      "Anyone criticizing the higher ups' decisions and policies is insulting the rank & file" How can one claim to be on the rank & file's side when they want the bad decisions that harm them to go on unchallenged?

      The whole reason for the cultural clash here is that the fascist mindset -- like the monarchist mindset, like the right wing in general -- believes the leadership and the rank-and-file are a single unit, one organism, the state as a human body

      And therefore they think they can and should dictate that the rank-and-file react to any insult to the leadership as though they were insulted, because they're *part of* the leadership, as much as your hand is a part of you To them this is the natural way to think

      And the populist/egalitarian POV, that all human beings no matter how lowborn they are have the right to autonomy, is arguing for your hands and feet's right to flail randomly about, is arguing for the body to die riddled with tumors and cancer It's a fundamental disagreement

      I think it's a deep disagreement on a spiritual level When I say "Okay but if your family or your community or your country mistreats you, you should just leave" it's like I'm arguing for spiritual death You don't *exist* unless you're part of something

          Yeah. I think the trade-off here is that for a nominally 'enlightened' despot, the job comes with certain responsibilities to the rest of the body politic. So it's something of a paradox as to what the hands should do when the brain has cancer.

          Which is why I think one version of understanding Trump is as the Mad King. We're all supposed to pitch in to make up the gaps, because you can't just cut out your brain.

          Anyway that's why when we say subjects should rise up against kings to them it sounds insane and absurd, like telling a hand to punch its own face because the brain has been mistreating it Like Bret Stephens' bullshit about how the king is the only piece that matters in chess

          And to them there's no contradiction to trying to get people to rise up in defense of their oppressors Any more than there would be for you to use the bones in your hand to punch the face of someone who wished your hand would get bone cancer

          Which ignores -or I should say deny- the fact that when you leave, you end up joining, building up another group.

          That's why I think the "It get betters" campaign was met with so much hostility by reactionaries when it launched 10 years ago.
