    It's rather difficult to call someone a fascist because the definition
    of the term tends to be very broad and a moving target. <https://www.google.com/search?q=is+donald+trump+a+fascist>
    Here are some possible definitions: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism>
    I skimmed most of the long list of definitions and found minimal
    commonality between them. As I see it, anyone who fails to agree with
    my politics must therefore be a fascist. Skimming various articles
    that accuse Donald Trump of being a fascist and conveniently leave out specifics or invent their own definition. For example:
    "A New Kind of Fascism" <https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/07/trump-second-term-isolationist-fascism/674791/>
    If we apply a rigorous definition of fascist, then Donald Trump is
    certainly not a genuine fascist. However, if we use the broad paint
    brush found in most such accusations, he's a fascist primarily because
    he has done something that others have found disagreeable.

    Enough politics for today. I'll be busy spending the rest of the
    afternoon troubleshooting my emergency generator which refuses to
    start. Probably water in the fuel and carburetor. It must be a
    fascist generator. Hopefully, I won't need to lift anything heavy.

    Trudeau is nothing more than a Fascist. I cannot see how Canadians allow him to remain in power.

    The facts are that some years ago

    Tom Mulcair, the leader of Canada’s progressive New Democratic party,
    has called Republican frontrunner Donald Trump a “fascist”, and taken
    aim at Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, for refusing to
    condemn Trump’s candidacy.

    “Donald Trump is a fascist,” Mulcair said at an event last week. “Let’s not kid ourselves, let’s not beat around the bush.”

    condemn Trump’s candidacy.

    “Donald Trump is a fascist,” Mulcair said at an event last week. “Let’s not kid ourselves, let’s not beat around the bush.”

    Mulcair also attacked Trudeau’s reticence to speak frankly about
    Trump. “I will not hesitate to point out the fact that Mr Trudeau just shrugs his shoulders when he’s asked about Donald Trump and says, ‘Oh
    the relationship between Canada and the United States goes beyond any
    two individuals,’” he said. “I’m sorry, if a fascist becomes president
    of the United States, I want to be on record as having opposed it long
    before that election.”


    Which is relevant to what exactly? Canada is much smaller
    than USA so there are understandably a smaller number of
    wackos (different in quantity but not necessarily quality).

    I probably should not engage your subject but, since you
    repeated it above, could you cite some fascists policy Mr

    Yup, When I copied from the referenced article I did it twice, my
    apologies.

    The point was intended to refute the original post that "Trudeau is
    nothing more than a Fascist" when in fact Trudeau simply refused to
    comment on Trumps "fascist" acts described as "temporarily ban Muslims
    from entering the country and build a wall along the Mexican border".

    Nice meme but that didn't happen.

    Similar to Gerald Ford, who was an athlete, skier, dancer
    and quite graceful. A comedic parody of Mr Ford as clumsy
    remains in the public memory long after any memory of Mr
    Ford himself has faded.

    That's not a good definition until the boundaries of the state are
    clearly defined. One can't claim that "Everything is in the State"
    without defining "everything". Is it everything within the
    government, country borders, empire, 3 mile limit, National Fascist
    party, Mare Nostrum, Vatican, Europe, entire planet, or something
    else.

    Also, what defines "the State"? Mussolini, The Grand Council of
    Fascism,
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Council_of_Fascism>
    Parliament, various ministers, courts, military, etc. If any two of
    these would disagreed, would they both be "against the state"?

    We agree.  Everyone claims to know it when they see it but precise
    definitions are elusive. Then and now.

    It's remarkably similar to certain fools on this forum calling all of
    their adversaries "communists" or "socialists."


    Very much so! Though socialist isn’t really a term of abuse in Europe, and Communist fairly hard to find frankly having its heyday early part of last century.

    Futurist movement, said clearly and often of Fascism,
    "Everything is in the State. Nothing is outside the State.
    Nothing is against the State."

    That's not a good definition until the boundaries of the state are
    clearly defined. One can't claim that "Everything is in the State"
    without defining "everything". Is it everything within the
    government, country borders, empire, 3 mile limit, National Fascist
    party, Mare Nostrum, Vatican, Europe, entire planet, or something
    else.

    Also, what defines "the State"? Mussolini, The Grand Council of
    Fascism,
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Council_of_Fascism>
    Parliament, various ministers, courts, military, etc. If any two of
    these would disagreed, would they both be "against the state"?

    Mussolini tried to clarify this in 1932:
    "The Doctrine of Fascism" ><https://www.wm.edu/offices/auxiliary/osher/course-info/classnotes/thedoctrineoffascismedited.pdf>
    I have some opinions about this document, but I don't want to get into
    yet another endless political discussion.

    to form a government, as the many and varied political
    parties could not form a governing coalition


    Drivel: I bought myself a new pair of work boots: ><https://www.wolverine.com/US/en/hellcat-ultraspring-6-inch-carbonmax-work-boot/194713313141.html>
    I've been wearing them around the house to break them in. On my way
    down the wooden stairs, I did an un-impressive slip and fall on the
    green slime growing on the stairs. New shoe soles tend to be VERY
    slippery. Nothing broken or damaged, but the hard landing will
    probably produce a few bruises. I'll be painting the stairs with
    vinegar when it stops raining (probably Thursday).

    Lucky that there was no damage. When I fall, I usually do damage. I
    recently got up too fast from the Catrike and passed out again. I must
    have drug my right ankle over something sharp or jagged like I did a
    few years ago. It'll add to the scars running down my shin from that
    earlier episode.

    My daily small dose aspirin made it look far worse than it was after
    an hour of riding back to my truck, so when I got home I got another
    lecture from my wife about my carelessness. Spending a minute or so
    sitting up from the reclining position before I stand up seems to deal
    with the problem, but sometimes I'm in a hurry. I drink a lot of water
    on my rides.

    I had one of those falls a few weeks ago, also on wet wooden steps (my
    porch) and also with relatively new boots. A friend had just arrived
    to hike with me, so it was somewhat embarrassing, but there was no
    real harm other than the most minor bruise.

    But I took it as a warning and bought some adhesive traction strips
    (grit applied to fabric) made for that purpose. I got a pack of eight,
    IIRC, each about 1" x 8". I applied them carefully about an inch
    inboard from the edge of each step.

    Within about a week the adhesive was failing. So I added a few brads
    to each strip to hold them in place. That strategy failed too. I'll
    have to look for alternatives.

    In my experience the 3M safety tape lasts quite well (multiple years
    outdoors).

    Please note that I've been going up and down my stairs for 51 years

    Roger, epilepsy-like seizures and it adds no increased risk of dementia.
    They were similar only in the fact that I could not remember the seizure after it passed. The medication has absolutely NO side effects concerning dementia.

    Traumatic brain injury even concussion increases ones risk of dementia.
    Clearly ramps up with frequency see football be that American or English
    plus Rugby for sporting examples.

    And epilepsy though that does diminish with time. Ie the risk is mostly in

    Non epileptic seizures tend to have a cause ie low blood sugar and so on,
    in general if one is on medication it’s Epilepsy, the doctor maybe being
    nice as I’d assume you’d loose your license in uk need to be at least a year since last seizure.

    Roger Merriman

    The seizures are caused by damage to a particular area of the brain and
    this causes NO increased threat of dementia which is caused by formation
    of plaques in the veins and it has been 12 years now with no additional symptoms. And I was not allowed to drive for a year and used my bike for everything. This despite the fact that they hadn't discovered my having seizures yet and probably being as much a threat on the bike as in a car.
    I am under the care of a professor of neurology at Stanford and he is
    quite honest about any additional possibilities and as long as I continue
    to take the pills which run about $3,000 per year, I have no problems.


    Again it’s not the Epilepsy that increases the dementia risk but the brain injury even if mild. Fairly well documented and more so as more research is being done.

    Frank, can you tell me when I did NOT respect education and training?

    Frequently. For just one example, you claimed you enrolled in some
    college but quit almost immediately because you already knew more than
    the professors.

    I recall he did say something like that, but I couldn't find it. This
    is close enough:

    09/18/2022 <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/H5UQas_9HLA/m/p9rFmANKBgAJ>
    "I dropped out of the city college because it was adding absolutely
    nothing to my career goals and wasn't that more important? Having a
    piece of paper saying that I could read and write would have allowed
    me to assume a VP position in my company. But I was perfectly
    satisfied being an engineer and project leader."

    Personally, I think it's more likely that you either never enrolled, or >quickly realized you'd flunk out and therefore dropped out.

    Tom dropped out of high school and apparently didn't obtain a GED or
    HSE:
    <https://www.acalanes.k12.ca.us/domain/799>

    You've also said you didn't need education because you "read out" three >libraries.

    06/07/2022 <https://groups.google.com/g/rec.bicycles.tech/c/QNPNSofg064/m/Xaamy15iBQAJ>
    "I would warrant that I've read more than 20 times more books than you
    have. I read out three public libraries, the military library and all
    of the books I used to gain the knowledge to become an engineer."

    Which is relevant to what exactly? Canada is much smaller
    than USA so there are understandably a smaller number of
    wackos (different in quantity but not necessarily quality).

    I probably should not engage your subject but, since you
    repeated it above, could you cite some fascists policy Mr
    Trump instituted in USA? Maybe I missed that.

    Slocomb is deteriorating rapidly and it is plain that the dementia is taking over.


    By Gorry! You are right! Assuming, of course, that your definition of >>>>>>> dementia is not believing a single word that Tommy posts.

    Roger, epilepsy-like seizures and it adds no increased risk of dementia. >>>>> They were similar only in the fact that I could not remember the seizure >>>>> after it passed. The medication has absolutely NO side effects concerning dementia.

    Traumatic brain injury even concussion increases ones risk of dementia. >>>> Clearly ramps up with frequency see football be that American or English >>>> plus Rugby for sporting examples.

    Roger Merriman

    The seizures are caused by damage to a particular area of the brain and
    this causes NO increased threat of dementia which is caused by formation >>> of plaques in the veins and it has been 12 years now with no additional

    Again it?s not the Epilepsy that increases the dementia risk but the brain >> injury even if mild. Fairly well documented and more so as more research is >> being done.

    I'm sure that you have a far better education in dementia than a
    professor or neurology at Stamford University. I am equally sure that the small lapses of memory due to normal aging, you are willing to chalk up
    as the onset of dementia. Let's just say that you may have your "well documented" opinion since you don't know the cause of dementia



    Ask one if you wish, or ask dementia organisations/charities.

    dementia has many risks but one of them is a brain injury particularly
    would seem trauma even mild ie concussion.

    As ever it’s a probability than a certainty and so on.

    I agree. That's because Stanford (not Stamford) does not have a
    position for a "professor of neurology". The closest approximation of
    the title might be the interim department head of the Department of
    Neurology and Neurological Sciences at Stanford. His full title is:
    "Interim Chair, Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences.
    Professor, Neurology, Pediatrics, and by courtesy, Neurosurgery,
    Epidemiology and Population Health, and Human Biology.
    The Beirne Family Professor of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology.
    The Dunlevie Family University Fellow in Undergraduate Education."
    (I added four periods to make the full title somewhat easier to
    decode).
    <https://med.stanford.edu/neurology.html> <https://med.stanford.edu/neurology/faculty/aboutus.html>
    Tom, I don't think the department head worked on your problems. Just
    note that I can't provide the correct title unless you either look up
    the title, or provide the name of the "professor".
