MODERATORS
Fascism embraces the angry and disillusioned victims of global neoliberalism and capitalism.
Angry, disillusioned, and and gullible. The gullibility is key because otherwise people wouldn't be so easily persuaded to blame their problems on the fascists' chosen scapegoats.
Divide and conquer means only half of your working class understands they're being exploited. If after a few decades it's becoming evident that class consciousness is forming, introduce a foreign strawman into the equation and have a culture war.
introduce a foreign strawman into the equation and have a culture war.
Trans/gender politics are a perfect example of this. Nothing riles up liberals like a minority being oppressed, and nothing riles up conservatives more than minorities having rights.
Same with abortion and almost anything relating to Christianity in government.
Racism etc etc
Put it all together and baby you got a culture war stew goin'! The American way!
This is the end result of having libertarian techbros running the social media show and it doesn't look like it's going to be changing anytime soon
They looked at Bolsonaro's economical, sanitary, environmental, institutional disaster in Brazil and thought, yeah, that's what we want.
Good luck to them.
Argentina's been down this road before. I have no idea why they want to go back.
Because of the shitty alternatives and the 110% annual Inflation.
The far-right is never, ever an alternative.
They won't fix shit in regards to the inflation anyway.
The best part of the online discourse is all of the ill-informed Argentines that voted for him thinking he wasn't a far-right populist, and that he's just a libertarian. The mental gymnastics (and maybe the astroturfing) are real. "He's not far-right, he's just anti-abortion, doesn't believe in climate change, and isn't all that in favor of democracy"
Now they are really screwed.
Yeah we weren't screwed before with 200% annual inflation and no human rights! But we will be, for sure
This is misleading information. The runner up is not a fascist, far right, neither populist.
