    Aside from the joke element of your post, Fascist is not the same as ethno-Fascist, so somebody who is a Fascist isn’t necessarily a Nazi-style one: they can simply be a traditional Fascist like the kind that for a while ruled Italy, Portugal, Spain and Greece.

    You can easily tell the difference between the two because ethno-Fascists are all about how they represent an ethnicity which is somehow a superior ethnicity and use claims that they’re protecting themselves from another ethnicity who are describe as “violent” and even “vermin” to justify extreme violence against that other ethnicity. Traditional Fascist are all about The Nation and the superiority of it and it’s people, which probably explains why for example unlike the ethno-Fascists they seldom engage casually in the most horrendous of violent acts, such as murdering children just for being of the wrong ethnicity.

    The only present day ethno-Fascists I know are Zionists (who claim to represent the Jewish People, who are “God’s chosen people” and have been stealing from, raping and murdering Palestinians and any other Muslims they can read whilst claiming they’re only “defending themselves”.

    Mind you, conflating accusations of Fascism with accusations of Nazism and other similar purposeful absurdist misportrayals of the critique of others is in my experience (of living in Britain) a pretty common technique from the British Far-Right.
