What specific thing did I say that makes me a fascist?

Why stop there? We should provide free housing for everyone. I would gladly stop working so hard and accept a free house.

What is your definition of "fascist"?

As well you should have been. If you can't see how this is problematic then I truly think you should sell professional help. You are not the morally justified party in this scenario.

How does the cost break down in terms of private insurance versus single payer+private insurance? Basically what I'm wondering is if I currently have private insurance and it covers me for most things, what would be the difference if we switched to single payer (which covers far fewer things) and then I was also required to supplement with private (to fill in the gaps for what used to be covered but now isn't under single payer). I suspect single payer is great for people who don't currently have private insurance, but far worse for people who do.

Do you like to eat? Because the people hanging out with that dirt are the people producing your food. Have some respect. Your cities are far more fragile and dependent than you like to pretend.

This right here confuses me. The people claiming that government numbers can't be trusted are the same people who regularly rolled out government covid death numbers are the gospel truth during covid. My personal belief is that those numbers were wildly overblown, so I'm willing to believe that in this case you might be right and the migrant numbers are also overblown. That being said you can't have it both ways. We're the covid death numbers false?

What do you make of people coming from continents besides South America? Do we owe it to Russian or Chinese citizens to offer them asylum? From my perspective asylum is something you offer your direct neighbors who are fleeing threats on their lives. Offering asylum to literally any citizen of the world seems a bit extreme. If someone in China fears for their life, certainly there are closer and more accessible countries they can flee to.
