From my experience, both “progressives” and “reactionaries” on LW often think that they’re the true oppressed minority, and the other side claims to be oppressed only to gain status or something. So if you’re angry because you feel oppressed, it’s probably pointless to direct that anger at the other side, because the other side feels the same way. Be angry at human nature instead...
I doubt his anger has to do with feeling like an oppressed minority for his political beliefs. It sounds like he’s more angry about classism, sexism and authoritarianism.

Given his history, I suspect it’s because he doesn’t like the positions held by the “fascists” but can’t refute their arguments.
Whoops, sorry, you’re right. I should’ve said “weak” instead of “oppressed”.
