I’ve been saying it about Shapiro and Prager for years. Anyone can be a fascist regardless of background, it’s important to acknowledge the groups that were targeted and to understand that they will likely be targeted again, but acting like Jewish people, queer people, roma, etc are specially pure and good or like Germans, Italians, Japanese, and Spaniards are specially capable of evil is thinking in the lines fascism wants you to.

Fascism is wrong and evil because the ideas behind it are foolish and cruel. It turns class politics into identity politics for powerful identities (organizing as an identity isn’t bad when it’s the vulnerable, there’s a huge difference between the deaf organizing as the deaf and the hearing organizing as the hearing). It proposes simplistic and contradictory narratives that point towards destruction rather than construction, towards hate rather than love, and towards selfishness rather than empathy. It’s the worst aspects of human nature
