Oh believe me, it's not just technical people! Whenever I have to rely on my co-worker's notes or emails, I often feel completely lost and bewildered.

I really want to argue, but that would result in total derailment to a minor detail that doesn't change the points made in the post in any way, so I'll just let people search for Franco and Putin on their own and not give it more thought or consideration

Edit: The more I think about it, the stronger the "argument for the sake of argument" vibes I'm getting from this comment. This ain't r/AskHistorians

I've read their comment so many times, and I still don't understand what they're trying to say. I feel like if I could understand who the strawmen are that they're referring to, maybe it would click for me.

Fascism would eventually consume them all. That's what it does.

What strawman in whose head?

I don't know who he is. I'm just calling him that based on this particular post. For all I know, he might be a fine person who just had a bad take. I just loathe the gaslighting about "mean leftists made me conservative"

I know some anarchists from Alberta, but they've never mentioned him.

Says right there he was a conservative

I'm not a big fan of these YouTubers, but I watched this after someone shared it on discord, and it's actually good

This is also true, and I've seen it happen. The important thing to remember unlike Steve Bootlicker up there is the burden is not ever on us to change them, and it is never our fault they are conservatives, no matter what we do.
