Fascism is ultranationalist, collectivist authoritarianism. Silicon Valley is definitely not ultranationalist, and for the most part not particularly collectivist. Certainly no one in silicon valley is calling for corporatist autarky, nor would you find much support for mass militarization of society or paramilitary violence. Technosolutionism is not fascism, libertarianism is not fascism, cancel culture is not fascism, socialism is not fascism, laissez faire capitalism is not fascism, letting fascists express their opinions is not fascism, censoring fascists is not fascism. Of course this is semantics, and when most americans talk about fascism, they are talking about something else which may or may not have some vague resemblance to fascism, but meaningful dialogue is impossible if we can't agree what it is we're discussing.
