I'm not a fascist, I just support the demagogic leader who holds rallies of chanting angry crowds to demonize already marginalized racial and religious minorities by restricting their travel, concentrating them in special prisons, and sending troops into cities to round them up.
I'm not a fascist, I simply wear a "Journalist+Rope+Tree" to the rally, cheer a cruel leader who's made unholy alliance with our nationalistic religious apparatus, join in chants to imprison his political enemies, and obey commands to disbelieve the evidence of my eyes and ears.
I'm not a fascist, I just think that all power should be collected in a single person whose power cannot be questioned in any way, who's empowered to act above the law, who rules through propaganda and military beligerance, and blurs lines between state and corporate power.
I'm not a fascist—I just think Nationalism is good. I'm not a fascist—I just worry about shifting demographics. I'm not a fascist—I just think the free press is the enemy of the people. I'm not a fascist—I'm just practicing a deliberate incuriosity about where my neighbor went.
I'm not a fascist, I'm just driven by resentment and a desire to see the right people pay. I'm not just a fascist, I'm just going to go listen to the bellowing man tell me who the "right people" are, and believe every word he says.
I'm not a fascist. I'll be very shocked when the stories come out—just as shocked as I've been by the ones out already.

I'll explain that I didn't know about any of that.

That nobody knew.

That nobody could have known.

Who could be expected to know about THAT?
I'll tell you who the real fascist is—you.

You, for pointing all these things out. These wild, baseless accusations, just over politics. Nothing but meaningless, unimportant, effect-free politics.

Just because you disagree with my point of view.

THAT'S fascism.
I'm not a fascist. I just don't care.

What you haven't considered about all these awful things is that earlier, somebody ELSE did bad things, and I'm going to assume without investigating you didn't care about that.

I have other reasons to not care if you don't like that one.
If you're accusing me of belonging to a FASCIST party? simply b/c I'm deliberately indifferent to that party's outrages? or justify my support based on some tangential but non-fascist personal benefit? WELL then—hey! where are you going?

Didn't hear me out.

Just like a fascist.
