after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

Vigilantism definitely shares traits with fascism.
I mean that's just hilariously wrong, it implies there are is no fascism if the government isn't fascist.
What you described is totalitarianism
Which is an aspect of fascism but not the definition.
Here this guy does a good job of describing white fascism:

It is absolutely the definition.
You're linking a subjective, loosely interpreted editorial of what racist fascim could present as, given 22 minutes to slog along another conclusion-driven narrative (which I watched, again), while I am providing a synopsis of the actual definition:
"a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition"
Fascism is a governmental body taking control of society, disallowing individual thought and behavior.
As I said.
The punisher is uninterested in running an autocratic government that controls other people via oppression.
That makes him, definitively, not a fascist.
bruh
your own quote
and then you go
you literally just contradicted your own definition you quoted
Hey, you provided a dismissive, mediocre effort to enter into debate, and that's what counts.
No worries.
I decided i am done with your stupidity, but then I went back and edited it one last time to show how stupid you are, feel free to read the comment above yours again
No thanks. As long as you are giving up on your facile and so far fruitless efforts to discredit...definitions, I'm not going to bolster your false arguments for you.
That's the only one who discredited definitions is you, with your own quote, you absolute donut, lmao
I discredited your incorrect definition of fascism.
I understand that you've already forgotten, unsurprisingly, that that was in response to your invalid criticism of the established definition of fascism (in dictionaries) earlier commented.
It looks like you've entered your "nuh uh" phase here. Lots of luck with that.
Getting very much a chess playing pigeon vibe from you mate.
That checks out with your analytical ability.
whoa, it turns out you're a condescending asshole in all of your comments!?!!
what a surprise!!!!
You do share quite a bit with assholes I've talked to before.
I wouldn't say it's a surprise, though.
apparently you only talk to assholes!
or maybe... just maybe, it's you
You cracked the code. You, by calling names and making misleading and incorrect statements that nobody agrees with, must be actually succeeding somehow.
By some invisible metric.
Nope, I just checked, you're not.
