Does it ascribe blame that way? I don't think saying "You're too extreme in your views" necessarily means "You think people shouldn't have to suffer" and equating them is ultimately going to lead to the exact polarization the commenter is talking about.

You don't defeat fascism by becoming a "good" fascist.

That would only hold water if the left and the right were equally represented in the Western world. The Overton window currently sits somewhere odd Zohran Mamdani and literal Nazis. Other than odd fringe groups with less political sway than a groundhog in spring, there's nothing approaching left wing fascism in the Western world.
