I just don’t understand what makes Nazi idiology attractive to so many people. If I had to guess, I’d say for their “foot soldiers” it might be the strange “logic” of this obtuse ideology that allows people to say: “I’m better than you in every way” - without giving any reasons whatsoever and therefore even if the people in question have nothing at all to show for themselfs. In case of their leaders, the only ones that actually profit, I do kinda understand: It’s plain and simple unscrupulous lust for power and influence. In both cases: uncivilized and disgusting.

The leaders and vanguard of fascism are typically small capitalists; they’ve been privileged by society, but at the same time they’re victim of the whim of the markets. Such people will never believe the problem is capitalism, since that system rewarded them so much, so they’ll grasp at other solutions, such as jews for not doing capitalism correctly, or some vague moral degeneration, or communist saboteurs, or some combination thereof.
Look at the makeup of jan 6ers. There’s trade shows with fewer car dealership owners.
They like to fantasize about killing people they don’t like, and while normal people react to this with horror, other Nazis applaud and encourage them.
