Unlike Echo Chamber Central over here, I’ve actually talked to people from the radical end of our opposition. It’s even more horrifying to hear the genocidal rhetoric coming from someone who is merely possessed by ideology rather than unhinged in some way.
Ideologically committed Nazis that actually read theory and understand why they beleive what they do are like the most slimy, disgusting, horror movie type people you can ever interact with.
Most of these chuds are just caught up in the ideological undertow of our existing system. They pick up on the inherent white nationalism and exploitation of the status quo and just passively accept it as good and anything that challenges it as bad. It's the ones that see the underbelly and see it as weak and not enough that start to drive genocidal rhetoric into the mainstream.
In America at least, it's strikingly rare to find fascists who actually know what they're talking about because they have sense enough to say the quiet parts quiet. They're fully aware of current America's ability to enact almost everything they could ever want and are content to worm their way into power through the available means. See Stephen Miller for an example. These scumbags are more common than we probably realize because they've had decades of figuring out how to craft plausible deniability and dogwhistles.
Everyday real life chuds are more often either just depressing or small business dipshits. Neither of them know how to articulate the quiet part or even the loud part, so they mix it all up and end up with a muddled pile of slurs and homophobia. It is often frightening though, so I know what you mean. It's often very frightening to meet someone for the first time, see a glint of humanity in their eyes, then you get to know them a little better until the FoxNews and racism just comes dripping out of their mouths. Not even fully formed or coherent, just a mangled mush of racist genocidal rhetoric and flippant cultural grievances over cartoon characters. It's such a terrible feeling, getting to know someone just to watch the light drain from their face as they begin to complain about Mr Potato Head's gender.

Yeah, actually seeing the gears turning in someone's head and them choosing hatred and genocide is an awful feeling.
