      Literally no. 8 on Umberto Eco’s 14 properties of fascism:

      1. Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as “at the same time too strong and too weak”. On the one hand, fascists play up the power of certain disfavored elites to encourage in their followers a sense of grievance and humiliation. On the other hand, fascist leaders point to the decadence of those elites as proof of their ultimate feebleness in the face of an overwhelming popular will.

      The social services, crime, and street-living is how they can afford all the houses, duh. I wish I could buy more houses, but I’m too rich for food stamps. 😭
