Dear Anonymous,
I have no idea why this is called fascism. If you care, that museum has been trying to untangle itself from having profited of minority artists for a really long time. [It was common practice to only pay the best artists. And promotions depended on connections.] Even if the story happened as you portrayed it, at worst that is anarchy. Fascism could apply when someone or something is put into power.
The NYT editor is a unique story. There were a number of instances of reporters being attacked or arrested during the protests. [Both protests. Stay at home orders and Police use of force.] The NYT is looked as the pulpit of american media. In the NYT newsroom they were trying to put together an editorial about the CNN crew being arrested on live television. In the meantime the Editor published a piece from Tom Cotton to send in the military against the protesters. The NYT reporters felt like they were betrayed. And they mutinied.
