Why don’t you guys check out the El Salvador thread to see Nep’s latest adventure.

Also, the initial statement I personally jumped in on is wrong. To say "Fascism is not a European thing" is literally false. If it's not European then what is it? Maori? It's a false statement. Clear speech should be utilized.

No credible evidence exists of pre-Māori settlement of New Zealand; on the other hand, compelling evidence from archaeology, linguistics, and physical anthropology indicates that the first settlers migrated from Polynesia and became the Māori.

Let's play a game Nepenthe. Any society can be fascist if you try hard enough, even Maori and video game forums.

Let's look at the definition of fascism: 

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right[1][2][3], authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[4][5][6] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy

So, let's look at those things and compare to tribal cultures like the Maori:

• dictatorial leader (unelected chiefs) ✅
  
• centralized autocracy (hapū were responsible for administering resources, land, and important community buildings) ✅
  
• militarism (War is woven into Māori traditional stories, including the creation myth) ✅
  
• forcible suppression of opposition (The functions of the hapu were the control of a specific territory and defence of that territory, if necessary by war, against any other group) ✅
  
• belief in a natural social hierarchy (Māori society was built on a complex social structure rooted in genealogy and mana) ✅
  
• subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race (Traditional Maori society emphasised the rights and obligations of persons as members of village, whanau and hapu rather than as discrete individuals) ✅
  
• strong regimentation of society and the economy. (Māori society before European contact was stratified into three social rankings: the rangatira or kāhui-ariki (leaders), tūtūā (commoners), and taurekareka or mōkai (slaves).) ✅
  

Now let's look at Resetera moderation: 

• dictatorial leader (unelected General Manager) ✅
  
• centralized autocracy (unelected moderation) ✅
  
• militarism (moderation organised in rank with captains and admirals admins in the hierarchy) ✅
  
• forcible suppression of opposition (just try criticising the moderation) ✅
  
• belief in a natural social hierarchy (existence of prominent members) ✅
  
• subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race (banned for dismissing concerns) ✅
  
• strong regimentation of society and the economy. (Banned for wrong think, banned games, banned topics) ✅
