What are your biggest scepticism fails in your life?

Wut. Please explain.

Absurdity asked me the same via VM, so I'll just quote that.

"Zen fascism" might be "true" fascism, in that one realizes it's perfectly acceptable to pursue life in an extremely selfish manner because they understand their role within the system at large. Their selfishness takes advantage of the nature of this system.

Or maybe deem it "advanced sociopathy" or something... idk.

Basically it's okay to be a fascist if you know the overarching system will compensate.

I'm not sure fascism is the right word, since fascism can't really be divorced from populism.

Sure it is. If you side with me, you're the elite and perfectly suitable to help stamp out the lesser. Charlie Manson 101.

Then the fascism is just instrumental. You could just as easily be a Maoist or claim to be the Messiah.

I think advanced sociopathy is more accurate

define sociopathy - Google Search

"a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience."

If both of you insist on using labels...

doesn't fit

Even 'advanced,' specifically the "lack of conscience."

I wasn't saying you were incorrect in your views, I was saying that labeling what your views were as any of the above labels didn't fit.
