There's a long tradition of conservatives, even the old supposedly respectable sort, flirting with fascism while distancing themselves from Nazism, it's just something that until recently they managed to shut up about in the 21st century.

After forming National Review in 1955, Buckley’s relationship to the European right was complicated: He continued to admire Franco as a hero but drew a distinction between fascism (permissible) and outright Nazism (beyond the pale).

In 1957, Buckley declared that “General Franco is an authentic national hero.” James Burnham echoed this sentiment in a 1975 obituary declaring “Francisco Franco was our century’s most successful ruler.” This was one of two celebratory obituaries the magazine devoted to Franco. The other was written by F.R. Buckley (one of Buckley’s brothers) who sang Franco’s praises as “a Spaniard out of the heroic annals of the nation, a giant. He will be truly mourned by Spain because with all his heart and might and soul, he loved his country, and in the vast context of Spanish history, did well by it.”

In his 1987 book From This Moment On, National Review editor Jeffrey Hart penned an equally effusive tribute to Benito Mussolini. “His 1922 blackshirt march on Rome brought to an end a period of political deadlock and leftist riot,” Hart asserts. “His domestic achievements were substantial. ... There was repression, the administrating of doses of castor oil, but no Gulags and Belsens or Cambodian-style slaughter. ... Mussolini was probably better read than any other national leader of his time. ... Mussolini’s leadership made even proletarians take some pride in being Italian, and his addresses, broadcast across the Atlantic, were listened to with respect in American-Italian households. ... Mussolini stood 5 feet 6 inches and had a massive, handsome head. ... Mussolini liked to interrupt his working day several times with sexual intercourse, often standing up and in his uniform, a very rapid performance.” According to Hart, Mussolini made only “a single error in judgement”: allying with Hitler in 1940.

He will be truly mourned by Spain because with all his heart and might and soul, he loved his country, and in the vast context of Spanish history, did well by it.”

Franco was a monster, but I always found it funny that when he met with Hitler, he basically spent a few hours being a smug jackass who wouldn't agree to give Hitler anything, and ol'Adolf was livid after the meeting, saying he'd "rather have three or four teeth pulled than speak with that man ever again".

For conservative writers / "thinkers", it's somewhat beneficial that fascism isn't a very coherent ideology beyond "might makes right, and gently caress you that's why", so you can kind of project all sorts of things on top of that, or try to obscure it by more traditional conservative tropes about "the deserving, good folks", "leaders of industry" or whatever else nonsense that basically says it's OK to abuse and exploit people. And usually to be a racist on top of that.

Of course one could argue that conservatism is also such a broad term that's hard to pin down what any individual conservative represents, and it doesn't exactly help that there's a lot of grifting and intentional bad faith running around making money from being awful, awful people.



These people are obviously pissed off and dangerous, but there's probably not a lot of ideology happening there, just the generic gently caress YOU, YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD. Ever since the Trump... Thing, journalists have been predicting that once there's a "competent" fascist on the R ticket, that's when the real trouble begins. In this case, competency probably means a slight step away from Trump and back towards Reagan, everyone's friend and jolly grandpaw, who was hideous monster behind a good PR campaign.

I find it hard to believe he supports it when he grabbed a rifle to "defend" a stranger's business from their protests.

I'm not going to suddenly decide he's a great guy, but even pretending not to be a total piece of poo poo and not just accepting the adulation of the worst people in the world has him on a better path than George Zimmerman for sure. If he's going to be free, that's about the best we can hope for. Hopefully it sticks.

What roles is Brie talking about here. If the protesters had shot Rittenhouse dead instead? I imagine we'd be like "well, don't cross state lines and show up at a protest with an assault rifle, I guess" and "where was this dude's parents".

I feel like the usual reaction when a leftist kills someone is 'lol that loving idiot didn't realize we're all just playing pretend on the internet, what an rear end in a top hat for making people scrutinize what I say on here more.'

I think that, “Why the gently caress did a kid with a long gun cross state lines to inject himself into the midst of civil unrest?” would still hold if Rittenhouse had been shot instead.

He just never should have been there and the right wing rhetoric around guns, rebellion, violence and BLM are what put him there in any case.
