I meant both of those things. Have you looked at society recently? The former is currently acting as a catalyst for the latter.

And speaking of fascism, it's unfortunately getting worse again

You may wish to read some books by people who have lived under fascist regimes. It is a bit more intense than being criticized by busy bodies.

We aren't talking about regimes, though… Why move the discussion?

If it isn’t trying to take over the government and replace a decadent democracy with the Old True Values it isn’t really fascism.

Right, I've maybe misspoken then. Sorry about that. I think I meant traits that I commonly associated with fascism (bigotry, opression, discrimination, etc).

In any case, I don't know what to call it, but the resemblance to witch trials, heresy (and maybe fascism? I'm unsure now) is just uncanny.

Not sure any large human society has been free of the ills of bigotry, oppression and discrimination, tho, century by century, we keep shifting things for the slightly better.
