They don't recognize it because they're immersed in it. We have all the characteristics of a fascist state (be them prescriptive or descriptive) but because we're not systemically liquidating the camps for the most part we aren't Nazis for some reason? People don't want to admit in 1933 they would have been doing the exact equivalent of what they are doing now - nothing.
It's not even away. We keep millions of "criminals" imprisoned in labor camps. They are disproportionately minorities and almost all poor. Radical thought and action is systemically and violently suppressed irregardless of the rule of law. The state is constantly spying on us. So many aspects of fascism are very clearly present here right now but because the Einsatzgruppen aren't kicking my door down right now it's absurd to call it fascism.

The majority of people are fine with fascism as long as it's called Imperialism and happening far away from them.

Oh, yeah, totally. Just pointing out the precedence.
