Fascism arises due to the collapse of legitimacy in liberal institutions. That's how we got Trump. That's how we got whatever is coming next after him that is going to be even worse. Because, if you think there's not going to be more ecological and economic catastrophes in the future that liberalism is wholly unsuited to fucking deal with, and that that failure is not going to lead to fascism filling the hole, then you've got another think coming.

And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville. These are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of zombie neoliberalism we are living in, which is that we're coming at a point where there's going to be ecological catastrophe and it's going to either require mass redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the First World, or genocide. And these guys are the first ones saying, "if that's the choice, then I choose genocide."

And they are getting everybody else ready, intellectually and emotionally, for why that's going to be OK when it happens. Why "they're not really people" when we're putting all this money into walls, drones, bombs and guns to keep 'em away, so we can watch them die with clear consciences. It's going to be because we've been loaded with the ideology that these guys are now starting to express publicly.

On the opposing side of them, you have people saying in full voice, "No, we have the resources to save everybody, to give everybody a decent and worthwhile existence. And that is what we want." And that is the real difference between these two. And you can tell that to the next asshole who tells you that they're actually two sides of the same coin.
