How exactly do you define fascism though? Seems like that term gets used quite a bit.

Not this awful argument please. Why do liberals always come with the “everything I don’t like is fascism” argument when someone argues against fascism.

Sounds like you don’t have a definition either. The problem with a loose definition of fascism is it gets used to justify lots of atrocities. Putin used it as a justification for invading Ukraine, for example.

There are literally entire books written about fascism, by fascists too. Try the doctrine of fascism for starters.

The problem with your argument is that it’s giving carte blanche to political zealots to resort to shooting their opposition in the face because it’s “ok to shoot fascists”, and also apparently ok to label your opposition as fascist without having to define that label or justify your labeling. Why does nobody ever answer that question? Seems like every time I ask this question I get some variation of “found the fascist”, or deflecting like you’ve done. Why don’t you just admit that you don’t have a practical definition of what it means, and that you use the term to justify violence done by your team?

Why don’t liberals understand that there already are definitions for things such as fascism?

And why can I not do both? Both be violently opposed to fascism and also be fine with violence against my political enemies in general? There are plenty of justifications against other political enemies besides calling them fascists.
