No. Fascism killed about a thousand people per year in recent years [1]. Loneliness killed about a million per year (870 k) [2]. [1]: https://deathtofascism.co

  That really depends on which states you consider to be fascist.

  In the future, fascists will call themselves anti-fascists

    In the future?

  *recent years... hm... what happens if we map history to now (rhymes likes chimes)... what should we expect to see then? And to be frank. Only fascists fraternize with fascists. It probably also contributes to the loneliness epidemic when no one will be their friend because of their racist/nationalist/sexist beliefs except other such degenerates (who aren't really their friends at all). You aren't friends with fascists. Fascists have no friends, only temporary allies. NEVER TRUST A FASCIST: EVER. Fascism is far far worse than loneliness for society. Fascism causes world wars. Loneliness doesn't cause that level of societal destruction. Fascism is evil.

    We didn’t have loneliness epidemics at the same time as fascism before, so there’s no data to compare. That’s why I added “in recent years”.

    Even if we take your (unhinged) post at face value, the problem is how people define "fascist". We're seeing some pretty darn loose definitions being thrown around.

    But maybe loneliness causes fascism. (Or at least it creates fertile ground for it.) Lonely men, in particular, looking for somewhere to belong, that nobody else accepts, seem to me to be ripe for fascists to recruit.

      I'd rather be lonely than a fascist. It's not a pipeline. Fascism may try to exploit it. But you are responsible for you: not someone else. Loneliness doesn't turn someone fascist. Fascist tendencies cause loneliness, if anything, not the other way around. No sane person likes those tendencies.
