. . .

The 1930's usage of the epithet Fascist also includes
anyone or anything uncooperative, so an engine that
dies is a fascist engine and a horse that limps is a
fascist horse, a gun that misfires is a fascist gun, re.
the Hemingway book For Whom The Bell Tolls.

 

In other words, the language is just reverting to what it was in the
1930s where everything is fascist so the word means nothing.

Which is no different from the term "Woke" which has devolved to
essentially mean "I don't like this."

I don't think "woke" is a generalized epithet, as it's used to apply to
ideas and those who seek to apply them. Whereas "fascist" appears to
have nothing to do with someone who would impose fascism on a state
level.

What's an example of its use as a general epithet?
