Reposted by Jason Nerad"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Those emotional impulses bubble up, devoid of reason - reason would tell them stop - and that is fascism. Because it is common in the human heart, it bubbles up in every society, except - I suppose - for those that are already authoritarian (and sometimes there too). 246420
Reposted by Jason Nerad"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 24/08/2026We lived like that - brutal, slavery-and-genocide beggar-thy-neighbor competition for resources in which suspicion and violence towards outsiders was a key survival skill - for many tens of thousands of years before we even developed farming. We created culture for it. We *evolved* for it. 1961431
Reposted by Jason Nerad"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Fascism (which sucks) strikes us as aberrant *because* we are so modern. But wanting a strong leader to suppress minorities and lead your tribe in a brutal war in which you enslave or massacre your neighbors and take their resources - that was the DEFAULT mode of most polities before modernity. 976261
Reposted by Jason Nerad"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Fascism is not new, in a sense, it is old: fascism is the emergence of our old, pre-liberal, pre-enlightenment emotional gestures, bubbling through the cracks of modern society: suspicion of outsiders, the desire for uniformity, for a strong leader, for conquest of the out-group. 1782877
