Fascism is bad. Don't be Fascist.
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion." -Robert Paxton
Also don't call everything right of center Fascist because it dilutes the term and turns a political discussion into an ad hominem attack. You get annoyed when they call you a Communist because you want universal health care so set a better example for discourse and seize the moral high ground.
Most people who currently behave like fascists have no self-awareness of that fact. Calling them fascist is just perceived as name-calling, and has the same persuasive effect. Rational arguments are not effective either. Treating the underlying emotional causes of fascism, and providing optimistic alternative visions of the future, is a better approach.
Fibonazis
A faction of crypto-bros in the intellectual dark web use many of the same arguments from self-organization, emergence, and evolutionary psychology to promote rigid hierarchies as natural (therefore good) phenomenon. This leads them to seriously anti-democratic and anti-humanist philosophies. Jordan Peterson, Peter Thiel and Eric Weinstein are examples of this. Though neologisms are discouraged, this wiki cannot help but call the mirror world doppelgangers of chaos theory Fibonazis.
Punk Hates Nazis
The best anti-fascist anthems come from the genres of Punk and Folk. Genres like glitch hop, vaporwave, witch house, and goblincore [1] tend to be less political.
