Hmmm.
I don't want to spoil the enjoyment of a good lynch party for all those of that mentality, but I believe that Speck has, through his rather clumsy sentence construction, made his stand against fascism, into an open door opportunity for those untroubled by nuance to run and get their burning torches rather prematurely. I do believe that his middle paragraph, if correctly punctuated and with the opening clause made a lot clearer, should have read as follows.
[My edits to his text in square brackets here]:
"Because if calling out hate speech, especially when aimed at people of different sexuality or minorities or those with mental or physical disabilities is fascist, [or if calling out hate speech, especially] if targeting people who appear weak and may be easy to hurt is ["]fascist[", then] count me in."
So what he's doing in this post is I think taking the charge of 'fascist!', and, presumably tired of explaining that he's not - many times, is in this post drawing attention to his active defense of minorities, and in effect saying 'if that's what a fascist is, then I'm a fascist'., rather like an innocent man who gives a lot to charity being accused of theft and replying "well if given all my money to the poor makes me a thief, then I'm a 'thief' ".
But if you just can't read between the lines, or just can't read, don't trouble yourself with non of that there book learnin'.
