There is a good difference between anticompetitive corporate practices (that may feel quasi authoritarian)
The ideology of fascism which divides people into camps of others/enemies and us/victims, portraying the 'other' as keeping "keeping us from returning to our rightful status, like in our glorious past". Fascism is usually used by a singular leader to sow fear and deep resentment that allows for social/political manipulation.
Both situations horrible of course, but in these times, it's good to be clear on their differences.
- ulucs 6y agoUhhh so we have already divided the public to groups (by skin color, gender and religion even!), we constantly talk about how Christian White males have been opressing the other groups for centuries and keep them from their rightful status, which made it really comfy for our corporate overlords because identity politics pit the plebes against each other and completely took over class warfare, which was the thing that really threatened them. One thing that differs is the degree of discrimination being much lower, which really helps longevity for these politics of division. Men can take it, because the current situation for them isn't that bad.
