Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic."

But what they're really worried about is that empathy is *feminine*.

And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis.

The futurists provided fascists with a similar (tech-centered) misogyny:
"Futurism was constantly concerned and preoccupied with gender relations, […].
From 1919 onwards, German Nazism [...] went so far as to connote all political opponents and projects with female connotations and thus devalue them.
Sexually active, fighting, self-confident women were so hated by the fascist man that even cowardly murder was right for him."

Attached: 1 image Weiter aus dem Buch (siehe 🔝) "Der Futurismus war beständig besorgt und beschäftigt mit Geschlechterverhältnissen, war sozusagen im heute von ganz rechts bejammerten Genderwahn gefangen. Schließlich ging der deutsche Nazismus […] ab 1919 so weit, alle politischen Gegner und Projekte weiblich zu konnotieren und damit abzuwerten. Allein die Existenz von öffentlich sichtbaren und teils sogar kämpfenden Frauen in den Reihen der Gegner war den Freikorps-Männern Beweis für deren Verächtlichkeit." 1/7
