Good short-term cure for acute fascists, but the long-term cure for fascism is to run society so the vast majority of people are very happy, so they don't fall for con artists who promise to relieve their misery.

Even with growing disparity between the ultra wealthy and regular people most people in developed countries still score very highly for human development with a lot of freedoms, access to health, education and live reasonably prosperous lives by historical standards.
Its been a long time since most of us saw widespread famine or war or plagues decimating our populations. There is good reason to demand more social and economic progress which you would think would increase the appeal of that and not the politics of self destruction. There is no sane reason to burn it all down for most people.
Yet fascism still seems to be in a massive resurgence. Something really odd is happening. There is a huge information war that has seriously undermined society. It has taken over many religious groups, outsider groups like conspiracy believers and alt health, and conservative leaning parties. It is in online gaming and image boards and normie social media. It preys on social immature males appealing to their insecurities. It preys on people looking for spiritual connections and community. Seeing peace and love hippies standing side by side with Christians and full on Nazis is fucking weird but I saw it during COVID.
The fascists were always there but they were not a political force and there is no reason they should ever be again. Not sure why it is happening or why we are letting it happen. It is certainly not in our interests. It always ends badly.
The shitstain Stewart Rhodes lost his eyeball when he attempted to clean a loaded pistol. Yep, there are dumb fucking idiots with guns.
My wife shot herself in the eye with a confetti cap gun last night trying to see if it was loaded. She literally pointed it at her face and pulled the trigger.

Personally, I'd prefer a larger caliber for Nazi hunting.
We have better applicators now that can cure a plethora of fascists in one swift move.
Medical technology sure has come a long way. I cant imagine why anyone would be doubtful of it
