If you need help explaining just how fascist the west is to an average person, point out how they keep aligning themselves with some of the most savage murderous regimes in human history. There isn't a single answer that doesn't make them look like a complete monster.

People who talk of the west as fascist must not know much of what’s going on in the east or eastern history.

'This is bad.'

'No, another thing is bad.'

Right, sorry, only one problem allowed at a time.

Calling something Fascist when it is very clearly and objectively not Fascist does not actually make it Fascist. The West isn't Fascist. The point he was trying to make is that people like you have a world of view so narrow and ignorant that you don't understand what Fascism is, hence the incorrect usage. A country like Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan are Fascist, a country like Germany or the Netherlands are not.
