> The most noble ‘why’ espoused by sociopaths only leads to cults and fascists. This seemingly betrays a false understanding of fascism. Fascism very much espouses "who": They are keeping you down. They have taken from you what is rightfully yours. They are denying your birthright. They are inferior and patethic but also all-powerful and threatening. They are coming for your children. Fascism doesn't require sociopathy, quite the opposite: fascism utilizes empathy but denies its out-group their status as human. Yes, it does so by promising a return to an imagined past greatness but the practical appeal works on a personal level.
