I think this statement is completely wrong and America is on of the most resistant countries against fascism because of its adherence to freedom which fascist really dislike.

There is systemic racism everywhere you look; criminal justice system from top to bottom, the job market, school segregation. The political system routinely demonizes foreigners in racist ways that lead to unaccountably brutal and pointless wars, one after another. We are resistant against ‘fascism’ only as the convenient boogeyman of propaganda.

I cannot and don't want to deny the problems you are describing, but if you restrict speech, you are handing these institutions all they need to continue these practices.

>I think this statement is completely wrong

then

>I cannot and don't want to deny the problems you are describing

Not only that, but the parent comment wasn't suggesting restricting speech in any capacity, explicitly or implicitly.

Normally I'd ignore a one-off dishonest or misleading comment, but this post has many different comments by you that could be categorized as such.
