Hindu vigilantes have long tried to stop the cow trade, often carried out by Muslims, but have become more extreme and flamboyant thanks to American social media platforms that reward them with large online followings.

There isn’t a better example of clown world than this.
We gotta get rid of this whole religion thing, it’s making people do insane things.
This is fascism. It uses religion as a convenient part of their “culturally pure” state ideology. It’s a more basic sociological ingroup/outgroup reaction than anything to do with religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindutva
I just tried to get a definition for fascism but apparently that’s quite difficult to define also. It’s easy enough to get a feel for what the word ‘fascism’ is trying to describe though.
So next question is, are there some religions that are more sympathetic to, or more likely to bring about fascism?
Its been around for 10s of thousands of years.
Might be something more recent to blame.
It’s not as if religions have been peaceful in all that time, is it
No but the recent uptick is not due to any innovation of religion, it correlates better with advances in communications technology.
