most fashies are religious of some sort, so i bet she'll soothe herself with the idea of her husband going to the big man above for all his contributions to this world, which is where i find most issue with religion and its hard-on for objective morality. no way in hell am i gonna go on a tangent on the issues of christian heaven in a thread about a widow groping her hubby's corpse on camera but men like kirk and their followers are the reason i am not religious nor believe in an afterlife.
It just flows with their view of the world, a dynamic world can't have a set morality, but the world of the fasc is static and unchanging, just like that of religion. I like to entertain all sorts of things for fun but I just can't personally with religion.
that applies more to classical conservatism, i think. fascism as an ideology often strives to get rid of the present social hierarchy and instate a revised version of said hierarchy, to better accommodate the needs of the elite. but i get what you're trying to say. religion is a mess i don't want to be part of.
For sure, but they tend to melt together The way I see it fascism sees the current time period as an aberration and previous eras esp the feudal era as golden static greatness rather than chaotic flux, they wish to return to the static, which never existed but they don't gaf, the whole realization I think is what separates the two, I could be wrong here but its something I'm learning about.
trying to define fascism is like trying to pin jelly to a wall, so your definition is as good as mine. the whole point of the ideology is that it adapts to the environment it's in. but at least usually fascism has some charismatic leaders and cool visuals. i'm not sure if america could've picked a more embarrassing and corny administration to run their country to the ground.
Fascism appropriates a lot of its imagery and aesthetics from other popular movements throughout time, its very vibey, think it was Dimitrov that wrote that fascism is the highest form of imperialism, that definitely fits too.
it takes imperialism and puts it on turbo. one common characteristic among past fascist states is their ultra-nationalism and the formation of unquestionable national identity. which makes sense, come to think of it; when the world falls apart, people tend to cling to the old and trustworthy rather than the new and untested. fascism just corrupts that old way of life into a system that defines itself by strict classes and the thirst for blood.
I don't know if I believe in hell but if such a place exists then I'm 1000% certain he's there getting what he deserves
