Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.

imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.

It’s semantics. The German and American fascists all pull from the same ideological and rhetorical playbook.

Veneration of the national security state. Zealous religious orthodoxy. Obsession with loyalty oaths and ethnicity sorting. Reflexive xenophobia. Institutionalized quackery.

It’s all the same shit. Same as Apartheid Africa. Same as Kuomanting China. Same as Pinochet’s Chile and Milei’s Argentina.
