I'm so tired of fascists

+ #antifa

#fascism is a little bit more complex than authoritarism, it has #racism #homophobia #sexism #abilism a huge dose of inequality and oppression of the weakest in it

Then just say "authoritarian bigot". When some people say fascist they just mean bigot, others just mean authoritarian, and still others just mean, like, conservative or something. In any case, when a word is misused, it's far better to fall back on using its definition directly.

I think we're in a memetic technobarbarian fasciocapitalist expression of the apocalyptic capitalocene, just to be optimistic.

A funny human degeneration

I don't know what those terms mean even less than I don't know what the term "fascist" means.

you know who else bans words, alex?

fascists, that's who

Bro people are still allowed to use those words, they just aren't getting free money from the government to use them. Would it be facism if Donald Trump banned the word "nigger" from appearing in government reports? That's censorship too!

Ok, but not every authoritarian are fascists.

They are not synonyms.
