Joking about jews or saying the n word never made anyone a fascist. Fascism didn’t even include antisemitism, it was just added later on because of Germany’s policies. Calling pewdiepie a fascist is wrong intellectually, historically, politically and ideologically.

The only people normalizing fascism are the ones calling everything fascist and making the word lose power and giving new blood to the idea of fascism.

Fascism is a very specific thing, born in a very specific country and with a very specific ideology. Not every authoritarian country is fascist. Not every racist idea is fascist.

People were idiots before fascism. And they can be idiots without being fascists now too.

It’s the same as calling communist everyone that ask for minimum wage or free/cheap healthcare. It’s dumb.
