In sum, trumpism is a fascist movement. Leftist resistance is not.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
14. Ur-Fascism speaks newspeak. Trump has his own upside-down definition of: birthright citizenship, DEI, efficiency, emergency, hoax, lawfare, political prosecutions, the Gulf of Mexico, etc. The left defers to expertise on these matters.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
The right also opposes the legislature as the seat of power and substitutes the executive, exactly as Trump has done, humiliating Congress. The left endlessly votes and supports democracy, and works to make democracy more representative of the people instead of oligarchs and money.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
13. The people do not have democratic control, but rather a “common will” that may only be interpreted by the ruler. On the right, the “silent majority” is the fantasy here. Trump needed to call his tiny margin of votes a “historic mandate” to interpret the will of the people.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
The left doesn’t have this. The lack of machismo, shown by the right’s elevation of purple haired women as avatars of the left, is a partial truth of the left and also says more about the right. The left is a mass movement, not a male movement.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
12. Since permanent war is hard, and heroism is hard, the power is transferred to sexual machismo, and since sex is hard, transferred to playing with swords and guns in shows of machismo. Trump’s birthday parade. Trump’s discussions of his sexual prowess. He does this constantly.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
It similar does not apply to the left, which currently as a mass movement isn’t willing to die a hero’s death to prevent fascism. The best thing you can do is fight and stay alive to fight another day.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
11. Everyone is educated to become a hero. The best thing you can do is die a hero’s death. Trump believes he is a hero because he is a narcissist. But, I think society is so devoid of honor that this hero bit no longer applies except at the fringes, where mass shooters believe this applies to them
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
The left has contempt for rightist fuckwads because of the way they try to treat humans. The left typically punches up and seeks a flat hierarchy. The right punches down and seeks a regimented hierarchy with themselves at the top.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
10. Popular elitism. Contempt for the weak. Hierarchical society consists of superiors who disdain their underlings and underlings who want to be superiors. Pete Hegseth embodies this one perfectly. His contempt drips from him. Stephen Miller also. If you read JD Vance’s book, he hates his people.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
on this like it is a formula. Their final solution is no brown people in the nation and deport them. This is what Trump is doing with ICE. There is no similar impulse on the mainstream left. Life is a series of mistakes that we try to be less wrong about, there will always be progress. Progressive!
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
9. Life is permanent warfare, after which all will be good with the world - a “final solution”. No fascist leader has solved this predicament. The national conservative movement believes that the U.S. will be perfect when immigrants are less than 15% of the population. They literally put a number
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
The left is actually similar, here. Trump is a dumbass but also has so much power. The fact he is even in office is a humiliation. The difference is that nobody in left leadership is excoriating the left for allowing the humiliation, while Trump is doing that to the right.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
8. The fascists must feel humiliated by their enemies. The enemies are both too strong and too weak. This is the politics of grievance turned up to 11. The right has it in spades. The left wants to kill all your babies but also can’t govern.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
The left feels like a movement yearning for the opportunity to create better times. There is disdain for the right, but not obsession. Fuck those guys putting up a wall, we need healthcare. Leftists also attack each other for mistakes, instead of externalizing and scapegoating it to the right.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
7. Obsession with a plot against themselves. The right believes that the left is all communists who want to do all the things to them that they do to the left. In their mind it results in a perfect sniper’s alley where any shot should be taken at any time. They are obsessed with grievance.
Bütt Kraken (@paranew.bsky.social) reply parent
In contrast, the left wants universal healthcare. Not to exclude meth heads or MAGA dipshits. Universal. House the poor, feed the hungry. The left is intolerant of fascists, but believe that if even MAGA voters get services, they won’t want to have them taken away.
