Lowering expectations for individuals of a certain skin color or background is bigotry.

I promote the abolition of such soft/crypto bigotry, especially by reprogramming the do-gooder crowd's Fabian collectivist hacked firmware.

Forcing them to confront/examine/justify their own authoritarian paradigms (EG political correctness and speech codes) is the first step...

Imposing your own expectations is fascism. You are not the cultural and moral guardian for everyone else.

You are wrong. "Facism" refers to "a political movement that was linked with corporatism and existed in a single country (Italy) for less than 30 years and ruled the country from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini."

You are being a lazy slob by indulging your uneducated nincompoop usage of "Fascism as vague epithet."

the term "fascism" has become hopelessly vague in the years following World War II, and that today it is little more than a pejorative epithet used by supporters of various political views to attempt to discredit their opponents. This view dates back to George Orwell, British writer and author of Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, who in 1944 famously remarked:

Quote

...the word Fascism is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else ... Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathisers, almost any English person would accept bully as a synonym for Fascist. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.[35]

Orwell's observation predates the formulation of the Godwin's law,[36] considering nazism and fascism as partially overlapping notions.

The only expectations I am in favor of "imposing" are those already existing as conditions of objective reality, IE 'Adapt or Die.'

Obviously neither you or I are the "cultural and moral guardian for everyone else." That was my point about the individual's decision to 'Adapt or Die.'
