Also, was it fascist or nazi?

Both terms have been watered down to mean nothing.

A day ago I was talking to a friend about Microsoft and they equated Microsoft to Nazis, I said let's be realistic, they aren't Nazis, they said fine the KKK. Watering down these terms to mean someone you don't like is super dangerous and let's actual Nazis and KKK just play off the accusations as someone not liking them.

So I agree, it's been watered down and it's really a bad thing.

Those who claim that terms like “Nazi” or “fascist” are being watered down are usually Nazis/fascists themselves, and they're trying to cover it up by convincing everyone that Nazis/fascists don't exist.
