please, I'm begging people to internalize that "fascism" and "nazi" are just used as context-free slurs in 2024.

@AmonMaritza but that's what I'm saying - if they call *you* a fascist and they call a fellow leftist a fascist, it's not a position based slur. It's "your doing bad things"
In the past the left had a definition for what "fascist" meant.

Those words mean something specific to us. To the average lefty they mean anyone to the right of bill clinton.

@AmonMaritza racist is also kind of getting blurred now too because anything a POC doesn't like is now racism

@AmonMaritza @sickburnbro Right. There was a time when even the ACLU would back Nazi groups and their right to do their thing in public. And (((hollywood))) would portray them as laughing stocks. To demonstrate that muh people under our great democratic constitutional republic are strong enough to allow free speech of any kind.
No one‘s laughing anymore.
