What textbook would that be? Fascism is a political ideology, not just another word for being an asshole.


That is not the issue here, a range of different types of hostility were catalogued. Some are I'd say excessively hostile but essentially just dissenting opinion. I don't see anything in the article or opinion here suggesting that sort of speech should be suppressed or interfered with. Do you?

Others were explicit death threats or persistent personal harassment. I think we can agree those are a potentially criminal matter, right?


As bad as this is, this is not 'the textbook definition of fascism'

Can we please use words that mean things instead of just calling all things the same thing


Insulting people publicly for their support of legal rules is socially acceptable only in the Facebook age. In other times, the person on the receiving end would have challenged you to a duel.
