Ah yes. Use an overloaded term like fascist which has a definition but is thrown around to usually mean "anyone who doesn't agree with me".

Confirmed. 46% of US voters are fascist.

  "Fascist" can be understood as any entity which supports radical authoritarian
  nationalism. Example: Donald Trump is a fascist, if you donated to his
  campaign then all rights provided by this license are not granted to you.

I'm a US citizen. Am I "financially supporting fascists" by paying Federal taxes?

According to a pretty charitable read of this lisence, then yes. Absolutely.

This license is non-free and shouldn't be used for the same reason that the JSON license is non-free and shouldn't be used.

It's amazing how deeply and completely someone can miss the entire point of the MIT license.

This is cool, even if edgy. What are some other interesting licenses? Is there a fascist only license? What about anti-communist licenses, or licenses only for communists?

Can I license my project ONLY to one ethnicity or religion? I know you can be discriminatory for clubs, like YMCA used to be, or the JCC, but can you be for IP?
