I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.

To add to what you've originally said, pipelines only work if average people can't connect the two ends of the pipeline. There's a reason why the opening end of the fascist pipeline is Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes instead of some blue eyes blonde hair Odin-worshipping freak named Olaf Henriksen. Tate being a brown Muslim and Fuentes being a (gay?) Latino is why they're at one end of the pipeline while the Olaf Henriksens are at the other end. The Olaf Henriksens shitting on Tate and Fuentes for being [racial slurs] who are ruining white nationalism because they're [racial slurs] play their part since normal people are going to be more easily fooled by the Tates and Fuentes going, "If you think I'm a white supremacist, you should read what actual white nationalists like Olaf Henriksen say about me. I'm just a normal guy like you who can't stand the wokes and the [trans slur] and I wanna do something about it. Will you join me?"
