The second someone uses the word “woke” unironically, I know exactly who they are. These are the people who call others snowflakes for being offended by bigotry. Yet they are the ones throwing tantrums over the tiniest things that offend their beliefs.
Politics
The main reason you should cut someone out of your life.
The Problem of Social Media
Social media is becoming something of a controversial thing of late. From Cambridge Analytica manipulating algorithms, to the self-destruction of Twitter, and the removal of anything DEI after Trump’s inauguration. Lately I’ve been trying to move on to new things, but where can we go from here?
Is Elon Musk Actually a Nazi?
During the Trump inauguration Elon Musk caused controversy when he threw his heart out to the crowd. He made a gesture that many think may have been a Nazi salute. So the question we are forced to ask is this: is Elon Musk really a Nazi?
Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
