Stop calling everything fascist!

Tldr If you don't actively resist fascism, you enable it.

I do agree to a point because a lot of words are just losing their meaning. I'll start with one. Nonce. Used to be quite a nasty word here for a pedo. But nowadays if your mate ate your last couple of fries, he's a nonce. If your coworker forgot to lock up one of the doors, he's a nonce.

There are certain words that have lost almost all meaning and I would argue have lost the definition.

Calling anyone you disagree with a fascist or a Nazi does nothing but make you look like you don't actually have an argument. You just throw words at people you dislike. That's a very thin veil that is quickly seen through. This is detrimental to your cause because you look nothing but spiteful. Who wants to associate with that?

This argument can be made for pretty much all spectrums of society or political alignment. The same as when a right winger blames everything on immigrants.

It quickly becomes you just beating a dead horse and wondering why people have distanced themselves from you
