Donating to environmentalist causes would be conservative, far right fascism is extremist

That's not how "conservative" is used in the US political system.

We decide every day how we should use language. Personally I think far right fascism has always been extremist, not conservative at all

Conservatives would dispute being far right fascists, though. It’s a weird jumble of people.

I don't think it makes sense to use the language a minority of white far right extremists want everyone to use. We can use more accurate language

And if we change the meaning of words every day, they lose all meaning.

Yeah what do far right extremists mean when they say woke as a slur?

I think you're mixing "conservationist" and "conservative".

The reason conservative is used is partially historical naming and partially because they typically want to "conserve" the status quo.

Lately however they have become more and more regressive so there are certainly some who could go in the fascist bucket imo
