In Gulag Archipelago, during one of Solzhenitsyn’s camp transfers, a young man ran up to the truck he was on when it arrived.
The kid was all excited, because he heard “the fascists” were arriving. Solzhenitsyn was confused, then realized that he WAS “the fascist”.
So, yes, great article and it’s spot on. I’d add that any label assigned to a large group for the purpose of disparagement is step 1 toward dehumanization, with the last step being potential extermination

The left fixates on a word
racism
fascism
Those are the big ones, they have used them so much, as far as I am concerned they are meaningless.
