When your friend has an addiction, you try to support him to quit. If a friend turns into a fascist , you should support him to quit, exclusion will only make him more extremist :(
Excluding them is how you force them to quit. But you need to not just exclude them from your group; you must also prevent them from joining other fascists. Make them rightly feel that fascism leads to being alone.
How do you do that? Unless they're your kid, you don't usually have that kind of control over another person.
^^^^^^^^
No, if you're a fascist you deserve only horrible things and no redemption, period :3
But I like excluding people because it creates a strong sense of unity and identity within my group, making me feel superior and distinct. This gives me a sense of control and power, which is deeply satisfying, and it simplifies the world into clear categories of "us" versus "them," providing comfort and certainty in an otherwise complex and chaotic environment.
Edit: plus, I can't relate to fascists at all
This.
