TLDR: Russia backs these groups to undermine Western societies. Nazis admire Putin because of shared disdain for democracy.

I wouldn’t want to associate with Nazis then, clearly they support supremacy, secrecy, and a criminal state. Democracy is associated with fairness, openness, and justice.

I would like to think that the US educational system inoculates everyone from those dreadful -isms.

People who feel shafted by society will reject its values. No amount of inoculation prevents that. The best way of prevention is to genuinely care for the rejected.

Then Nazism is truly tragic, for those that follow it are the most prone to rejecting others. It seems so trivial, and yet we fall short.

If it wasn't the far-right it would be anything else. It's just a geopolitical game.

How nihilistic, it seemed possible you would be willing to endorse and encourage greater ideals.
