   Is there some sort of hate watch site where people can look up things like stores, restaurants, products, maybe even celebrities, to see what ties they have to fascism?

     @BrahmaBelarusian Right. I would always prefer to lean to the positive more than the negative.

     But I still see a use for it. Most people who care know the big ones to avoid: Amazon, Chic-fil-a, but what about the ones that don't make the news every other day? I mean sure, you could just assume they're okay, but why not get that reassurance from people who are willing and able to do the deep dives needed?

     @Fragglemuppet I mean all of big tech has contracts with big government, so unless you've got an open source hardware, open source OS &open source or at least small company owned software for all apps of a smartphone & similar with your laptop &/or desktop &/or tablet computer - then you're utilizing a fascist element of our society.

     Beyond which most celebrities use publicity agencies that have contracts with government agencies & thusly they're also engaged in this.

     Many store types having virtual monopolies & govt contracts are likewise participants in this corporate/government merger.

     There are at least a significant number of restaurants that don't have govt contracts & thusly aren't fascist.

     Products depending upon their type can have many non-fascist parts/examples.

     I don't quite understand the point in a website just for tracking what is fascist, as opposed to a independent & small business directory showing the few entities that aren't, but I'm hoping I at least added some principles to help get you to your answers.

     @BrahmaBelarusian But as you say, it's not always possible or practical to avoid everything problematic, and there should be a way of making that point as well.

     @Fragglemuppet That's just it, I've yet to see a business that actually isn't in any way a supporter of some form of the big government & big corporate mergers --- even when it's just in what days they're open that promote Christian privilege, big tech as their app is only on Google/apple as their only way to buy from them with a no exception face mask mandate or that app as their only way to get coupons, or they're got a police & military discount.

     As a homesteader I know there is a path I can take that'd let me, as it does others, pretty completely avoid all of the above entanglements on the up front level but even there, if I earn enough money from what'd be described as small scale side businesses where I'd only be selling to people in person, I'd be then doing bookkeeping to help my household on the tax front.

     This is why if such a list was ever to be created to even somewhat cover this issue, it would need categories for people to understand & agree to what point of this they'd bend to. Many I think would bend on Google/Apple/Microsoft & use of a smartphone, but I'm among those who won't.

     I would like to see something like this started though, especially laid out on a map, because it'd at least help people to really see how overwhelming an issue set this is.
