neo-fascism is something we now have to actively unite to stand against, a warning sign for our time

(3,447 posts)...it would be impossible for fascism to be on the rise. Literally impossible. People don't go looking for fascism unless they feel that's the only way to fix things. It's not something you just wake up and say 'Oh, yah, by the way I think Evola was right, Deus Vult!' You have to be disenfranchised first, because there is no fascist message on television. You need a REASON to check out of the status quo. Then you have to find some fascists - easier now, but you still ultimately need to know of Reddit and/or 4chan (something few normal people know of). Then you have to internalize that fascism. All while defeating the squick that such topics naturally create after literally 60 years of FASCISM IS EVIL.
No, 'standing against' fascism only empowers it. We must stand against the circumstances that prompt the disengagement. We must make sure no one truly believes they are disenfranchised.
