Well, if you're a liberal, you can always identify as a crypto fascist.

Let's not forget that it was a gay jew who has a thing for black men that they were calling a Nazi.
Oh my God. Stop using that as a shield.
Being gay (something completely out of your control), having Jewish heritage (Hitler did too), and having sex with black people (slave-owning Jefferson did too) does NOT mean that your views can't be disgusting, repressive, racist, bigoted, anti-semetic, homophobic, or downright Nazi-like.

Yeah. They're the ones that were burning Berkeley, to stop someone with opposing political views from speaking, in the name of anti-fascism. The irony was lost on them.
I love it when people who don't know what fascism is laugh at other people for not knowing what fascism is.

That "Iamgoingtohellforthis" meme in the linked post is straight ForwardsFromGrandma material, I would be suprised if It has not been posted in that sub before. This is going to sound like LeWrongGeneration material, but it seems like offensive or edgy humour used to be most commonly used by left wing musicians and film-makers as a tool to criticise the way things currently are, but nowadays offensiveness or edginiess in humour seems to come from the opposite end of the political spectrum. a common way of explaining this is "well the left wing won, and now the right wing are the underdogs!" but I dont think thats remotely true, I think right wing propaganda was just very successful in convincing people of the notion that right wing views are much more marginalised then they actually are, to the degree that ultra establishment friendly humour like the linked post is viewed as the height of "subversiveness" by many white people. Comedians like Bernard Manning used to be recognised for the basic bitch establishment sucker bullshitters that they actually are, nowadays it seems like such people won the culture wars and are being treated as the "true rebels, true heroes" by white youth.

UGGGHH...
Wow that was irritating. I think the most grating part was the multiple misattributions of that bullshit quote 'by Churchill'. That there's zero evidence he ever said. Also he was a major douchebag.
