The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as “Trump wins!!” and “Economy booms!” Other headlines appear to be references to World War I.
They’ve sat down at the table with Nazis (quite literally with some of their supporters), so they may as well have to defend or accept it publicly rather than being crypto fascists about it.
They literally cannot admit it: any discussion on the topic devolves into reverse accusations about how leftism is the new fascism, even though that’s a fuckin’ stupid thing to say.
Conservatism has morality exactly backwards: they see their ideology as “good,” so obviously fascism can’t be on that same side of the spectrum! They see their beliefs and values as clearly superior because they hold them. There’s no intellectual integrity there, which is why they change their minds about policy only when it has a negative impact on their life. They haven’t carefully considered the topic; they’ve been force-fed reactionary propaganda that keeps that from happening.
Lies and anti-intilectualism are the fertilizer that fascism requires to thrive; winding up the “woke” is a deliberate effort to recruit more reactionaries.
They will never admit it, because that ruins the game.
