This is my mental image every time someone online claims to be a black conservative.

Fascists were allowed on Reddit? Never really noticed but didn't really go looking for them either.

Honestly, the constant complaining about fascism and bigotry is probably the thing I dislike about the Fediverse the most. Fascism and bigotry are horrible, and I am a descendant of people persecuted for their beliefs so it is definitely personal for me, but I just don't enjoy seeing constant complaints about it in my feed. Especially when the complaints aren't really about fascism but are actually complaints about right-wing authoritarianism or even political conservatism in general. I think I lose a few brain cells for every such thread I see.

You keep splitting hairs like that and your chin gonna be bald to buddy.
FYI fascism doesn't come from a genie in a bottle... its born from authoritarianism and bigotry. Maybe you should take a break from the internet and let those brain cells grow back so that your ancestors don't have to rise from the dead and slap some sense into you lol
From a political science view you are correct people like Trump are technically not a fascist...yet

Can you notice a loop? Yep. That is how futile this whole thing is.
Just keep in mind that banning people who are wrong does not change their mind or reduce their number. The only way to change anything is to actually engage and correct them if they're wrong.
