Nazis literally rose to power because the centrists in Germany allied with them, thinking that the far right wouldn't be that bad.
Yep, and for many of the centrists, they stood to profit a ton from collaboration with the Nazis. Numerous companies worldwide profited off of colaboration with the Nazi regime.
The idea that fascism is just a "dangerous idea to be stopped in debate halls" ignores the economic reasoning for why it appears in the first place, which is why liberals always side with fascists.
And it happens again, like, everywhere 😔
