Fascism Returns, Disguised as Compassion

Woke fascism is even more dangerous because of its pretensions

“Socialism, on the other hand, is not so easy to denounce because it’s tricky, because it hides its implications, its amorality, but rather pretend to be a moral position, in fact, a compassionate position, seducing many, especially the young and the uncritical.”

“Promising to explain the entirety of history through the analysis of only the class struggle, seducing people with its combination of simplicity and comprehensiveness, when any critical thought should warn you the futility of such an enterprise.”

“Because most things have very little to do with class struggle. It’s such a narrow, often irrelevant focus that doesn’t explain anything, much less the whole of history, much like its offspring, the Critical Race theory.”

“Seducing people with their simplicity when it should be obvious to anyone with any brain cells that these are pure garbage because most things have nothing to do with race or class struggle. You might as well try to explain history with sexism.”

“Oh wait, perhaps that’s been done already, with all this talk of patriarchy and the oppression of women. These morons are so quick to grab hold of an emotional issue and set it as the basis of a Grand Theory to explain everything when they really explain nothing.”

“Well, except for that particular issue. Not even that actually, so clouded and one-sided, it only makes a caricature of itself, a cartoon, a laughingstock to everyone except those brainwashed in the cult, the cult of woke idiocracy.”

“But because of their pretense of moral aspirations, they get a pass as harmless idiots, so they can return again and again as Crusaders against class struggle, race struggle, sex struggle, LGBTQ struggle, or whatever type of oppression is in fashion to fight against.”

“And with the convenient backing of postmodernism and nihilism, they don’t even have to defend their views, they don’t even have to allow debates, because there’s no such thing as truth or justice, only power, only rage, only coercion. Sound familiar?”

“Didn’t we put fascism into a box, never to see the light of day again? What is it doing here? Who let it out of the box? Oh wait, it’s not fascism, it claims to be moral, claims to fight for the underdog, the oppressed, claims to demand justice and…”

“Wait, what justice? What morality? I thought there were no such things? If there are, then there must be truth too, in which case you better defend your stupid position, you better allow debates so we all can see your case for the truth.”

“No? Never? You will not even let anyone express an opposing view? So you are fascists! If the mild-mannered Marxists can overthrow a government and steal and murder millions of people, I shudder to think what these aggressive assholes will do with their power.”

“I’m using ‘fascism’ somewhat loosely, broader than its nationalist origin, to mean the nihilistic, amoral will to power through propaganda and even violence, really any means necessary, to maximize power, by achieving cult-like unity, destroying all opposition.”

“A type of totalitarianism, but the most potent one, because of its unity in purpose. In this sense, socialism comes close to being a type of fascism, in trying to reach unity with its propaganda of class struggle, though creating conflict and mistrust in practice.”

“Looks like we haven’t learned anything from the rise of fascism. Because here we are, with all these fascists taking over our institutions one by one, all claiming to be anything but, while their actions betray them to be otherwise, to be true fascists.”

“In a way, you’re worse than fascists because they were at least honest, they at least knew truth or justice wasn’t on their side. You, on the other hand, know that too, but won’t admit it, too cowardly to let truth expose your true nature as hypocritical, dishonest fascists.”

“Look at the woke fascists’ slogans, like ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion.’ Harmless sounding words that hide their sinister intentions and rage, a doctrine of psychopaths that will ultimately lead to the downfall of our civilization, maybe the entire human civilization.”

“These aren’t virtues, they aren’t even good, they’re as evil as evil can be, contrary to what they may seem. Of course, discrimination isn’t good, it isn’t fair that you lose jobs, housing, education, etc. just because of your race, sex, sexual orientation, etc.”

“But in the name of protecting you from such unfairness, they only multiply it. Because you’ll lose jobs if you’re the wrong race, because ‘diversity’ requires that they must hire a certain percentage (who even decides this?) of minorities regardless of their qualifications.”

“So you can be much more qualified but still lose out on a job because you were the wrong color, wrong race, wrong sex, wrong whatever. And this evil is now systemic, institutions being forced to follow this evil just to appear ‘acceptable’ to these woke fascists.”
