Is conservatism fascism in the West? (hexbear.net)

It seems to me that conservatism is just fascism with a friendlier face or a type of proto-fascism.

Seeing how Zionists behave gave me some insight on this. Conservatives here have some pretty fascistic beliefs, but I think it's a bit distinct from outright fascism.

Zionism is fascism. It's a complete inversion of reality. For example: Israel blowing up the hospital. They bragged about it at first, then tried to say Hamas did it, then tried to say Hamas was in the hospital. During each phase, Zionists would wholeheartedly agree with the narrative. I'm not wording this the best, but fascism is definitely distinct from even the most far right conservatism.
