I've long been describing Farage's posturing as fascism, only for people to say "be careful about throwing that word around."
Guys, it's fascism. Here in Italy we know what the word means. We have a post-fascist party in power & Farage is so far to the right of them they need binoculars to see him.
It’s an easy, sloppy cliché but ...
if you are classifying what Farage is doing as creating ‘division‘ you are explicitly endorsing fascism as a valid alternative view rather than a demonstrable evil.
Please do not do it.
Language matters.
