@MR_E @tante I suppose my point, and the reason I commented, is that with all that's happening in the world at the moment.

Calling 'sovereignty' a fascist word seems a bit.....daft. Faffing around arguing about the decorating when the roof has collapsed kind of daft.

@MR_E @tante

Yes, a straightforward, what used to be known as, a conversation, usually clears up misunderstandings about meaning and intent.

Wasn't it always that way?

@tante

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a minute.

1) words can be used by anyone, and a word such as sovereignty isn't right wing/fascist at all. It's just a word, with a meaning, used by people of all stripes.

2) Look at the Q bit of LGBTQ..... Words CAN be reclaimed, even when they are 100% pejorative. Trust me on this, I'm one of the ones who reclaimed it.

3) It's not unusual for fascists to use the word 'and' too. Should we all drop that as well?
