Current US Military

[Smitty-48]

at the end of the day I am a Neoconservative

Thatcherite Neoconservative

like Reagan & Thatcher, when forced to choose sides, we side against the Communists with anybody who is willing to fight them

I am also a member of the Military Death Cult : God, Queen, Country, Regiment, Corps, Commander-in-Chief

Fascism refers to enforced conformity to an ideal - the death of free thought.
Not sure where you got the idea that it’s anything else.. perhaps from the imbecilic mobs in Washingstan?

[DBTrek]

Official US Marines account now attacking civilians.

Fascism refers to enforced conformity to an ideal - the death of free thought.

not the case,

the Fascists only enforced conformity of thought that the socialist left was an existential threat requiring force to put down

so long as you were down for that, which at the time most Americans were, you could go about your business

[DrYouth]

the paradigm is called Revanchism

the mechanism is National Humiliation

the key ingredients are military defeat followed by financial collapse

the Neoliberal order is Weimar

America did not win the Cold War, postmodernism won the Cold War, the Soviets were brought down by Information Warfare

that then turned against America and now America is facing a Soviet like collapse as well

Is it malicious National Humiliation by an enemy that hates us (shadowy cabal, CCP, etc.) , or is it incidental National Humiliation in that we're humiliated by our failure to perform?

Excellent question...

I say the latter.

[Smitty-48]

you have to separate Nazism from the much more banal Fascism

Fascism is not Hitler, Fascism is Franco, America's long time stalwart ally until he died in his sleep in 1975

[Smitty-48]

in actual fact Hitler modeled his National Socialist Reich on America

the Nazis had the American Mania for Positive Thinking

the Soviet Union was simply their Wild East

which they were going to expand into, taking it from the natives, making an America of their very own

[Smitty-48]

racial segregation, the Nazis got that from America as well

the German Empire had actually been Mutlicutural

the Nazis found that to be the reason it fell

in America they saw the model of how to prevent it, segregation

Fascists get bogged down by the Rulebound Scolds as easily as the next organization.

You get Fascist Woke.

Telling you you aren't woke to the fascist rule book.

You aren't woke to the latest Charismatic Leader.

You aren't following the rules and washing your hands and wearing your mask correctly.

You aren't following the sexual propriety of the day, wether that be dressing in the correct trousers and skirt or sufficiently pro-trans... it's all the same.

What annoys us is the Rulebound Scolds.

The ones who cling to their rulebooks and etiquette lessons... wag their fingers and emasculate the brave.

The Fascists have their fat cats Karen and Chads, bullying the real leaders and entrepreneurs as well as any other top down intellectual elite that there ever was.

Good old Fascism is not an improvement on the Woke Fascism we are seeing today.
