I'm upset that people hate, period, and don't believe a reasonable person could actually see anything I've said as supporting fascism in any way. You're directly advocating for that same ideology with a different target, and insinuating I must be one of Them for having a problem with it.

Yeah, but not exclusively! Even there tolerance is framed as an ideal, and rationale as the primary defense against intolerance. It's also about how to handle movements in a society, not who to call help for. Have you ever studied the Wheel of Samsara?

Pffft! Yeah buddy, because whether or not you make it closer to Nirvana is definitely the only thing that matters here.

It's difficult to engage through your sarcasm, but assuming heaven is a place on earth and we only control our own actions yes. Living with compassion and and at least attempting to embody the changes I hope for is very important to me. It's hope for a better world and a genuine attempt to build it, the only meaningful counter to violence and despair.
