Actually, it recognizes the humor in watching you manufacture history, mangle logic and invent language.

You keep repeating yourself, after being proven badly wrong. The term "fascist" refers to more than Mussolini's political party in mid-twentieth-century Italy. Your failure to acknowledge the fact, unfortunately for you, demonstrates clearly to anyone reading the thread that you are lacking in either honesty or understanding.

Likewise, the eugenicist who misconstrues and misunderstands the principle of natural selection--as you admit Galton did--is not "contemplating natural selection,"

Pure idiocy. The man who contemplates natural selection and decides that it's exactly like a hard-boiled egg, was in fact contemplating evolution, the stupidity of his conclusion notwithstanding. You show a fundamental difficulty comprehending elementary things.

The likeliest case is that you can't shake an emotional conviction that somehow, someway, I'm implementing some sort of attack on evolution. The resulting religious fervor makes you incapable of actually hearing what is said, because the actual content is lost in your own fog of antipathy.

It happens I'm not a creationist, nor a young earther. Would your ears start working if I fired a few earthy volleys at the flat-earth ID crowd to prove my bona fides? Probably, but in my experience it would be temporary. Your emotions are too bound up in the subject to sustain a rational discourse.

When dealing with people like you, smart people are often amused by your struggling attempts at rationality.

The absurdity of such statements is patently obvious to anyone reading the thread. You're only embarrassing yourself.

Even if true, that doesn't mean that the term can be defined to mean anything you want it to mean. Things that are only "similar to fascism" or which "display traits in common with fascism" are not fascism nor, necessarily, even "fascistic." But things that aren't like fascism at all, except in your fevered imaginings, such as feudalism, Victorian England and the Food and Drug Administration, aren't fascism.

The man who contemplates natural selection and decides that it's exactly like a hard-boiled egg, was in fact contemplating evolution...

No, he only thinks he was.

LOL... No. No emotion but amusement. The earnestness in which you hold onto your contentions, even in spite of being blinkeringly wrong, is amusing.

If it makes you feel better to believe that, if it fills some emotional need that you have, then go ahead and pat yourself on the head. My amusement comes from your earnestness in the face of your lack of rational thought, not your opinions on the subject of evolution.
