for the past decade anything outside of the far left was called "fascist" over and over again until people have essentially forgot what actual fascism looks like. What you're seeing now is the end result of that and now there are people unironically associating with fascists despite not being one because they sure as fuck aren't going to side with the group that has been calling them nazis and trying to ruin their lives for having the slightest disagreement with them. I was a left leaning moderate american and I would sooner kill myself than be forced to associate with the brainwashed tankies that have ruined any left leaning party in america. But yeah that's why it's "controversial" to have opinions against "fascism" nowadays.
