@kobi_lacroix Years ago, I remember reading a thing saying that people tended to fall under two mindsets with how they approached problem-solving and conflict resolution: the "soldier" mentality and the "scout" mentality. Basically, the scout wants to get the facts and get them right, while the soldier just wants to win for the sake of winning.

Needless to say it's an oversimplification of how people work, but fascists definitely fall under the "soldier" mindset.

@kobi_lacroix Okay, I just went googling, and a more accurate description of the scout mindset is that the scout seeks to understand things.
