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.

Any tax paying person in any land is financially supporting fascists. On top of that, there is NOTHING wrong with fascism.

I hope someone is archiving all this so we can look back at it 10 years from now and have a good laugh.

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

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.

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?
