for real wtf. I have an old crossman .177 bb gun that I was teaching my 11 year old cousin to shoot cans with and the first thing I did was teach him to treat it just like you would any firearm and the safety basics. Fascists are often so caught up in the aesthetics of violence that they skip the necessary step of discipline and respect for the weapons they fetishize.
Isn’t it an established pattern that fascists tend to be terrible at risk assessment, but it makes them more likely to succeed at things because they actually try them?
The scale can go all the way down to individuals, though. Assassination attempts tend to be far-right-wing idiots, even if their most volatile targets are also far-right-wing. They only ever succeed because they’re willing to take the risk, while center and left-wing people who have similar inclinations decide against it.

When you have a hard time conceptualizing the value of a life, those precautions don’t seem to matter as much.

They only succeed until they get in over their head, start multiple wars, and end up shooting themselves in a bunker somewhere.
