Nah, it's usually easy to tell when people genuinely hate both sides, because they normally say they're still against Fascism - which, y'know, I'm generally okay with even if I disagree with it. It's the ones who merely play up the "both sides" angle without that that are of concern.
How is saying "both sides" any more "crypto-fascist" (that's basically what you're saying) than explicitly stating their opposed to fascists? They're still implying that they hold views at odds with things "both sides" commit or support.
The former's just uncritical demonization of both sides without any exploration into the context of why those sides exist or why they do what they do, whereas the latter is at least showing that they understand the finer nuances between AntiFA and Fascism, even if they have staunch disagreements with the methodology of various AntiFA movements.

You have my sincerest apology that I can't come up with a poll that features concrete numbers on the number of people who feign a hatred of both sides in support of Fascism.
Indeed, I know that you're just talking shit that you can't back up.
Also, you cast a much, much wider net than just those "feigning" hatred of both sides. "Unwitting" and "otherwise support", I seem to recall. Positively Marxist levels of paranoia, there, and no evidence, to boot. Tsk, tsk.
I've really got no reason to talk shit, chief. I've seen it happen before, and if you're so certain to call me a liar over it, I'll gladly go hunting down some examples.
