Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."

What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,
'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'
Honestly, this shit needs to stop. Acknowledging that some fascists have been good at something at some point does not detract in any way from being anti-fascist.
If you claim that fascist are dumb, stupid and can achieve nothing, what do you think the masses will think about your message when the fascists turn out to be competent? They will wonder what other things you are wrong about.
So I say to you: stop being a fascist enabler.
Well first of all, xkcd.com/386. And also: because I don't like fascism or promoting the spread of fascism.
There's a saying that reading history may help prevent repeating the mistakes of history. You should try some of that.
To reiterate: the reason to be anti-fascist has absolutely nothing to do with how good they are at doing things.
