   I just wish folks would understand how much time and energy fascists spend on normalizing, promoting and recruiting for fascists. These dudes ain't got ANYTHING else going on in their lives, they spend all day, every day, trying to figure out how to create more fascists; and there's a metric fuck ton of rich/affluent people willing to help them, and even pay them to do it. Nazis know full damn well "hi we're the SS" won't sell, so they use a whole spread of tactics to inject this shit in public.

     This whole project has so many different facets to it, so many different targeted communities; the comparison to cigarettes companies is apt because you've got a wall full of "flavors" and different styles of marketing, but at the end of the day it's all the same product - in this case, fascism/nazism

     When people talk about "X to fascism pipeline" this is what they mean; it's an active process designed to drag folks, by their own reactionary dogshit, deeper and deeper till you hit "yay Hitler"

     Anywhere you find a bunch of white people, or white coded activities, you're going to find nazis trying to normalize fascist ideology using a kind of conveyer belt system, that more or less works like a mystery cult. It'll start with hints, or framing reaction as resistance and justice, but the whole purpose of that is to keep handing you off to more and more explicitly fascist options as you work your way to the right. Because again, "hello, we're the Nazis; come join us" doesn't sell well.

     And like I told you before, you can't be TRICKED into being a fascist, you gotta choose that. But they sure as shit know most ppl aren't going to just up and choose that without a whole lot of permission gates and justifications. So they tailor all this shit to specific subgroups, preying on the inherent reaction most ppl carry around with them already in a fascist colonizer society. And they're everywhere; they're talking to your kids, you Auntie at spin class, your cousin what likes camping.

     At some point, you take a step back and look at it, and it becomes 100% clear that it's totally intentional. And it is IS. I've seen the group chats, I've read the sekret white papers. These folks, fascists, really are sitting around all day spitballing how to convince more people to choose fascism. They really have created a marketing process that borrows heavily from cults and Madison Avenue. They really ARE designing a "brand" of fascism for each member of the whole family. All day, every day

     @AnarchoNinaWrites It’s sooooo frustrating that _everyone_ thinks you’re crazy for pointing out when something is fascist propaganda/tropes/etc, and you then spend the next few hours breaking it down, and explaining it over family dinner or whatever, and it completely kills the mood but it has to be done.

     You know, "hello, were the Nazis" might actually sell among people using the word "woke". Like, I know a few people who would actually be more sympathetic towards the literal nazi just because they are "cancelled by the woke left". But then, it's Poland. It's probably different. Our society is very right-wing and opposes change.

     @rad Well, if the class of fascist 35% of our society is sending into government is any indication, we ain't that far behind. But in the meantime, they're working pretty hard on normalizing nazism and recruiting everywhere there are white people; especially online.

     And in some cases, not just White folk.

     See Herschel Walker's US Senate run in Georgia, and the GOP's current official nominee for governor in North Carolina, who essentially is Jesse Helms II, but with extra melanin. Also, classics like Alan Keyes, Star Parker, and "Rev" James "Homodemons" Manning. Fundamentalist Black Christians are very suspectable as vectors for sneaking in Nazism.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites @Alonealastalovedalongthe

     Fascism seems like an awkward marriage between all the low-ranking reactionary troopers who conveniently and habitually explain everything by looking for scapegoats and the rich who absolutely don't feel like sharing anything but instead seek to aquire everything they possibly can, taking it away from everybody else - basic rights and freedoms included.

     It's not new. It's been like this forever, but fossils surely escalate shit now for a reason.

     @Alonealastalovedalongthe I mean they're absolutely the driving force. A lot of people ask me "why now?" And I think the answer is pretty simple; the planet is boiling, either capitalism goes or a habitat that can support 8B+ people does. They know full damn well you're not going to CHOOSE to die for capitalism/rich people, so you must not be given a choice. Easiest way to accomplish that? Fascism, across the entire Pig Empire.

     They're paying because fascism protects their power and wealth.

     Lets not forget the absurd amount of money poured into enabling these people by rich assholes with no better hobby to do either.

     @AnthonyJK @rad Yeah, that's fair; but I mean white supremacy is at the core of this movement, they're just selling crackers and rubes fascism but "from my Black friend who says it's right and good and okay."
