I disagree.
In my city of Bloomington, IN, we have a city run farmers market with known and admitted members of Identify Evropa (now American Identity Movement).
Digging into what they want mirrors a "white ethnostate" with strong Nazi tendencies. When the call theselves "volkmom" and talk of lebensraum, the idea of fascism isn't some 80 year old quaint idea.
Now, the city cannot remove her, as she has been accused of nothing illegal. And it's a government run market. But last week, was a protest that lead to the arrest (but not detained) of 5 protesters. That ended up in Newsweek.
Where I'm sitting, it's right there and up front.
- Kye 7y agoThis is an example of the generic-ified form being useful. They're not a WW2-era party that's time traveled to 2019, but they tick all the boxes. The person I replied to suggested limiting the term to discussion of WW2. I suggested that terms like this always go generic because the ideas never die with the movement. New movements tend to take on the language of movements that inspire them, or people use those terms on them because they seem to (or do) share many of the same attributes. For example: people who call anyone who suggests a better social safety net socialist, communist, Marxist, or more recently: bolshevik. Where are we in disagreement? Your example is one I would use to support my own point.
