My point stands. Anti vaxxers call people leftists and facists in the same sentence, and it shows their intelligence. |
I think you may need to drill down a little on your research. Over time fascism has been used to describe everything from communists to ultra-right nut jobs. Right now it is certainly used as a pejorative to describe the right. Historians have said "trying to define 'fascism' is like trying to nail jelly to the wall."
To be clear, I'm massively pro-vax, and slightly right of centre. This isn't me trying to go to bat for disassociating the right from the left, but it's not clear that anything fascist is right, and educated, intelligent people like "historians" are the ones saying this.
