After all the point of mentioned WWII related concerns was how Nazi's rose to power, the question that historians usually ask is how did it slide so far without people trying to stop it, and the reality was it was small cautionary things being ignored and that ignorance allowing an escalation of increasingly brazen acts resulting in the personification of an evil empire.
I guess it's that respect in short you could imply "I worry", I worry that the state of the world is literally in a form of freefall with self-destructive intent and I as an individual can't do anything to dissuade it from ending that way. (Not quite "The end of the world is nigh" but close I guess)
The US has the best safeguards against the worst of history repeating, as its founders were well-aware of the many pitfalls...being well-versed in history and political philosophy. They worried about factions that could become as polarized as they have, but they also knew that adversarial parties and self-interested and strictly limited branches of government would keep the pendulum from swinging too far or too long in one direction without any course correction.
So this worry of yours may be appropriate to your own country, I don't know, but it is completely irrelevant in the US. These tiny groups get to have their little marches and makes their little speeches to each other so they don't feel so completely oppressed that they seek to do actual damage. Whereas in many western countries, such expression is deemed "hate speech" and not allowed at all...potentially building up an unseen pressure-cooker.
I'd be much more worried about such people who cannot express themselves and let us know who and how many they are.
