Nah, lab rat
The rejection of modernism. Fascists reject the Enlightenment and its evidence-based rationality. The cult of action for action’s sake. Fascist leaders act impulsively, without thinking or planning ahead. No analytical criticism. Fascists ignore nuance and see any disagreement as treasonous. Fear of difference. Fascists fear diversity. Thus they are racist by definition. Appeal to a frustrated middle class. An economically frustrated and/or politically marginalized middle class is easy to stir to anger. Obsession with a plot. Because the followers must be made to feel besieged, an internal “enemy” is provided: Immigrants, Muslims, Hispanics, Blacks. (Historically the Jews were often made to be “the enemy.”) Anti-elitism. The followers are made to feel humiliated by the wealth and strength of the educated “elite.” This is used to create resentment. Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. Fascists believe that life is permanent warfare. Therefore a desire for peace is treasonous. Contempt for the weak. A fascist leader despises his underlings, who in turn despise those under them. They all either mock or ignore the poor, the sick, and the disabled. The cult of heroism. The Fascist is eager to die a hero’s death. In his impatience, he frequently sends other people to their deaths. Machismo. Fascists show disdain for women, disregard for chastity, and condemnation of homosexuality. Selective populism. Under fascism, the “voice of the people” is not the democratic majority, but only the voices of those who support the leader. Ur-fascism speaks Newspeak. Just as in Orwell’s 1984, Fascists use an impoverished vocabulary and an elementary syntax to limit complex and critical reasoning.

I detect background noise, the lac rat must be about. Hearing a fair amount of noise as well, but I'll bet it goes away if you turn off your detector. Let's go Brandon. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ![]() |
