And how would you go about getting someone to recognize the fascists they're standing next to for what they are in such a situation?

By somehow getting them to question their old dogma and think maybe they might have been wrong. Then they might open their mind up and seek/absorb new information.

Which you're less likely to be able to do with name calling and aggressive behavior, yes?

Not for me it wasn't. I was a comfortable (but disgruntled) liberal before stumbling on CTH years and years ago (this is a new handle I made early this year). Maybe I was further along in my journey and was already primed for it but I connected with the vibe immediately. That was when I actually started my leftist academic journey in earnest and started participating/contributing to local groups/orgs.

The shitposts got me to read more books and do more stuff than being disappointed by the democratic party for years by myself ever did.
