Feel like there's a spectrum here, tho I doubt most people who answered that poll were thinking of it this way:
Would I rather someone I love be dipping their toes in fascist thought, but still able to be pulled back from the brink with gentle guidance (Like many on this site likely did in their younger, edgier days), or severely addicted to hard drugs? Probably the former.
On the flipside: Would I rather them be dealing with the beginnings of addiction, or be literally Hitler? Definitely the former.
Either way, comparing the 2 is dumb since being a fascist and being an addict are not mutually exclusive, and they're very different concepts anyway.
