If you've followed the news recently, there's a trend of young men joining fascist fight clubs. How can we stem the tide? What underlying issues are causing this?

I understand fascists just fine. It isn't exactly rocket science, and they definitely know better. They are hateful and insecure. Well, one because of the other. None of the problems they claim are real, and that's the point of my comment. Sometimes people are just wrong. Sometimes they even lie. I know, crazy.

It's not me who misunderstands them, it's them who refuses to understand the very basic elements of truth seeking, which is why they petulantly stand in opposition to common sense, science, expertise, and any other informed authority. They are not enlightened, they literally behave like children being told "no."
