They aren't fascist. These people aren't nationalist, let alone hyper-nationalist. Quite the opposite in fact, they're hyper anti-nationalist.
Okay, they're "hyper anti-nationalist." Then what are they for?
What they're for is the super-State, the Globalist State, the hyper-Nation. They're for the trans-national Corporation, whether they realize that or not. If fascism is the marriage of Nation and Corporation, and these people are for the marriage of Hyper-Nation and Hyper-Corporation, would it make you feel better to describe these people as "Hyper-Fascists?"
Rabid nationalism or a strongman/generalissimo type leader is not required for a fascist state. The symbiosis between the state, media, and corporations under central control of one man or a cabal of leaders qualifies. In fact, as others have pointed out here, we in the US are living under fascism right now.
I think the strongman/fascist fallacy arose because of Mussolini and Hitler.
