it’s not about brainwashing. I mean, that’s in there, but that’s not what makes fascists unrecoverable.
it’s about the way they consume information. hitler talked about how you should read books; by basically skimming and cherry picking things that support your world view, and discarding the rest of the ‘junk’. if all information-all of reality-is consumed that way, you cannot fix them, you cannot heal them, except with a bullet.
there is time between “lol i named my account baskedkekhitler1488” and this, but once they reach that point, and once they have done enough horrible shit that they would have to reconcile with being a good person, they cannot be human again.
dipshits who were misled and fucked by misinfo and a lack of education
see, that’s … well it’s a huge problem, but it’s not the one I’m talking about. yeah, those are still people. probably. they can still, as a group, generally, do all the important person-stuff that makes ‘person’ an important category.

people can change their minds about stuff, you know?
not that i really advocate for anyone to engage with someone who willingly accepts the label of fascist or approves of fascist ideology
i was really more aiming towards the people who aren’t fascist but got misled by misinformation and propaganda, than outright fascists
