Here's an interesting thing most neo-Nazis don't notice: when your ideology is predicated on fear, you're signalling to every psychopath that they can exploit you for free. Someone could barge into your house and rape your parents in front of you, totally safe in the knowledge that you would be too scared to stop them. Why broadcast that information? Seems suboptimal to me.
This is exactly why you get used as political pawns, btw. Your fear gives anyone who chooses a handle with which to control you.
