That’s completely unscientific; Fascism is a relatively specific group of movements/beliefs. Being a violent amoral nihilist is trans historical. People like this have probably existed since the bronze age or earlier.
Morally, he’s not necessarily any better than a fascist. If it benefited him, he may join a fascist movement out of personal convenience or ambition, and at that point, sure, he would be one.
I would agree that he should, for most purposes, be treated like a fascist. But I think it’s useful to understand this guy correctly. Because there are a lot of people like this out there, who would become fascists as soon as circumstances change, but up until now have been just as happy killing on behalf of the liberal status quo instead.
