  Please don’t diminish the word “fascist”. We have plenty of actual fascists in governments of multiple countries all around the world. We have a real problem right now.

  If everything is fascist, then nothing is fascist. It’s the boy who cried wolf. And it gives freedom to actual fascists to continue being fascists. Because if you call them out on it, they brush it off like “Oh you people say EVERYTHING is fascist these days!”

  And the problem gets worse.

    This is called a ‘Hyperbole.’

    I didn’t realize I was giving fascists a reason not to stop being fascists.
