    You know that interview with Kanye and Alex Jones where Yedolf starts saying a bunch of Nazi shit and Alex tries to coach him on how to dogwhistle it, but Mr Western Cultural Supremacy just starts saying it louder?

    It’s like that. Everyone with a clue beforehand knew what was up, but now even the people with no clue at all can’t honestly deny it, not even the most generously slack-jawed “centrist.”

    Of course, they still will, because they’re not honest, and that’s what some people just can’t wrap their heads around:

    Conservatives aren’t honest, and do not operate on principles of good faith. There are still those who will deny his Nazi rhetoric is Nazi rhetoric, but they’re just lying.

      Enforcing the status of America as a hegemon has required the export of fascism since the 50s. The way it’s commodified is very similar to how “anti-capitalism” is commodified, it’s not the thing that causes fascism it’s like a cultural manifestation of this.
