the Internet who rejected the assertion that they had the root of a fascist in them

doubt but I'm still listening, go ahead.

Articler checks out. Though I have argued that the thrill and satisfaction of hurting people you believe to be less than you is a significant reward for rank and file fascists. I don't care to psychoanalyze it, Freud was a crank, I'm happy with saying that some people are motivated to support fascist causes because they like hurting people.
