Oh look, it’s just fascism again.
Why is it that when these whackos start describing their fascist plans for society, there are people who respond like it’s a groundbreaking concept, some bold new vision of the future? None of this is new, it’s the same old tired goosestepping shit.
There have been fascist psychopaths arround as long as humans exist. BUT: when a fascist psychopath gets support among important figures of the industrial and financial sector, that is when you should start to panic.
Well yeah, that’s kind of my point. Why does anyone hear this shit and respond like it’s something new?
I am not contradicting you, but added my thoughts to your argument. I just started this by summarizing the parts of your argument to which I wanted to add.
It’s not facism if no one’s allowed to call it that!
Old tired goosestepping shit was called a groundbreaking concept too.
There are mechanisms in human societies where being part of a pack is advantageous. Which is why that shit, openly or not, reemerges all the time.
Being part of a pack even feels right - because that’s what human instincts tell you, that you are stronger and better this way. That emotion makes one feel anything fascist as groundbreaking, young, new, strong, and at the same time “not degenerate” and healthy.
Actually the other way around, fascism aimed for that feeling from the very beginning, that’s its core.
