@rms@thatguyoverthere Richard, you usually have good points, but you are incorrectly using the term "Fascism" to describe "right-wing populism"
Fascism is a collectivist, pro-union, socialist, totalitarian and nationalist movement by definition
I don't see any those descriptions on Trump or Bolsonaro except nationalism. Not much used about Putin but the Nazbol leader, Edward Limonov, was opposition to Putin until death
Just using the word "nazi or fascism" to anything "right-wing" it's a bad idea overall, like saying "communism" to anything "left-wing". And you know because you were used to be called communist for decades by media
You may think this strategy would promote the center, but it doesn't. If people keep calling moderates or non-radical people as "communists" or "fascist", they will end normalizing the term and even sympathizing because you are causing a "us" vs "them" situation
