it IS interesting and worth examining. couched in all those moving parts are simultaneous appeals to populism and also disgust for pedophiles. over time those values got overwritten by hero-worship and schadenfreude, but they started somewhere less evil. it's kind of why I felt deep down like maga people could be saved by degrees if leftists actually wanted to deradicalize the right.
too late now, the fascism train has no brakes. but there's something about the human psyche to be studied here.
