I think that's also the problem today, albeit of a different sort. I had a friend who was very seriously into the "punch Nazis" meme on the internet a few years ago. But he would often talk to us about it and finding someone to punch. He sometimes said shit like "I could just go to the Republican national convention and start punching people."
If it floats your boat, punch Nazis. But don't punch everybody you disagree with because "not supporting universal healthcare" is not being a Nazi.
There's also significant evidence that 'punching Nazis' is actually doing them a favor, ideologically.
Maybe the fleeting dopamine hit of being 'the good guy beating up the bad guy' isn't actually worth it, in the long run.
Idk man the Republican Party is absolutely fascist
Supporting Trump means supporting Nazis
