< Fascism is an alliance between govt and large corporations that leads to an authoritarian form of govt.> That is so vague, it describes most governments. Universally, Big Business and Big Government support each other. That is true from the USA to Russia to China, and most places in between. What do you mean by “authoritarian “? The Prime Minister of New Zealand acted with the support of her Cabinet, the legislature and judiciary. There were only tiny, trivial protests against her policies. There was no violence used to suppress dissent. Newspapers were not suppressed; opposing opinion was not silenced. Arden is a liberal; it is totally reasonable to criticize her as a liberal. But she is not a fascist.

Take Twitter for example:

...playing along and suppressing any dissent.

Elon Musk's private texts are now public due to Twitter lawsuit.

Here's some with Jack Dorsey: "A new platform is needed. It can't be a company." Wait, what?
..."Otherwise you have a surface area that governments and advertisers will try to influence and control."
Try?

Wonder who's "the activist"? The "hidden corruption" might be who's paying for the activism.
