Indifference to victimization, not overt bigotry, enables fascism.

Evidence

It was not anti-Semitic attitudes which were ultimately decisive, but attitudes and behaviour which lacked any reverence for living beings, for people, for the victims of discrimination. It was not anti-Semitism which was decisive, but the lack of any genuine anti-anti-Semitism. This lack made even those who never slipped into any form of anti-Semitism, even among trusted friends or in a familiar atmosphere, into `anti-Semitoids’ (Horkheimer’s term). — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 446
