"Look up fascism in the dictionary. I'm using it in this context which is totally accurate."

before this you said:

"Petroskey is the one making it a political statement in the first place. It's total fascism."

Fascism:

1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government. Oppressive, dictatorial control.

"Totally accurate" huh?

Please explain how Petroskey is a government, how he is suppressing the opposition through terror, how he is implementing stringent socioeconomic controls, etc. etc. etc. Wouldn't Petroskey have to do all this to get to "total fascism"?

thanks for using the word "total" and its forms so often. It makes your statements so much more accurate.
