The hypocrisy gotcha doesn’t work on fascists. They revel in double standards, the hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. They believe in one set of rules that protect the in-group and another that binds the out-group. That’s the point.
Fascism isn’t built on scientific reasoning or universal morality but on dominance, power, and the appeal to feelings of supremacy. Trying to trap fascists in contradictions is a waste of time; they’ll change positions mid-argument without shame. The goal isn’t to debate them into reason but to deny them the thrill of impunity, to attach negative social and material consequences to being a fascist through shame, ridicule, social exclusion or physical force.
