We as a society keep coming up with more and more esoteric definition of "fascist" just to avoid having one that fits modern day political actors. I feel like the word has far more meaning here, where it's used to describe a

If they were going to change their mind, they likely would have already. If you're watching people starve to death, and defending it as normal politics, you don't care about others. You don't get out of harmful relationships

Yes, the only role of the government was to issue an SSN which has been explicitly said shouldn't be used in such a manner[1]. It is a real pet peeve of mine that people take such hard stands on issues like this when it's so easy
