The issue lies with people like you labelling speech that goes against the narrative "fascist" speech. Clearly the definition of fascism is lost on you if you are supportive of banning speech.

Its dishonest to label all of the speech coming out of sites like parlor fascist. Its clearly politically motivated censorship.

I can find 1000s of examples of people calling for violence against Trump supporters on Twitter or Facebook, but no-one is calling for Twitter to be removed from the app store...

1. People like who? What are the defining characteristics, other than, "advocate deplatforming fascists"?

2. What is your definition of fascism?

3. Who is labelling all the speech coming out of Parler as "fascist"?

4. Show us the examples of people on Twitter and Facebook making actual plans and gathering the required equipment and supplies, rather than just wishing ill against others?
