"You cannot negotiate with authoritarians. You cannot negotiate with fascists. They don't stop ̶u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶r̶y̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶p̶l̶i̶e̶s̶."

FTFY.

Fascism requires an "other" to exist. When all the current "others" have been killed, they must invent a new one or perish.

The goalposts are ever shifting, and the in-group forever shrinking.

Its autocannibalism.

They also simultaneously pump the ingroup into the military meatgrinder apparatus. Fascism is how the elite attempt to achieve god status at the expense of all others. Its the antithesis of Western enlightenment values. The antithesis of egalitarian, humanist values that have existed at different times in different cultures worldwide. The accelerator of our extinction.

Autocannibalism. Well said.

thats why the current enemies, are trans people, anti-fa democrats. once trans becomes used up, it will be someone else, probably Jewish people eventually.

Not really, when the Nazis took control they removed all opposition. Same with the USSR and the CCP. Technically North Korea holds "elections" lmfao but there sure isn't any competition to the dictatorship/monarchy.

When the German opposition was mostly dealt with, they came for LGBT+, disabled, Jews and Roma. They never stopped until they were occupied by foreign forces.

Ah I see what you were saying, now. I thought you were alluding to some sort of political opposition party that fascists required, but you just mean they require some kind of target of hatred to pursue.
