I wish fascism was what these people say it is. They always make everything out to be way cooler than the reality. It’s like when they talk about Hillary Clinton as if she’s personally harvesting adrenachrome from babies or Obama’s Wal-Mart FEMA death camps or whatever
These people’s understanding of fascism is “Government I don’t like”
Everything else is some wrinkly gibberish they farted out while actively participating in oppression and bigotry
I think its even broader than that. More like it’s just “when people get offended at something I say”. Doesn’t need to involve a government, or even any consequences; just expressing that you think they’re wrong is enough to label you a fascist.
it occurs to me that maybe they think this way because so many of their attempts to defend their ideology end with people calling them a fascist and disengaging so they just assume it’s some kind of political debate trump card
