Degeneracy is the core ideology behind every genocide.
Damn, I didn’t think I’d learn something new today, but as it turns out, the Ottoman genocide of the Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks and the historical Chinese genocide of the Dzungar and the more recent genocide of the Uyghur people were because they were thought to be degenerates by the ruling National Socialist parties.
And here I was thinking ‘Nazi’ specifically referred to the Nazi Party members and modern white supremacists who support it, and not every nationalistic faction that has ever committed crimes against humanity.
You may not realise it, but you water down the word Nazi when you brandish it so casually. When you go around saying everything is Nazi ideology, people won’t listen when something actually is.
You may not realize it, but when you split hairs you draw imaginary distinctions in what amounts to a hierarchy of worship to power that results in the violent enforcement of a culture from the top.
EVERY SINGLE HIERARCHY THAT USES VIOLENCE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF IS INHERENTLY FASCISTIC AND GENOCIDAL
Fascism is a specific ideology, it has overlaps with other violent and repressive ideologies but that doesn’t make all authoritarian regimes fascists.
Why are you trying to be so reductionist? Why can’t we have different words to describe different things? There’s a reason we don’t call every dictatorship fascist, and part of it is that it’s not useful to label everything with the same word.
The authority to murder in the name of the state is the core of all fascist ideologies. I’m not being reductionist, the various authorities that arise obfuscate their similarities with propaganda.
