Here’s how it works.

1. Communism is when depraved freaks make it illegal to be normal, and kill all the successful people.

2. Fascism is when normie dullards make it illegal to be weird, and kill all the bright and creative people.

The depraved freaks from #1 think they are the bright and creative people from #2.

They are not.

All those people gyrating half-naked in front of children at pride parades think they are Oscar Wilde, but they aren’t.

When societies become highly permissive, the productive weirdos, the ones who simply can’t fit in because they are creative in useful ways, become surrounded by, outnumbered by, a horde of cargo-cult imitators.

These people imagine themselves to be creative free spirits, because they compete to be as freaky as possible. They do not understand that freaky behavior is not creative talent… it is only a side effect of creative talent.

Often these people are defective and useless, which is why they seek to use freakiness to camouflage themselves as creative, hoping to hide their uselessness.

This progresses until normies get disgusted with them, and start thinking fascism might be a good idea.

Then they kill everyone. This wipes out all the depraved freaks from #1, but it also wipes out Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, etc, as described in #2.

Because normie dullards can’t tell the difference, especially when their blood is up.

I understand why a lot of the right is educating itself about Wiemar Germany and re-examining fascism as a response to those conditions.

The impulse makes sense. Disgust is an entirely appropriate emotional response right now.

But they don’t understand that even if it has rational origins, fascism, like communism, is a process that spirals out of control.

Fascism isn’t just an expression of disgust. It is an ever-increasing hypersensitivity to disgust, created by a social and cultural echo chamber. Once it eliminates the original objects of disgust, it moves on to find more mildly disgusting things to target.

Eventually, any deviation from the norm, however trivial and harmless, becomes an object of disgust to be eradicated.

It begins with getting rid of Harvey Weinstein… but it progresses to getting rid of Richard Feynman and Elon Musk.

That sentence may sound strange to you. Feynman? Musk? Really?

But remember that the Gay Race Communism that now become the state religion of the political class progressed the same way. Barack Obama, the 2008 presidential candidate, was against state recognition of homosexual marriages. At the time, that was too much, too far.

Things progressed.

Slopes really are slippery. It isn’t a fallacy at all. The whole reason we characterize things as slopes is that a slope is a thing people tend to fall down. We notice things lead to other things, because the Overton window shifts, and we correctly characterize certain metaphorical terrain as a “slope”.

And just as the political class, Hollywood, and their pet idiots in NYC and LA spiraled into Gay Race Communism, the Middle American normal person backlash carries the risk of spiraling the opposite way.

Remember that fascist societies aren’t actually perfectly healthy cultures that suddenly, for no reason at all, get destroyed by their neighbors. What they do is they attack everyone they can see, once their disgust threshold becomes so low that every other type of society appears to them as nothing but a plague vector that must be wiped out.

So their neighbors are forced to destroy them in self-defense.

We, as a society, are currently in danger of both communism and fascism.

The risk of communism is that it’s what we will get if we do not purge the political class. The risk of fascism is that it’s what we will get if that purge spirals out of control.

Everyone reading this already understands that communism is the worst thing in the known universe… because anyone who doesn’t understand that has muted/blocked/unfollowed me long ago.

But we also need to understand the dangers of our own response.

If we do not use and focus our disgust, we are doomed to a communist future. But we must make that disgust our servant, not our master.
