    The Neoliberals too have been using exactly the same technique to crush dissent, since it gives them plausible deniability (i.e. they claim it was for some other reason than silencing somebody) which is the essence of how they apply Force (people aren’t violently made to do or stop doing something, they’re just pushed into a situation were they have no other option or see the example of what happens to others when they don’t comply)

    A specifically Fascist method would’ve involved violent use of Force, for example arrest or her being violently attacked on the street, rather than indirect methods like this firing.

    Let’s not leave the other Far-Right ideology of the hook just because their methods are are better PR-wise: their disempowering of the many and subversion of all the pillars of Democracy helped pave the way for the Fascists.
