"Fascism doesn't return as a tick list of characteristics. Fascism is a fluid and dynamic force which operates at the level of social desires before it appears as jackboots. We need to learn to sense it in our infrastructures as well as in our political discourse."

@danmcquillan@kolektiva.social Eh, I'd argue it does. It's always about "the real US", "the real UK", an aesthetic of a true country, a true people, that is being threatened by immoral vales the more one aligns with that, the more someone forces their way to be seen as the aesthetic, to become the aesthetic, the more they earn the right to be at the top: the more they earn the right to control and dictate, the more they become the definition of righteousness itself there, repetitive patterns
