fascists love being feared; it makes them feel powerful. fascism is entirely based around male insecurity, which is why the need to put women in their place is so central to their world view. so pathetic insecure losers who can't deal with their own failures would take the deal of being feared but feeling powerful for it in a heartbeat.
that's why "oh no they're fascists and they're coming for us" doesn't work. a lot of people find that enticing. what they can't stand is being reminded how pathetic they are.
weird works especially well because a huge part of these people's narrative is how they're normal people and all those trans people and homosexuals and blue haired women and people who don't want to have children are degenerate and abnormal. so when you start pointing out that they're weird, they can't stand it.
Exactly. And like, just seriously think about that desire for a second. What fucking losers they are to want to be feared. They need to grow the fuck up and learn to coexist with their fellow humans like the rest of us
