I honestly can't handle being around them, they love pretending to be more reasonable than they are, making me look like an emotional ass (thanks neurodivergence). Seriously, what's up with chuds dancing around the point and never being honest about their intentions? Like they pretend they don't want to exterminate muslims, or people from countries they don't like, why all the dishonesty? I know she believes these things because they like watching Ben Shapiro, Assmongold, Matt Walsh etc. She's joined Orthodox church after finding Catholics too woke for upholding hasic COVID restrictions, and constantly whines about Muslims.

I'm more than happy to admit I want society to be violent towards billionaires, fascists etc. Why can't they be honest about it, why dance around the point?

You can't cook a nice Thankgiving turkey by throwing it in an oven at 50,000 kelvin for 60 seconds. You can't make an extremist in a single conversation. Fascists, when not hegemonic, do not openly state their affiliation or goals because that would make them complete and utter pariahs. They just inch people over to them, bit by bit. It's more effective at recruiting, socially advantageous for the individual, and gives believers some way of justifying the things they wish to do (ie., "I was a centrist, but I was forced to become right wing by the crazy left!")
