We covered the first factor on October 14, 2021. If you don't know what I mean, go read the first few paragraphs of that post and come back. Now we are up to the second in line:
The fascist uses force or intimidation to coerce people to accept their political will.
2. The fascist claim that they are victims and that their opponents are oppressors.
3. The fascist creates a false scapegoat.
4. The fascist seeks to divide and often uses race, ethnicity and/or religion to do it.
5. The fascist gains control of critical social institutions, like the media, the police and the education system.
6. The fascist is dishonest, and often uses fake crises or exaggerates them in order to more easily take or maintain power.
7. The fascist takes complete control of the law and all facets of society within his or her reach – not just the reins of government.
Victimhood is big business today. BLM matter is entirely built on supposed victimhood. While no rational person with an inkling of historical knowledge could deny that blacks, probably along with American Indians (I know, I know, whatever I'm supposed to call them now) have been the biggest victims in American history. Of course they were. Now, quite the opposite. George Floyd's family, proved that with the 27 million they pocketed, if anyone had any doubt. Someone sent me a link to an article recently about the purveyor of so much nouveau hate and newspeak, Ibram X. Kendi, tweeted about white kids pretending they were minorities to get into school, before he scrubbed it, as it proved those white kids certainly think that minorities have a better chance than they do. Actually, it's common knowledge that many schools, including the top schools (Ivy League, etc.) do favor minorities.
But, it is hardly just BLM (who I've said over and over I do not think really represents blacks). Sometimes it seems like every group wants to be a "victim" these days for whatever benefits it brings them. One of the reasons I stopped watching America's Got Talent before I stopped watching all tv was the prevalence of the contestants in who was the biggest victim. The last straw for me was when one contestant performed and as he was leaving the stage, remembered his instructions and yelled out - "And I was bullied!"
Last year some Antifa creature or another yelled out, "We don't want Biden. We want revenge." Leave aside the mental illness or ignorance that must arise before anyone would want to be Antifa, but "revenge?" It can only be because they are self-declared victims. Last year a few Asian-Americans were killed by a psychopath out to kill hookers (I know, I know, I'm not supposed to use that word either) even though the muttonhead himself said it had nothing to do with their ethnicity, but only their jobs.
Whose left? There was a WAPO article a few years ago about which states had what hate crime protection. Among many others:
7 states - the homeless
5 states - the police (who, in some cities, yes, I'd say they were victims).
4 states - political affiliations
Utah had 18 categories including the military, emergency responders and school rivalry
But, that's nothing. The FBI keeps records for hate crimes against American, Indians or Alaska Natives (okay, call me ignorant, but what's the difference?), Arabs, Asians, Blacks Hispanics, Hawaiians/Islanders, whites, any other ethnicity not listed, Buddhists, Catholics, Russian and Greek Orthodox, other Christians or religions, Sikh, atheists and agnostics, Hindus, Islamic, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, or any other religion, gay, bisexual, heterosexual, transgender or non-conforming gender, or mix thereof, the mentally disabled, the physically disabled, men and women.
Isn't that everybody?
But, I'm supposed to be talking about Fascism. Historically, fascists use their self-appointed status as victims to jump start their programs. Hitler was a master of playing the victim card:
- The German nation was a victim of the Allied Powers who enforced an unjust peace on them at the end of WWI, taking their colonies and stripping them of their armed forces. Not surprisingly, German forced Russia to a very similar treaty when they sued for peace with Germany after their own revolution.
- Hitler used the real Reichstag Fire as an excuse why he needed emergency powers which he used to crush opposition.
- Hitler used the assassination of an German embassy official in France by a Jewish young man angry at the expulsion of his family from Germany (arguably, it was over a broken love affair between the official and himself) as an excuse for Kristallnacht and other anti-Jewish actions.
- Hitler claimed that Germans were being attacked in Austria, Czechoslovakia and then Poland when he wanted to attack or threaten those countries into submission. Attacks on Germans in Czechoslovakia were few, so Hitler sent his own troops in under a false flag to attack Germans.
- Hitler claimed that Germans were being attacked by Poles in the Polish Corridor (long story what that is, but Hitler wanted Poland out of it). He then faked a Polish attack on a German radio station on the border as a pretext to attack Poland.
The Bolsheviks acted essentially the same, and despite the fact that the Nazis hated them, were actually a predecessor in a number of Nazi tactics. They not only used capitalists and Jews as scapegoats, but repeatedly used the threat of a Czarist reactionary attack as a predicate for the most horrible abuses (Lenin often gets a pass from history because Stalin's victims were so many, but he was also a cold-blooded murderer who couldn't care how many people died so long as he could make his warped society). The victimization claims worked well to a large degree on their less blood-thirsty socialist companion groups like the Social Democrats and Mensheviks, who thought better to have the violent Bolshies than the defeated Czarist forces. As bad as the Czarist system was, it was better than the Soviets.
Sadly, the siren call of "I'm a victim" has grown. We can all think of ways to claim we are victims, but some do and some don't. Of course, there are real victims and even real groups that are victims. Ironically, how that is perceived has nothing to do with the narratives that get the attention.
This was my first post of the new year. Back to fascism. It's not my preferred post. But it is a calling.

Society is better off with Fentanyl Floyd having assumed room temperature. There is an ongoing episode of Nigraphilia in this country and there is a wilful blindness to the fact that those people are (mostly by choice) incompatible with Western Society in particular and civilization in general. There is not one negro dominated country that is not 3rd world. The previously white dominated African countries (the proprietary of which can be debated) were 1st world countries until taken over by the indigenous negro majority. Then, by magic, they became 3rd world countries. This is my shocked face.
ReplyDeleteFor those slow on the uptake, who are wondering how this relates to fascism, I will explain.
The current Nigraphilia has so preoccupied the populace that it a smokescreen that hides the creeping (galloping) fascism. It allows the brainless, the cowards,and the complacent to focus of the false value of "diversity" instead of seeing the mortal threat of fascism .
The fascists are incompatible with traditional American culture and,at this point, are likely only able to be removed by violence. And the fellow traveler "diversity " groups need to decide to become part of American culture (not hyphenated) where they will be welcomed (see T.Roosevelt speech on this). If they do not, they are no different than the fascists destroying American liberty and need to also be violently removed.
Diversity is not a strength; it is the portal by which fatal disease enters the body politic and destroys 2000 years of Western civilization.
You really should learn to speak your mind.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though I get your point, I somehow doubt that using "nigraphilia" will persuade most people, who would cringe at the term (which I actually never heard before). I know you a long time and that you are not a racist, but someone who hates racism, and recognizes the left as championing it while using racist terms themselves.
While I don't think it's a better world without Floyd - frankly, despite his past, for which he served his sentence, he seemed more like a big baby to me at the time of his death - I obviously agree that the left has used race to mask their fascism as justice (the anti-justice idea of social justice), to diminish western civilization, etc. All the bad stuff I write about here.
As to the likelihood of violence to rid the country of actual fascists, I still hope it is not necessary, because it will tear the country apart worse than has been (and in urban committees already). But, I've acknowledged before, when I look at the day-to-day occurrences of anti-white racism and rhetoric, the advent of a class system based on race (somehow, not considered racism by many), the violence of the left that is routinely excused, and the media control on so many people, there are times I think you might be right that it will happen someday. It is hard to predict the future and if it does ever happen, I hope no one I know is victimized. And I do not know how it will work out, as the good guys do not always win. But, we still have elections and I hope our country has the remnants of good sense to remedy our mistakes without more violence. We will see later this year.
