I know what fascism means, but I'm pretty sure you don't.

It's when a movement has no real ideology and is about gaining power through deception, manipulation, and intimidation. The emotional pressure points are usually about racism, paranoia, xenophobia, and nostalgia for past golden age (which likely never existed).

You've gone for the classic paranoia over Jews thing, pretty on the nose if you ask me. You likely have some weird nostalgia over the Soviet Union, which likely never existed in your lifetime, and you've likely never even met anyone that lived in that country. But you likely have been made to believe it was a past golden age.

You probably believe countries are somehow being manipulated by the Jews, that's the paranoia and xenophobia kicking in. You hate global order.

You likely latch on to the words of demagogues like Hasan Piker.

There's no real ideology in your movement. There's words about socialism spoken by millionaires that are promoted by billionaires. But deception and lies are a big part of fascism. You might support theocratic and fascist regimes elsewhere in the world, like Iran, or Hamas. You might even support Russia a fascist state.

Even if you don't personally believe these things, a lot of people in your movement do. Your movement engages targeted harrassment and intimidation campaigns, so you know what will happen to you if you step out of line.

Let me ask you this, if your movement tells you to vote Republican, would you do it? What if Tucker Carlson was running and promised to "stop the genocide"? Would you align with those people if the rest of your peer group went in that direction?
