Everyone loves fascism until it's used against them.

The core problem is "wrong" is not a self-evident concept. Christians think masturbation is wrong (and a host of other intrinsically human things). Not so terribly long ago, a disturbingly large number of Americans didn't think it was wrong to own people.

"Minimizing harm," on the other hand, is much easier to pin down.

Best not to lump us all in the same boat. I, an American, saw this fascist bullshit from the beginning and have voted accordingly against. But the stacked courts and the lack of judges and justices growing a backbone, and doing what is objectively right, will be our downfall.

In time, the US will have a second civil war because of this. I just hope I’m long gone by then.

Yeah, it's this weird mixed bag thing. In the US, I've found myself being able to pull people who were originally registered Republican fairly far left. People who bought a lot of the conservative propaganda but couldn't stomach Trump are now starting to wake up a bit, at least in my personal experience. But the ones who are still in the party are full of nothing but hate, and there are still plenty of them there.

Conservativism was always moderate fascism, and center / center left bought out parties aren't attracting people to the polls anymore because they offer nothing

I'm afraid the traditional way to "deal with fascism", has always been the same: war.

People seem to naturally tend towards siding with the "strong side", and the only way to make them side with the "compassionate side" is to periodically turn their daily existence into living hell. We don't seem to have yet found an effective way to educate and keep new generations on the "compassionate side"; hopefully we're getting closer, but clearly we're not there yet.

I hope “non-believers” doesn’t mean religious non-believers because fascism and authoritarianism has historically gone hand in hand with religion and religious dogma.

But I suspect I’m misunderstanding the context here. At least I hope I am.

That is so insane to me. Even if you were a rich mofo, you really okay living in a bunker? Like do they think their life will be just as cushy without the sun or nature? No matter how many swimming pools or tv screens underground with golden toilets or whatever the fuck they put in their bunkers - life without the planet will suck. Humans aren’t meant to live underground for an extended period. There’s a reason my therapists keep telling me to go outside and get some sun and fresh air.
