How Fascism Works

The primary insight of this model is that fascism is not simply the result of a single cause, but rather the culmination of a complex interplay of reinforcing feedback loops that amplify and perpetuate each other... Once these loops gain momentum, they create a self-reinforcing cycle that can lead to the concentration of power, suppression of dissent, and ultimately, the establishment of a fascist regime.

They can't stop pretending to be victims: "Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz... saying it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.”"

"Under heavy pressure from the right, and with the help of #elonmusk, the leading tech platforms opened the floodgates for propaganda to spread unchecked. The result was a flood of lies and distortions flowing through our social media feeds. That led to possibly the most misinformed electorate we’ve ever seen."

Technology is an amplifier and what Big Tech amplifies is fascism.

You want to amplify the opposite? Then build, raise awareness about, and help fund the opposite:

A florist decided she didn’t want to serve fascists, and immediately began receiving death threats. Now she’s closing her shop for several days out of fear for her safety and the safety of her employees. MAGA is domestic terrorism.

"While the Congressional Budget Office estimates this mass deportation will cost at least $88 billion a year, another cost that is rarely mentioned is that according to Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants currently pay about $100 billion a year in taxes. Losing that income, too, will likely have to be made up with cuts from elsewhere."

"Today Trump confirmed that he intends to bypass normal legal constraints on his actions by declaring a national emergency on his first day in office in order to launch his mass deportation of undocumented migrants."

We're living in the time of a president-elect who learned from Hitler that you should occasionally be nice enough to influential figures to make them happy that you don't sue them. Then, many of them say nice things about you.

trump and bibi have learned:
- genocide is okay if you don't tell people that you're nazis
- genocide is okay if the victims aren't jewish

Are there enough learned people left in the world to stand up to this?

How much do you think Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are getting from trump for the new, more flattering covering? $1 million? $10 million? The money is certainly in trump's corner. How else do you get people to lose any sense of ethics, morality, pride or values? You pay them off. Influential people and influential companies are caving at a disgusting rate.

"'These choices aren’t just controversial; they require us to stay vigilant about how each potential new Cabinet member could negatively affect our lives.'

But I think we’re missing the bigger picture. These nominations signal the totalitarian drift that’s coming to Washington and the country. Yes, that’s right. No, I’m not exaggerating. It’s time to start using that word."

Stoehr says totalitarian.

I say fascist.

John Stoehr on why Trump is appointing monstrosities to his cabinet:

"Among liberals, the discussion seems to be limited to the absurdities each of these people brings to governance as well as the dangers they pose. 'Yes, shake your head at the seeming absurdity of these picks,' wrote MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. 'But don’t stop there.'"

Timothy Snyder zeroes in on the Russian-generated psyops the Republican party used in this campaign to suppress Harris votes:

"'The entire goal of the campaign was to push her numbers down,' as a top Trump advisor said. This was achieved by the familiar phantom combination: oligarchical money + psychographic information about individuals + social media delivery system + demotivational message."

"He wasn’t kidding. Donald Trump really does want to rule as an extremist strongman, with contempt for the planet, for America’s allies and for the rule of law. He’s made that crystal clear this week, announcing one bombshell appointment after another, each one a declaration of intent."

For the idiots who still don't get #Putin after 24 years in charge of an expansionist russian colonial empire (aka russian federation), if they start calling him now, without simultaneously INCREASING military supplies to #Ukraine as winter sets in, and doubling down on #sanctions as russia+DPRK #fascism is strengthened, Putin will interpret those calls as proof of a successful campaign of #terror, sabotage and subversion, and intensify his colonial imperialist #war

Analysis: "How Matt Gaetz Used Daddy’s Money to Become Trump’s Favorite Congressman"

"Gaetz, 37, has earned a reputation for becoming one of the party’s highest-profile members by cheerleading for the president & emulating his public bullying & trolling.

"Gaetz’s political ascent was fueled by a rich father who paved his way, & a series of unorthodox financial maneuvers."

Just like his mentor..

'Europe's last #dictator' crushes opposition with dozens arrested before #elections

The #Viasna #HumanRights center said more than 100 people have been arrested across #Belarus in the last week, with many of the arrests targeting participants in online chats.

By Brigid Brown
15:36 ET, Wed, Nov 6, 202

"A tyrant once dubbed Europe's last dictator has initiated a rigorous campaign to squash #dissent ahead of elections in January.

"More 100 people were detained in various cities across #Belarus where #AlexanderLukashenko is campaigning for reelection, according to reports from the Viasna human rights center on Wednesday, since last Thursday

The crackdown has been aimed at individuals active in apartment building online chat groups, which residents used to arrange practical matters like maintenance and communal services, now accused by the government of being part of an 'extremist' network."

#OcasioCortez Warns #Trump #NYCRally Was Primer for Taking Power 'by Force'

"That's what they're doing when they're inciting violence and hatred against #Latinos, against #BlackAmericans, against Americans who don't have children."

Brett Wilkins
Oct 28, 2024

"U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned Monday that the hate-filled campaign rally held by former Republican President Donald Trump at #MadisonSquareGarden in New York City was meant to further prime supporters for another #January 6 - style attempt to seize power by force if Democratic Vice President #KamalaHarris wins next month's election.

"Sunday's event—which drew comparisons to a #1939NaziRally that packed the iconic Midtown Manhattan arena—featured speakers including billionaire #ElonMusk, conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and comedian #TonyHinchcliffe, who called the U.S. territory of #PuertoRico a 'floating island of garbage.'

"Although the Trump campaign has attempted to distance the GOP presidential candidate from Hinchcliffe's bigoted remarks, Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said during a Monday interview on MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' that Sunday's event was 'not just a presidential rally,' it was 'a hate rally.' "
