What exactly are you implying?
I'm saying that fascism is a problem within conservatism. And guys like this are an example.
Fascism is a problem across all over the political spectrum. Look at any tankie post if you want left wing fascism.
Yeah, because if there is one thing fascists have been historically known for, it's been pro-communism. In case it wasn't clear, that was a joke, fascists put communists to death.
Tankies are terrible, but nowhere near as big of a problem. This isn't a both sides issue.
Fascism as a term is vague and isn't limited to any one thing anymore, no one is talking about 1930s/1940s Italy anymore.
Then allow me to define it for you.

Call it neo-fascism if you like, it's the same shit just in modern times.
And yet the same ideology persists.
I was talking more of "They don't want transwomen on the womens fishing team? Clearly fascist!" But even that brittanica article can't seem to come up with one good definition beyond "populist tyranny" which I guess works. And tankies definitely fall under that.
That's its own different kind of bigotry, unrelated to this particular issue.
And this is whataboutism. And again, fascists have historically killed communists, so you're getting confused here. Tankies aren't fascists, they're bootlickers and authoritarians.
