I was looking around for a succinct statement/explanation of why listening to fascism/giving it a voice might make you feel like a open-minded person who listens to “all sides” but is actually very, very dangerous. This thread is great.
And, see, I agree with this!
But this is not Star Wars! This is Earth. This is a different context.
I do find it very important to clearly avoid giving actual fascists a platform!
That is not the same thing as demanding that my fictional villains have complexity.
