MODERATORS
 
  • it is in existence for many decades, multiple generations
  • culture as a whole is integrated with the military via conscription, then many related employment opportunities later in life
  • military not some sort of symbolic peacetime standby thing, but a way where majority of citizens are indoctrinated and jumped in as children or very young adults.
  • israel has enjoyed almost a century of careful special treatment despite their crimes and atrocities being widely known since day dot
  • immense internal/external propaganda force
  • fake it til you make it -- the fascist method of reality. rather than discovering truth, as with science, you create it. israel being a prime example.

If thats your description of a Fascist society then actually the number 1 is the United States of Amerikkka, 1 its self explanatory, for 2 just look at the history of the USA and their veneration for settlers fighting the native people and manifest destiny they basically adopted conquest and pillage as american culture, 3 pretty much US civil religion view of their armed forces, 4 is manifest destiny again, 5 i think pretty much every society does that, 6 there was no USA 3 centuries ago its as made up as you can get

I think in USA all this is present. But also it is a much larger territory and population so not as homogenous. Israel is small and therefore these qualities are able to be more concentrated. Like a country being highly specialized in textile industry. Sure there are textiles being traded (and to at least some extent, manufactured) everywhere on earth but for various reasons there are locations where things are clumped up more. And just as you can find places where the average involvement and dependence on textiles is more than others (Bangladesh, Pakistan), I think the same is the case if you consider fascism and israel. But in both cases, the US is heavily involved in benefiting and controlling.
