A good rule of thumb: If your theory of mind for literally anyone is "they just want to hurt people", you are repeating propaganda.

A core aspect of fascism is finding as scapegoat to blame societal ills on in order to avoid introspection of said society. The scapegoat is in danger in this regard.
Combined with a strong nationalistic and militaristic tendencies, this combination doesn't end in a way other than violence against the scapegoat.
Because fascism is incoherent, there's little to be gained from arguing with their adherents.
So naive.
I think its more naive to think everyone who disagrees with you politically is ontologically evil.
