If I tell a young black man he is gonna grow up to be a criminal, that makes him more likely to grow up to become a criminal.
Especially if I refuse to debate him and instead hurl insults at him and viciously deride him.
The same is true of the ordinary and the middle-of-the-road people when it comes to fascism.
The best way to create fascists is to attack and histrionically go after non-fascists and demand they conform to our way of thought.
Just being left-wing and going after people out of disgust over their opinions, I've accidentally alienated more people and created more fascists than any of these limp-wrist right-wing conservatives could ever hope to create.

I only realized it years later.
Radicalism begets radicalism.
