Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze pledged on Thursday to stamp out the “liberal fascism” he claimed was fuelling the mass anti-government protests that have roiled the country for more than a week, using language reminiscent of that used by the Kremlin in Russia to target political opponents.

Right wingers and word salad, name a more fitting combination.
- Right wingers and blatant corruption
  
  Right wingers and hate.
- ~~Word Salad~~ Double-Speak
- They speak in mad libs because they know the words people do and don't like, and they are just trying to make those fit into what they're saying.
  They know people know words like fascism and that it's bad, but not what it actually means anymore, so they include it for effectiveness wherever they can.
- It's literally also what the Tankie's call more moderate people. But I guess a terrorist simp has to deflect from that to look like they're different from the authoritarians on the other side.
  
  Go back to reddit buddy.
Liberal and fascist are mutually exclusive.
- Liberals have been the only people to hand fascists power, so not really.
  
  That's not a contradiction. Eating poison leads to death, but you can't eat poison while you are dead. Liberalism tends to fascism, but you can't have liberal fascism.
  Fascism is inherently an anti-liberal ideology. That's a core component of their belief set, just as much as anti-Marxism is. However liberals, especially the middle and upper classes of liberals, have often abandoned their liberal beliefs once their way of life is threatened, and historically they've consistently handed power to fascists rather than socialists. But that doesn't make fascism and liberalism comparable, that's a misinterpretation of their relationship.
  
  "Jedi have been the only people to hand Sith power, so not really."
The world is gradually spiralling down the shitter
- We call it a fascist shit pot now. Gotta use that buzzword.
So not terrorists any more, but fascists...
Holy shit, Trevor Moore is still alive!
- Haha I was going to say that
