You might’ve noticed Framework, the laptop manufacturer, embroiled in a controversy as of now. The Discord server is on lockdown because the volunteer moderation team has gone on hiatus, and the Framework forum post about the controversy has been gaining unsightly amounts of steam from people disappointed at actions taken by Framework.

I don't agree with most of what you're saying. While fascism and white supremacy causes immense harm, you still have to see individuals as people.

That would work, if it wasn't individuals who don't see others as people. The moment someone dehumanizes others, there are dedicated professional who can babysit them back to sanity.

i do not actually. if I start treating fascists as people, that's how trans and disabled women end up dead with the blame placed on us for not being submissive enough during the assault

When I criticize a fascist I can criticize that individual. When I want someone who advocates harm to be stripped of power, I can mean that person specifically. We absolutely must treat these people as individuals, but individuals can do bad things, they can be wrong.

Just because the powerful encourage hate speech and violence does not mean that it's okay. Don't forget the solution to the paradox of tolerance: don't tolerate intolerance.
