While this applies to issues like abortion and animal rights, it fails to describe the "fascist" case in many other debates, such as those about homosexuality, marijuana legalization, organ markets, inequality (not absolute poverty, inequality), etc. I don't think most people who are against homosexuality believe that it's harmful, they just have a "Yuck!" response to it, which they think justifies opposition to it.
It's worth noting that the overwhelming majority of humanity opposes yucky things; it's just the western college-educated liberal cluster that's weird and thinks they're ok as long as they don't hurt anyone else. So yeah, I think the whole premise of the post is off, or at least not cross-culturally generalizable.
