Nah. Facism has lots of prominent birthmarks. National populism. The cult of personality around an adored leader. A unifying cause against created enemies. Militarism and paramilitarism. Obsessive, fear-fueled NatSec. Demonization of human rights. Party capture of government enabling revenge based politics for starters.
- unethical_ban 3y agoI was being sarcastic. Honestly it was a low-effort post that doesn't belong on HN. You are correct. I was mocking the user above for suggesting that a vaccine mandate was "fascist".
- canadiantim 3y agoI never claimed it was fascist, just that it was leading Brazil down a dark path. The reason I believe this is because the pandemic is long over... there is no need for a mandate anymore. It's excessively heavy-handed government forcing an ideology onto everyone in that country.
