I tend to frequently at the moment call every lib/conservative a fascist these days on Hexbear, but honestly you're probably more spot on with this.

The question is if it matters. To me, what you describe is just fascism in the 21st century. Whereas Israel and BJP are more traditional 20th century style fascism. It's a good discussion to have!

Yeah so do I, I called the german green party Nazis the other day, sometimes you just wanna let out how much you hate these people.

Yeah that's what makes the most sense to me too, to say that these people ARE fascist but they're, just, fascists with the material conditions that we have now, which make them not actually resemble or be able to do what old-school fascism actually was.
