  > you should ask the GP about his use of the word fascist on everything he doesn't like. If mirror dot org actually existed, you might want to look into it, because your long list of examples has one related to 1930s Germany, and the rest has nothing to do with the political definition of "fascism"? Your point about legality was valid, but you're undermining it with the sarcasm.

  Nothing deep going on there. Fascism in modern informal parlance is a synonym for authoritarianism. Those who object most loudly to Stalin being called a fascist are usually themselves actually fascists, or stalinists. Everybody else gets it.

      Yes, it has become a general use pejorative. At least in this case it's being used to refer to murderous authoritarians.

  Everything I don't like is pretty broad brush. I have only used it with the Trump regime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur-Fascism https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-suggests-canceling-midterms-1235500336/ https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-su...

I think similar to how AI-generated comments are frowned upon, "this comment was generated by Ai" comments should also be frowned upon. It's really annoying to see a well written comment and replies that don't address the comment but just accuse the poster of having used Ai to generate the comment.
