> I can see that you feel strongly about the equation of "alt-right" with "fascist", It is not that I feel strongly about it, it is that the 'alternative right' ideology is close enough to various fascist ideologies to make the difference almost none.

In this sense I mean that isolating the rights of people based on various characteristics of them (Say, their religion, sexuality, etc.) is very, very wrong -- and the people who support this are against the very tenets of personal freedom.
