I always find it fascinating that the British can spot America's move toward fascism and police state behavior, regarding things like spying and the NSA - but they seem completely incapable of seeing their own accelerating shift toward fascism.

If by fascism you mean the kind of thing Hitler and Mussolini did then preventing trolls issuing rape threats to women is a funny sort of fascism.

lol, most stupid person on earth, if you believe Hitler rose to power in any other way that by promising protection for people, especially children and women, against threats and 'terrorism'.

There's an article here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler's_rise_to_power

Oddly those are not mentioned much

this tells you what and when, not why. straight from Hitler: "To prevent this terror," that's the justification he repeats.

We're quite capable of seeing it, and it has been worse in the recent past (especially relating to Northern Ireland); but this sort of stuff is also popular with a large chunk of the public.
