red then the page does not exist. It’s obvious to notice. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 13:23, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Even if it does exist, that doesn't make it less ridiculous to add that category to the article. You wrote "Category:Left wing activists" on your second edit, a page which doesn't exist, a red link, and looking at the version of that edit, I thought the category doesn't exist. I didn't see your first edit, where you wrote "Category:Left-wing activists". New world (talk) 17:59, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

RE Secularism: I haven't gotten around to it myself, but I think there could and should be language and a citation about how Macron's commitment to French secularism is inconsistently applied to Christians and Muslims. A cursory Google search showed there are sources to help demonstrate this, although I'd stay away from stuff like the Middle East Eye and such. It's more credible to cite something else.

Don’t forget Al Jazeera and TRT World. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 14:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Simple error in typing, but your edits keep making it worse and difficult to edit. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 19:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

In what way? I reverted myself accidentally, sorry if that caused you confusion. New world (talk) 06:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the reversions didn’t help. But it’s okay, I myself have the issue of dyslexia, and that combined with the confusing editing on mobile didn’t help. We need brain! ^{Give us brain!} 15:04, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
