I know I’m not the only one that has heard this. I get comic book and Sci-fi/fantasy writers probably lean left for the most part but I seem to remember liberals of the past being big on free speech and against censorship. Also I’ve heard SJWs complain about the original Star Trek because they had moved beyond race and you know everything today has to talk about race.
Stan Lee and Kirby are white males so they wouldn’t last today and on and on.
So what is a good response to this?
My only point of contention is your conflation of Fascism with German National Socialism through racial science, which originally came out of Soviet propaganda. Fascism really only applies to mid-century Italy, and the obsession with racial sciences came out of Germany which the Italians disdained. Mussolini didn't commit democide. He had a miniscule kill count from removing communists like Pinochet. His state also wasn't organized enough to be nearly as totalitarian as the rest of the major powers, which is why Italy was more of a liability than contributing ally during the war.
Well, I wasn't really intending to conflate Fascism and National Socialism.
I'm saying both are Progressive. So was Racial Science.

Though that being said, I have no problem pointing out that my dog is actually my genetic superior. She can see.
