Fascism is the most short sighted ideology on the planet. It exists in the moment, violently, like an animal of the lowest orders of intelligence. The past? Rewritten to serve the present. The future? An abstraction, useless beyond the moment.

So yeah Fascism totally would have embraced a virus it thought it could re-direct upon the people it deems worthless. And then it would have backfired because Fascism can't plan more than six days into the future and would never have anticipating this shit rubber-banding and slapping them in the face.
