If you wanna refer to some "psychological type" you should define it and explain it. Throwing around "X is a sociopath" "Y is the type of brigading that leads to Hitler" without explanation or clarity is crying wolf to the people who will read your comment and associate it with your belief. They could be totally valid analogues! But personally I find it hard to connect self censorship to fascism when the "other side" (subjective) stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a democratic election. Of course, maybe we're doomed on every direction we could turn.
