MODERATORS
Yup, I said the same thing to people around me, when the use of the word "fascist" became a thing in my country. Even clearly moderate opponents were being called fascists left and right. I told people around me that the word would lose its meaning and power. That's exactly what happened, and when an actual fascist came up, you had nothing against him and its supporters transformed the term into a joke.
