honestly, you never know - anyone can be brainwashed and radicalized, it's not just something that happens to stupid people
i went through a little alt-right phase when i was younger, now i'm an anarchist i want to go back in time and kick my own ass.
people sometimes take strange, winding journeys to get where they're going!
people can change their minds about stuff, you know?
not that i really advocate for anyone to engage with someone who willingly accepts the label of fascist or approves of fascist ideology
i was really more aiming towards the people who aren't fascist but got misled by misinformation and propaganda, than outright fascists
