I don't think fascism can be described as those behaviors, it's an ideology.

Those two behaviors you described aren't in isolation. Can't a meme be fascist propaganda? Can't a meme attempt to dehumanize or justify violence without calling for it? Is fascism only dangerous when it reaches the point of open violence?

I don't agree with the line of reasoning that 'wolfballs is fascist', I think that's ignorant of what fascism is and why non-fascism can also be horrible, but I don't think the 'it's just memes' argument is helpful.
