See, it’s a good practice under the principle of charity to read as much fascist propaganda as you can and incorporate it into your worldview. It doesn’t matter who said things, but rather whether they’re true, and since you’re a rational agent you can surely evaluate each claim with perfect objecitivity. Digging a 19th-century eugenics study is expanding your objectivity score. Reading polemics from leftists too? lol no what are you talking about, they’re all irrational and biased /s
