As fascists and fascism have proliferated and started creeping into the mainstream, there has come this strange idea that hating fascists is some kind of performative virtue signaling and not a logical response to genocidal sociopaths who want to torture and kill many of us.
I don't wanna punch fascists because I think it's cute. I want them dead. Because the only good fascist is a dead fascist. It's literally us or them.
The truly awful people among us can't conceive of anyone not being as awful as they are, so they assume everyone else must be faking it. Within that thought process, any example of someone "doing good" must be for some secretly selfish benefit, such as increasing one's own social status with displays of "fake virtue".
People who can't concieve of doing good things or being selfless without some outside motivator terrify me. Whether that's fear of punishment or some nebulous reward in the afterlife, it still boils down to an overwhelmingly selfish worldview.
