    This sounds like a great idea!

    I’ll clarify, I’m just putting out a reminder that being fascist is not an inherent trait, like green eyes or dark skin. Literally anyone can fall into the trap of fascist thinking. The only way to be truly anti-fascist is to recognize the warning signs in your own thoughts and worldview.

    So centrism can sometimes be a trap, but don’t demonize the practice of seeing both sides. Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

        For sure I think Nazis and Tankies are both gross, and I have a kind of out-group bias against them, but I never advocate for violence against them.

        Except maybe punching Nazis, but nothing serious damaging or life threatening.

      Wise words.

      It’s how Peace is achieved.

      Taking a hard line with one sides is a step on the path to becoming a fascist.

      And War, and death.
