Ever since I started going to school, one of the core principles they made sure to instill in my mind, is that working hard and fair makes me a good person. That it is my duty to work hard for a better future, a future that cannot be reached unless I and every member of the society diligently works for our country.
I'm saying this because while it can be easy to spot and deal with fascism when it dehumanizes others or by the insignias it appropriates, it's far more difficult to pluck out the roots. How do you deal with someone who will gladly overwork themselves for the "greater good" when their intentions really are pure? The kind of person who sees shame as a reason to keep going harder, after all, they are already feeling full of shame for the misery around them that their lack of work, they assume, is causing. The kind of person who will refuse to accept admiration, because how can they, when the world around them is full of misery and their lack of work, to them, is what is responsible for it.
Speaking of someone who is aware of this and still struggle to let go of this mentality, seeing these tents is really painful to me, because despite everything I still haven't got a clue of how to help these people or how to really get rid of this mentality.
It's depressing to think about how effective this mindset has been for drumming out or subverting humanity's brilliance and creativity.
