Hello TheFonz,

thank you so much for your post on the lemmy! :)

This is actually a misunderstanding. Not everything is fascism! The fascists trying to take over the US and Europe at the moment are fascist.

I hope this post helped clear things up for you. Have a great day.

Sincerely

trashgirlfriend

That's what I thought. You only have downvotes and you have no idea what the word means. Stay true to your nature, Lemmy.

Yes, I'm familiar with Eco's explanation. I want the people in this thread to walk us from Mussolini to Musk. Because as far as I can tell, anything in online discourse has shown that fascism just means something I don't like.

Supporting authoritarian right wing politicians using his business ties don't count?
