No, it’s because the word was used wrongly in a completely unrelated context where it doesn’t make any sense

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•“It took 12 years of work to get here”: interview with Pierre-Loup Griffais, developer of SteamOS, the flagship OS of the Steam Deck
0·2 years agoThat’s what I did recently, and most things just worked out of the box even with a Nvidia card. Notable mentions, tho, multiple streaming providers and game add-ons refuse to work on Linux no matter what you do, which could definitely be annoying if that’s something needed often. Almost all other things can work out with an occasional research needed .

World News@lemmy.world•Italy investigates Placebo singer for calling far-right PM ‘racist’ and ‘fascist’English
0·3 years agoItalians where also the ones that invented the republic, so what?
Fascism was and will always be a disgrace in Italian history, but maybe you should research Piazzale Loreto to see how much people ended up liking fascism in the end.
Of course there are extremist idiots in Italy like in any other country, but Italy official position on it was made very clear.
Even making a fascist group or association is literally a crime in Italian law.
This doesn’t change that the current situation is very bad of course, but right wing populism and fascism are not nearly the same thing, even if one could lead to the other

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.
