  • It matters a lot, actually; when you recognise Trumpian fascism as the product of domestic, structural, problems, you can make the kind of policy changes that reverse the slide into fascism. But when you blame all the countries problems on the sinister machinations of perfidious foreigners, you’re just going to end up rushing even faster into jingoism, militarism, and McCarthyism, which will ultimately only accelerate the slide into fascism.


  • Europe is fucked for the same reason America is: because they’ve completely bought into their own propaganda about being the “exceptional free world” and thus have become incapable of even acknowledging the existence of domestic structural issues, instead scapegoating all of their problems onto the corrupting influence of the foreign Other, which is an ideological path guaranteed to lead to fascism.
