What a stupid person. There is a fascist in the White House and he’s a conservative. It’s all to do with fear. Specifically fear or freedom your own, or someone else’s.

Using the word conservative to describe someone you just called a fascist is hilarious.

You are terribly uneducated on politics.

Fascism comes out of conservative values. They are all based on fear. Conservative voters have enlarged amigdala. Fear of a complex and difficult sometimes paradoxical world leads to fear and uncertainty. That uncertainty gets displaced on to other people being the problem. Black people, women, immigrants. Whatever. The fear leads to control of those groups but that doesn’t ease the fear and eventually leads to the dehumanisation and destruction of those groups.

I know you are sophisticated so you already know all this and you aren’t confused by the Nazis using the world socialism in their party name. National socialist (noun) isn’t the same as socialism (adjective)

Reducing fascism to amygdala size is idealist pseudoscience (in the vein of nazi race science), biology does not dictate politics. Material conditions drive history. Fascism emerges when capitalist contradictions sharpen and the tendency for the rate of profit to fall creates crisis. The bourgeoisie faces two paths. Either socialist revolution or they turn imperialist violence inward to preserve accumulation. The Nazis suppressed the left to protect industrial capital. Krupp and IG Farben did not care about conservative values but cared about markets and crushing unions. Calling it National Socialism was a tactic to co-opt worker sentiment while serving monopoly capital. Fear is merely a symptom, the disease is capitalism. When accumulation stalls the mask comes off, focus on who owns the means of production not brain scans.
