Fascism comes out of conservative values. They are all based on fear. Conservative voters have enlarged amigdala. Fear of a complex and difficult sometimes paradoxical world leads to fear and uncertainty. That uncertainty gets displaced on to other people being the problem. Black people, women, immigrants. Whatever. The fear leads to control of those groups but that doesn’t ease the fear and eventually leads to the dehumanisation and destruction of those groups.
I know you are sophisticated so you already know all this and you aren’t confused by the Nazis using the world socialism in their party name. National socialist (noun) isn’t the same as socialism (adjective)
You are mostly correct. Except the bit about fear being a symptom. Fear is the driver. The amygdala bit is an interesting fact. Those with bigger fear centres tend to vote for the no change party.
