As much as I'm tempted to also imagine that there's just two kinds of people, and that the people who gradually say "yes" to maga, and to remigration, and to the wonderful new opportunities offered by ai, and to the "obvious need to defend the nation", - that would be precisely the " fascist" thing to say. That there are inherently good people, and inherently bad people.

...and my eyes keep telling me otherwise. At least in my modest experience, encountering, in Academia and in FLOSS, people who are not so many handshakes away from the money printer, and who sometimes indeed have the bad ideas, they were all of them... not evil. Just weak. Even when strong in abstract, not strong enough for this.
