Seems to be implying fans of Mauler, Sargon and E;R are fascists, or at least fascist sympathizers, and have no idea what Star Wars is about.
The first Galactic Republic wrote:If they are Sith troopers, I’m hoping there’s a reason for it besides an upgrade. Kylo really makes a point of wanting to tear down past traditions at the end of VIII, so it’d be rather schizophrenic if he suddenly went “Look at my new guys! I’ll call them Sith troopers.”
He goes from worshipping the past in TFA to wanting to “kill” it in TLJ, with the only apparent cause for this massive change being Snoke mocking him and his helmet. Guy’s already nuts. Wouldn’t be surprised in the least if he switched back to his previous beliefs, or if he was only saying that to try and corrupt Rey. This guy did spend the whole movie emotionally manipulating her to try and maneuver her into a position where she would fall to the Dark Side. Would be in character for him to do it again.

Where the hell do you get "sympathetic to fascism" from a film series that has consistently treated the fascists as cartoonishly evil villains?
I can only hazard a guess that this is a drawback of giving the bad guys the cooler toys.
