@maija @eris @Sovereign_Beast what could get you to consider him to be an actual fascist? Would he have to just openly declare himself to be a fascist? Do you think people can’t become fascists from a place of ignorance?
re: kanye/ye
@maija @eris @destroy @Sovereign_Beast this is fascist apologia, open and shut. fascists have routinely described themselves as "pro-democracy"
look at carl schmitt! he described the mechanism by which the state "suspends the law to protect the law" years before nazi germany occurred! fascism springs from the centralized nature of bourgeois democracy!
re: kanye/ye
@maija @eris @destroy @Sovereign_Beast just to be extra super clear: the things that fascists advocate for prior to their existence are not "which form the economy should take" or explicitly talking about a "capitalist dictatorship" or a "war focused society"
the birth of fascism corresponds with rhetoric that calls for a rise in the level of militant nationalist political activism in the streets, usually by "removing" the internal hurdles in their own party (the moderate conservatives who are explicitly not on board with the rising group's power) and by way of pointing to members of society who are "responsible" for the failure of society: historically and today this group includes but is not limited to jews, queers, non-whites...
ye was exhibiting literally all of this. and so was everyone around him.
stop downplaying it.
