is right. Up is down. And now Google is redefining the word “Fascist.” From Derek Hunter at the
Daily Caller:
Has Google, the world’s most popular
search engine, changed the definition of the word “fascism” to protect liberal
mobs using violence to silence those who disagree with them politically? The
evidence suggest they have.
You see it on signs at every protest
or riot — liberals accuse President Donald Trump of being a fascist. The word’s
association with Adolf Hitler and its use now is no accident, it’s meant to
strike fear in people’s hearts of tyranny.
Merriam-Webster
defines the word “fascism” as “a political philosophy, movement, or
regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the
individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government
headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social
regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.” The secondary
definition is “a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or
dictatorial control.”
This definition reflects the fact that
Nazis were, in fact, both fascists and of the political left. They were the
“National Socialist German Workers Party,” which favored a heavy-handed
government in business and the personal lives of its citizens.
The authoritarian government of Nazi
Germany not only oppressed opposing political views and used violence to
enforce it, they supported a powerful central government which heaped social
benefits on its citizens. The second part of Nazism is the “socialist”
part, which is very similar to what the modern American political left
advocates. For all their bluster to the contrary, Hitler was a man of the
extreme left, and so was fellow fascist and Axis Powers member Benito
Mussolini.
But if you type the word into Google,
the definition they provide is quite different.
The world’s largest search engine pins
fascism on the political right, not the left.
Google defines fascism as, “an
authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and
social organization.” (emphasis added)

Not good, but this is not new. A few months ago, I blogged on this subject
here.
