    The way people define fascism today? Everything is fascism. It’s fascist for you to even ask this!

      Not really. People use the word in a pretty measured way. Usually people with fascist views just say that because they’re offended at being described accurately and want to try to rationalize it away.

        People use “fascism” when they mean “authoritarian”. But that’s not a fun Italian word with Hitler connotations.
