      Yep, and for many of the centrists, they stood to profit a ton from collaboration with the Nazis. Numerous companies worldwide profited off of colaboration with the Nazi regime.

      The idea that fascism is just a “dangerous idea to be stopped in debate halls” ignores the economic reasoning for why it appears in the first place, which is why liberals always side with fascists.
