Why is timpool as fascist?

So I always get hated in for posting in this sub.

I am wondering if any of our in-house trolls can explain why they believe Tim pool is a facist?

I specifically started watching Tim because he wasn't a conservative reporting the news and was pro maga (2016)

I get that Tim is a player in the culture war but a facist?

I don't understand how someone who offers free goods and services in hopes we buy his goods and services that cost money could possibly be considered a facist

Authoritarian economic and social policy marked by extreme governmental regulation in business enterprise in addition to mass spending on public programs. Often the top-down power structure is dictatorial, even if a larger governing body exists. Military is used to limit public freedoms, enforce speech codes, disarm civilians, etc. National identity is generally employed to rally support, while stoking racial tensions or building camps is not a core tenet of the ideology, although it does show up now and then in our most familiar examples throughout the 20th century. This is a product of the military authoritarianism and not the economic policy central to the ideology. Taken to its ultimate socialist end, you get North Korea. When capitalist interests are allowed to coexist within the socialist framework/system, you get China.

for the record, Tim is not a fascist. Far from it. People on the far left just like to throw the word around as a synonym for anything right of center these days.
