>It's honestly infuriating that with the wealth of information available at everyone's fingertips so many people are so easily making the same mistakes as a century earlier.

I agree, but for me it's more infuriating how often I see this comparison used when when the modern version is primarily head-canon catastrophizing despite the same people making the comparison advocating and practicing behaviors that are even closer to what they decry, all while pretending they're not. Nuance and introspection are sorely lacking everywhere.

Strongly disagree. "The antifascists are actually the facists because they won't tolerate my facism!" Strong paradox of tolerance vibes you've got there.

And I, in turn, strongly disagree with you. The paradox of tolerance is a product of sloppy thinking and mostly amounts to tribalism in a fancy coat. And antifascists refuse to tolerate many things substantially milder than actual fascism.

Yep I’d definitely refuse to tolerate mild fascism, thanks I don’t want to go to shooting war over it. It’s bad enough seeing people I love and care about beaten or harassed out of their homes.
