It is agreed that a lot of these popular terms
have considerably evolved over the past century.

DO bear in mind that while many of these 'rules' have
considerable represntation in 'religion' said religions
were often a disguise for an astute understanding of the
human condition and psychology. Just because it's in
the Koran or Bible or Gita or Nordic runes doesn't
make it all wrong, just misrepresented.

"Fascism" and "NAZIism" had very specific meanings and
detailed supporting ideologies in the past. They have
been generalized since, meaning an intolerant, authoritarian,
and oft highly bigoted, view of things where extreme censorship
and violent suppression of alternative views is status quo.
As such, neo-NAZIS, Wokies/BLM/ANTIFA/Commies and ISIS/Taiban
are all "fascists".
