software fascism describes the process of a piece of software actively engaging into pushing better alternatives out of the competition by creeping into spaces far outside its actual purpose and by making said spaces dependent on itself.
Eventually it leads to it being not replaceable by the better alternative and people are forever stuck with that garbage.

Sysadmin 1: Damn my servers are running like shit!
Sysadmin 2: Yea thats because you have let that garbage of systemd into your distro and now all of your applications depend on it due to software fascism and you are stuck with it forever.
Sysadmin 1: No one could have seen that coming.

Get the software fascismmug. a little something employers can do when they're looking to reduce their workers rights in order to increase profit.
if were going to hit that expected 2% growth we've projected we're going to have to enact a little Neo-Fascism.
I hope the proletariat doesnt catch on and collectively say "no" otherwise theres nothing more we can do.

Get the Neo-Fascismmug. Far-right dictatorship that passed anti-semitic laws, censorship, absolute control, prevalence of the concepts of nation and white race being superior to individual values and which is represented by an authoritarian government, centered on the figure of a dictator, causing 440,000 deaths in Italy.
I hate fascism.
