That applies to Zelensky too. Also to most states supported by NATO, or the portrayal of those antagonized by NATO. It's almost as if it's a worthless definition.

It's funny how you can tell which insults have made liberals the most sore in the past. You would never call your despised Putler an Uncle Tom if not for the psychic wound left from that term being levied at Obama and others like him.

That's the typical Timothy Snyder/Hannah Arendt breakdown of authoritarianism and fascism, yes, which is always problematic as these definitions could easily apply to any western leader or the subimperialist regimes they prop up, your entire logic is inconsistent. But of course you know that. Poinring out the inconsistencies in your irrational beliefs would be a waste of time, not only because of your belligerence, but because fascism can only coherently analyzed historically.
