Governments are inherently fascistic entities. Ruling by so-called democratic majority excludes too many, even when you pretend that the way propaganda works doesn't completely extinguish the concept of democracy. We are all living in a conservative socioeconomic reality that for the most part has many many, many many fascistic elements.
Authoritarianism is not always fascism, even if I did accept your premise. Fascism isn’t just “governments I don’t like.” Perhaps read some political philosophy before coming in with metaphorical guns blazing?
Here’s a link to Ur-Fascism, to start. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism
You're splitting hairs and missing the point, your reading comprehension seems to be wanting and you are condescending as fuck.
I’m only condescending to people who deserve it. And language shapes cognition; it’s not my fault you don’t understand that.
Ah, an inferiority complex That explains it.
