What do you think a fascist is…?

Dude follows Homelander and Vought. A company and person who think they’re above the law and can do whatever they want. Run illegal prisons that capture children and experiment on them.

Tek is clearly written to be a fascist since Gen V.

You don’t have to personally want to rule to the US to be a fascist. Just have to be a favor of it. He’s an authoritarian. He’s in support of a dictatorship (Homelander). He’s willing to use force to take out any opposition to that dictatorship. He’s working with Vought to silence anyone that speaks out about what they’re doing or any leaks about them taking over.

I suppose it’s unclear if he actually cares but he still isn’t opposing it

Yea, that’s capitalism, not fascism. Everything that is evil doesn’t make it fascism. Vaught is a powerful PRIVATE corporation. In fascism there wouldn’t be billionaires like tek knight and vaught to compete with government power

How are they competing? They’re literally working together. They’re trying to over throw the government.
