    Why? Fascism requires people to give up compassion. If fascists are approached with compassion, not in the kumbaya, hugging, kissing but the kumbaya, hugging, kissing way, how can they remain fascists?

      You’d have to talk to a fucking psychologist to figure that one out.

      But some people just decide that we need an all white, all Christians ethno-state, and everyone who doesn’t fit in that category can leave, or preferentially, not be allowed to leave and kept as slave labor. I’ve already spent too much of my own life trying to convince those people that such an arrangement harms everyone involved, and recognizing different cultures, backgrounds, traditions, and life experiences makes you a happier and better person.

      And yet they still join up with the proudboys and loudly proclaim that white western chauvinists built the modern world while everyone was trying to drag them down and ruin it.

      Being a nazi shitfuck is a choice. It’s a choice made in glaring defiance of human experiences that we all have every day. Unless they were literally raised in a nazi cult that forbade going outside the compound, then they’ve had a choice to stop being a nazi shitfuck every day, every hour, every minute, every second… And every time, they gleefully and repeatedly make the wrong choice.

        What makes them tick? Why do they long for the ethno-state?

        made in glaring defiance of human experiences

        I don’t think that’s possible. People decide based on their experiences. Isn’t that the cause, some different experiences or better, lack of positive experiences?

          It’s clear you’re not actually reading what I wrote. I’m not going to bother rehashing things I’ve already said, for a 3rd time, just for you. Have a nice day advocating for nazis with empty semantic nitpicking.

            I have read what you wrote. Where have you answered this?

            What makes them tick? Why do they long for the ethno-state?

            I’ve already said, for a 3rd time

            I don’t have to hear again. I understand that you don’t believe that their minds can be changed. I would like to know why you think that.

            So I still hope that you tell me why you think they want the ethno-state.
