    If we understand fascism as the violent response of capital to social upheaval and uncertainty in times of peril, as a reaction to growing anti-capitalist interests it has to be hostile to us. If it wasn’t so violently hostile against us, it wouldn’t be fascism.

    On an individual level, these people, especially the grunts doing the on the ground dirty work, have no fucking idea what we actually believe. To them we’re some otherized animal, a personified devilish threat to everything they are and hold dear and that’s why we’re deserving of this brutality. Ever seen comments on videos about abused animals online? How the people go absolutely berserk there, fantasizing about the most despicable, violent and cruel ways to kill and torture the people that abused those animals? That’s what compels the fascist. It’s just not in reaction to abused animals, but to the abuses they think we’re carrying out against their ‘way of life’, their people, their nation, their religion or whatever.

      Ah yes i’ve definitely noticed that weird violence against animal abusers. Not that i would defend them, but the violence aways seems to extreme and over the top that i figured in a world where we’re supposed to be restrained these people need an outlet to vent their rage on that is deserving of it. That’s why there’s Nazi killing fetishism, and the whole zombie craze, which was basically an expression of this need to brutalise hordes of people who are human yet inhuman.

      These people, libs and fascists, are full of anger, rage and hatred, but they suppose they are moral and superior people, so they latch onto a target which is acceptable for their rage and sadism. It just always struck me as odd that they include communists in this group, because it always seemed that most people at least had the idea that communist is “good on paper not in practice” but recently the trend is changing to view all leftists as equal to nazis.
