...im being kind of an ass now that you are sort of engaging. Sorry about that. Spoiled by the previous bits of the discussion.

But i think there's another element to this that you're missing: why does a person start becoming a fascist? Whats the value, internally and discursively, of various models?

Here's some facts that might seem disconnected. Follow along. Promise it's going somewhere.

Studies show; brains prone to authorotarian psychology tend to have a much stronger disgust response.

It tends to flow from someone who is absolutely not special in any positive way feeling a need to see themselves as special/heroic/virtuous.

It comes in part from a need to have a prestigious identity while being individually kind of a piece of shit. From needing to see one's self as good but finding no good in one's self beyond membership in a group that can be collectively valorized (however dishonestly; the imperative matters, truth does not).

Erasing any potentially positive identity a potential fascist could subsume itself into, driving home that its something you would have your day ruined if ypu stepped in, and pointing how how it's pitiful disgusting and weak, could potentially save lives. There would still be structural issues to address, of course, but right now we have an immediate problem to solve.

It might even have some preventative value to find people showing early symptoms, when they may still be people, and pinning them down, spraying them with antifungal 'antifascist' drugs, via the placebo effect.
