One of the main pillars of every fascist movement is “we’re the only normal ones”. It’s how they justify othering, persecuting, and abusing everyone who’s not a cishet white fascist Christian, preferably male.
To a fascist, anyone who’s not “normal” is one of the OTHERS and thus scary and evil and needs to be suppressed and hidden away, if not violently eradicated.

This is incorrect
It’s how they justify othering, persecuting, and abusing everyone who’s not like them
You can have Fascism in any circle. “Communist” Occupied China is an example of non-white Fascism. And you could point to some military groups in Africa as well

I know. The part you quoted was in a separate paragraph because it was specifically about the American Fascist Party rather than fascists in general.
Other examples include Modi’s fascist Hindunationalism and Netanyahu’s fascist apartheid state where the favored religion is Judaism.
This is not how Apartheid works in the West Bank. Zionism may be dependant on Judaism, but that’s not the dividing line.
It is ethnic apartheid between ethnic Jews / white westerners and Arabs. Religion has little to do with what is actually enforced. there are tons of secular Jews. There are evangelical Christian settlements in the West Bank too.
It’s about denying rights to Arabs living in Palestine.
Do you really need me to quote their whole paragraph to show that they’re in the same paragraph?

Incorrect. Fascism is specifically a white right wing phenomenon.
You can have similar methods in other authoritarian and totalitarian systems. But while they’re certainly equally despicable, that does not make them fascism.
It works because they’re fascists.

It wasn’t separate from this
What are you doing right now?

This was the least educated comment you’ve made today
I highly suggest looking into a political literacy class
I assume you’ve gone through my comment history to confidently make that assertion?
Scan the Wikipedia page on fascism. Read a bit more into the citations. Then tell me again how uneducated my comment really was.
Why would I go through your comment history to make an assertion of one comment that I was replying to?
If you don’t know any of my other comments, how can you confidently state that this was ‘the least educated comment’ I made that day?
Because i respect you
