      I know you, like everyone else, dislike being treated this way, that's irrelevant The question is what the most useful and effective way to get rid of you is (a strategy we can see I am bad at implementing)

      This is another one of those funny tweets that also would not be out of place from a white supremacist twitter account

      Yes, and all the combatants in WWII were "like the Nazis" in the sense of having rifles and firing them, which is why they were all morally inferior to people who simply surrendered to the Nazis

      The Nazis were bad because they were xenophobic towards people who were peaceful towards them. They made up stories about how terrible their enemies were to justify their behavior. It's on all of us to be careful & make sure we don't fall into the same trap.

      There's this particularly annoying thing that you ratcultists keep doing, which is trying to invent facially neutral ways to describe evil behavior. But the thing is, EVIL BEHAVIOR ISN'T FACIALLY NEUTRAL.

      The Nazis were bad because they were violent and xenophobic toward PEOPLE OF OTHER ETHNICITIES and DISABLED PEOPLE and LGBT PEOPLE. They made up stories about how terrible THE JEWS and THE ROMA and DISABLED PEOPLE and TRANS PEOPLE were to justify their behavior.

      Generalizing from the particular here doesn't actually illuminate some greater truth; rather, it elides the entire history of WHY those groups, WHY those stories, WHY that particular exercise of power and violence rather than some other.

      That's the origin of the paradox that "fascism is just radicalized liberalism" That the *motive* of liberalism, the *desire* behind it was to maintain an oppressive status quo under the veneer of civil society "This is how society naturally is, when we all follow the rules"

      When that order falls apart and the rules stop working on behalf of the people they were intended to protect, the elites rapidly abandon the forms of liberalism - nonviolence, civil discourse, rule of law - specifically to maintain the function

      Fascists themselves *self-identify* as "extremists against extremism" We must "grasp the nettle", commit atrocities, to prevent fundamental social change To protect the women and children at home and maintain their cozy safe bubble

          Interestingly, as Corey Robin has noted, conservatives don't actually want to conserve things a lot of the time. They're not just defending old hierarchies- if the old elite are failing, they often look for new hierarchies and elites...

          ...see for example the Reagan Revolution against Eisenhower moderates, the Tea Party against Reaganites, and Trumpists against Tea Partiers. This is also the origin of conservatives like Shapiro accusing the left of just wanting to put whites at the bottom...
