THIS. I don’t install social networking apps on my phone (except for Voyager, somewhat recently, if that counts). I tend to find these conversations somewhat hard to follow, because it seems like different people use different versions of the same word… Or maybe the definitions evolve too quickly for those who don’t follow it very closely. Idk, I haven’t really narrowed it down yet.

But yeah… I honestly don’t really know how to identify a fascist. I think it has something to do with right-wing authoritarianism, but I’m not sure I’ve personally met any right-wing authoritarians, so I’m probably missing something.

And yes, I have attempted to look it up. The results were not very helpful. I assume it’s similar to looking up what Nazis were – quite different from how people use the word now.

Thank you for understanding “normal people.” 🙈
