It definitely takes action and time to be recognized. One of the local VVN-BdA people I know did get away from literally being a fascist (parents were aligned to Nazi orgs and send their kids into nazi summer camps) when he was 18 over the last 10-20 years and now is an antifascist with a track record. Did take some amount of time to garner trust though and quite a bit of work I guess.
How long ago (roughly) was the experience you wrote about?
Long enough for me to get the picture that none of those people will ever see anything I do as acceptible. Hell, one of them is even married to a mask-off, owns a trench knife with a swastika on it, real life Nazi, but God forbid anyone ever confront him about it.
If only more local people could see that....

10 years ago soon enough.
