In a lawsuit, Lauren Pisciotta alleges the star sent her lewd texts and performed sex acts while on the phone with her, according to US media.
She claims she was fired in 2022, but that a $3 million (£2.4 million) severance package was never paid.
The BBC has contacted West’s lawyer for a response to her allegations, but has yet to receive a reply.
The lawsuit was first reported in the US by TMZ, and later confirmed by Rolling Stone, The Wrap and US Weekly, which says court papers were filed on Monday in the US.
I think I know more about fascism than you, having been really interested in the subject in the past.
“Terrorism” as commonly used (suicide attacks etc) is, in fact, asymmetric warfare. And in emotion it’s an individual going against a mass. It’s the opposite of fascism.
“Terrorism” as Stalin’s repressions, or jailing random people for words, or police not touching violent groups harassing someone, etc - yes, these are normal for fascism.
I think this has been a long and monotonous exchange, so one question - what are you expecting to gain from this conversation? And another - could we please cut there?
Sorry, your arrogance doesn’t actually mean you know better.
Mussolini was known to use terrorism all the time. That’s literally what his blackshirts were known fore before he seized power.

But please do tell me Mussolini, who came up with the term ‘fascism,’ was not a fascist or that his tactics weren’t terrorism. That should be fun.
As for what I am expecting to gain from this conversation? Just correcting your false and/or silly claims for other people’s benefit since I am assuming you are the sort of person who never admits when they’re wrong, especially based on your silly “I know better than you” comment at the outset.

You didn’t look at a single link, did you? That’s the only way you couldn’t see that you were wrong. The first link even had ‘terrorism’ in the URL.
How about rather than insult me (I have flagged you again), you explain to me why either Mussolini didn’t use terrorism or why Mussolini was not a fascist?

This is what you wrote:
The links, which you clearly are refusing to read, so I’m not sure why you’re telling me what’s in them, show that asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism was exactly what brought Mussolini to power.
Again, I know that you will never say you were incorrect (I doubt you ever do), this is for the benefit of others.
And I have flagged you again for incivility.

Flagged again for incivility. If you wish to explain how Mussolini did not use asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism in order to rise to power as a fascist leader rather than continuing to insult me, please do so.
Because, again, this is the “fucking quote” from you:
That is what Mussolini did before he rose to power. As the links discuss.
None of which Mussolini could do before he rose to power, hence the asymmetric warfare.
So, feel free to keep insulting me, but you’re still incorrect.
Mussolini used asymmetric warfare in the form of terrorism to rise to power.
Mussolini was a fascist.
Those are simple facts whether you like them or not.
This is only your opinion whether you like it or not, and I don’t care since it seems to be like talking to a wall.
Since you deliberately ignore that the difference between symmetric and asymmetric warfare in my division of “terrorism” is not in having governmental power, but in linear logic versus suicidal logic, or optimization versus unpredictability, but that’d be too deep.
By the way, in natural languages no sequence of words has a clearly defined meaning, so when you argue, you don’t press as if an argument could be “won” or “lost”, you ask for specifics and try to find your own error first, or try to explain yourself more clearly, as I did before calling you names. If you act otherwise, then any intelligent human can assess you well from that alone.
I’ll address the other thing:
I hope you realize you can’t police anyone here.
You may consider this whatever you want, but 1) technically one can see removed comments, 2) you’ve read them all and can’t change that, 3) this isn’t worth anything to me personally as a social action.
