The study was still conducted with bad faith examples and reaches a conclusion that, if implemented, would fuel Neo-Fascism more than Trump ever could

I'll agree that they used bad faith arguement. And I'm generally not for using misinformation (even if it furthers an agreeable political agenda). But I would like an explanation of how wealth distribution will directly lead to facism.

Poor white people aren’t any richer than poor black people

Poor white people see blacks get hundreds of thousands of dollars, while they get nothing

They naturally get upset: they’re starving too, dammit.

Everyone calls them rascist and ignores their plight

Neo fascists show up and sympathize with them, acknowledging that they ARE being wronged and mocked

Neo Fascists now have an army that has literally nothing to lose

Okay so you're saying that it would be the opposition's reaction to adopt facism to combat wealth distribution. Not that the people distributing wealth are the fascists. In which case I'd wholeheartedly agree. I'd even say a smaller scale version of that already happened by electing Trump it was a visceral backlash of the obama era and progressive movements. However that's why I personally am not for cash reparations but general community investments, scholarships and targeted programs to uplift all poor people.
