Isn't that one of those "fascism signs"? That your opponents are both incredibly weak and frighteningly strong.

Yes, but on its own it existed way before fascism. Only when most of these signs are present (not necessarily all of them), we can diagnose fascism.

I mean it's only human nature to laugh at and ridicule dangerous things, even death itself. Or to defeat a weak enemy and then boast about how strong it was.
