Earlier in this conversation, it was stated that the prevalent political stance here is left-wing, and that people who complain about politics usually disagree with the prevalent stance.
If that's true, that means the people who don't care about politics are usually centrist at best, or right-wing.
You decry not caring about politics because not caring helps the fascists, but if the people who aren't caring would lean right anyways (and you presumably believe right-wingers are fascists or fascist-enablers,) then getting them to care is only going to harm your cause.
Even if they somehow don't have a stance, if you tell them they're not allowed to be ambivalent, do you expect them to join your side?
