@feoh I'm trying to describe how people actually use the word today, so I can't make one up. One of your acquaintances looks at news about Palantir and says "Those fascists..." -- what do they mean? That's what I'm getting at.

@dashdsrdash I can appreciate that, and while I respect their right to differ, I think they're wrong :) I think that Palantir's crimes against morality are very clear, and I'm honestly not sure I would refer to them as facist. Privacy is and should be a basic human right, and Palantir's tech runs roughshod over that right left, right and center. The word for this is "intrusive" or maybe even "invasive". I do appreciate you clarifying, but I must respectfully disagree. My wife convinced me to stop cursing all the time because doing that robbed the curses of their power. I have since come to believe that she is right. I assert that, in my opinion, the same goes for "facist".
