A technique of using wordsmithery and false accusations to silence others with a different view. First used on the internet in 2006 on online bulletin boards. Thought to have links to authoritarian and fascist thought especially on the hard left of the political spectrum which intersects with the desire to control - hence authoritarian and fascist. Also see Godwin's law and it's usage and it's political use in closing down discussion. Those exhibiting authofascisilentist behaviour will often post links to obscure articles which seek to discredit the opponent by inciting in particular one of the seven deadly sins.
