He’s just a misguided social democrat. Unfortunately social democracy in Scandinavia got caught in the ratchet mechanism and is now straying further from the light every year, wondering why their former voters feel betrayed.
the word’s not useless, it’s just that its meaning has evolved to encompass pretty much all authoritarianism, rather than just a specific subset of it.
I agree, just like when maga or the broader far-right call literally everything “woke” or marxist that they disagree with to the point where they literally start losing their meaning.
Fascism is an ideology, as someone with Polish background I understand how important it is to acc use that word when necessary else it risks losing meaning and gravity and how truly harmful that ideology is, and how important it is to educate people on it’s history and how humanity’s prior actions had lead to such people come into power.
I personally dunno enough about the guy to know if he is or is not in fact a fascist, he’s definitely orwellian, he may in fact be fascist, there’s fascists everywhere, but just basing that purely off of his orwellian actions (again idk if that’s purely what people based it off of) isn’t accurate to what fascism fully encompasses or what his views may encompass.
Keir Starmer, as much as I hate him, who implemented the dystopian, orwellian online safety act and regularly uses the terrorism act to censor people’s freedom of speech, and lock up pro-palestinians/anti-zionists, is for example despite that not in fact a fascist.
Same way how zionists linking anti-zionism to anti-semitism, no matter how untrue it is, undermines people who are in fact anti-semitic.
He may be an asshole, but calling everyone you don’t like a fascist is just going to make the word useless

Misguided? Why are liberals always treated with kid gloves? Calling this guy a fascist does not seem out of bounds at all based on his policies.

Yeah, and we have the word authoritarianism for that

Fascist is as fascist does
There you go, I’m Italian so my definition of fascism is Umberto Eco’s, seems like this guy falls short a bit, we can use other words.

Unfortunately people here are mostly incapable of having nuance.
Oh, the irony!
