Regardless of its merits it's a fringe opinion that most people disagree with. Every other news story (and a few more besides - microchipping! Pizzagate!) would be on topic by that standard, so we could discuss whether they have merit. The spirit of the rules is clearly against that. I have my own hobby horses that most people disagree with, even though as far as I am concerned they stand on much more solid definitional ground than "fascist dictatorship" - for example, wage taxation is forced labor, so any new policy could be discussed as an interesting new phenomenon of "govt forces people to do X, at gunpoint". But if I'd want to discuss the finer points of whether it's ok to force people to do X at gunpoint I'd go to reddit.
