The assumption of "good intentions" is not really warranted at this point. This movement is mainly driven by people who feel they have been marginalized by our society, and they want to lash out and see other people get hurt, period.
Regardless of the ways they have been marginalized, and how much marginalization they have done to themselves by failing to engage with the complexity of the world and following malicious leaders instead, this is where we are at. We need to stare this bare reality in the face lest the supporters, enablers, and fence-sitters continue soothing themselves with rationalizations.

This is what drives facism: It is not your fault you feel bad, it's them, over there This is why it is so important to "cuddle a facist". Facism feeds on violence, showing love and compassion to those whom you disagree with robs fascism of its oxygen
