    The fascist mindset is about superiority, not violence.

    Nah, those guys hate themselves, the idea they’re superior is surface level cope. Look at the content right wing extremists are consuming and how they are using it; it’s the emotional weight of violence being employed for self inflicted brain damage, dogmatic cult building through manipulation and artificial trauma eg. hazing.

      Well, the left wing is about self-love. It’s about gay pride, and worker solidarity. I’m part of a left wing cult, and our leader, Jesus Christ, tells us to love our neighbours and ourselves, and says we all have the power to move mountains. So I don’t think you need to worry about our violence leading to fascism. It’s right wing groups like capitalists and Christians (followers of Paul) you need to watch out for, because they teach self-hatred and then sell their followers superiority as the cure. Kind of like Zuko from Avatar when Iroh was explaining that his pride was the source of his shame.
