It's been surprise-heavy, and it's all my own fault. I've been listening to waaaaaaaay too many podcasts about terrorism and white supremacist groups, which lead myself to having a good, long car think on if I'm radicalizing myself in the opposite direction, which... I guess if it stays in the realm of "fuck Nazis" it's not so bad.

Also got a comment on a six year old fanfic and I'm scared to look.

Depends if the "fuck Nazis" stuff is actually directed at Nazis or if it's at middle of the road conservatives imo. It's a problem when you start seeing everything as a threat.

I think it depends on what you call middle of the road, because middle of the road 2019 isn’t the same as middle of the road 2009. But, I definitely don’t view everyone who disagrees with me as a threat.

I agree that there's a real, meaningful distinction between moderate conservatives and far-right extremists.

But I also think that there's an important conversation to have about the extent to which the policies and goals of those two groups have been similar and the extent to which moderate conservatism was and is willing to make use of far right extremist tendencies. And I also think that the far right has largely captured and taken over pretty much all conservative institutions and structures.

As someone who comments on years old fic, I doubt many people would say something bad. So I wouldn't be worried if I were you!
