    The creation of jobs is just the tip of the iceberg; fascists are completely delusional. These aren’t smart people who were reasoned into their position. The only way to change their minds is to redirect the social pressure that brought them there.

      Not every person of the right is a fascist.

      Of course, changing the mind of a non-dillusional person is already hard enough.

      The creation of jobs is everything. If your life stops being a competition for survival, people outside your social ingroup stop being existential threats.

        Being right-wing has evolved pretty much into straight fascism these days. There is no real middle ground for moderates anymore.

          Could you elaborate, please? I have the impression that calling somebody a fascist is used inflationary.
