There's a political illiteracy in our politics (I'm including Canada, but more prevalent in the US it seems) that says fascism is hitler himself and the swastika and nothing else.

Which makes their confidence in their literacy so bizarre. koheripbal's reaction to the uncontroversial observation is to first convince himself that it must be wrong and then project a specific and fantastical reason to explain why we have observed it. He really thinks he has figured something out.
