I could see fascists who wants to fight an internal war and don't give a poo poo about the rest of the world being a thing. Which is different from the question of whether a fascist government or society would think in the same vein - I suspect the imperialist faction would have a much easier time getting into power, as they align far more closely with existing power structures. Any isolationist fascists would go along with that or get purged, so their position isn't really super important.

Isn’t Spencer one of those fascists obsessed with poo poo like the war on masculinity, the feminization of men via SOY and the cultural imperialism of non-white European culture over Europe and North America?

There’s a lot of fascists like that who only want to commit genocide in what they think are their own countries/regions and are totally fine with other countries doing whatever they want so long they never have to touch or see anything about said countries.

Spencer is also one of those white supremacists that recognizes the Persians as Aryans so his take is influenced by more than the typical anti-war or isolationist view.

Spencer focuses his fascism mainly on culture, so he apes a lot of the nazi focus on building a superior culture by going back to an imagined mythical time when that culture existed. Only for Spencer, it's pretty much just the Jim Crow South only without Black folks. He's from old money southern aristocracy, his family literally owns a plantation, so it's not exactly surprising.

He taps into isolationist antiwar sentiment on the right because he (correctly) identifies that the only reason the US goes to war is for corporate profits, which is something that almost no other part of the right will ever say. Everything that flows from him from that point forward is monstrously wrong, obviously, but yeah, he uses that as a gateway.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah he doesn't like war because it's not a holy crusade. Once "our house is in order" he'd be all over spreading the good word by the sword

Spencer's interest in Iran goes back a way.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Jorjani

Spencer founded the The Alternative Right with a guy who is a kind of Iranian Supremacist.

Not that surprising. Ethno nationalists tend to get along. Even in just a tactical sense of showing that the other wants to live separately too.

Ethno nationalists tend to get along until they don’t. Their isolationism is genuine until the moment that they’re in power. After that anything that increases their power is fair game.

The thing is, this is the one campaign promise Trpmu has been faithful to. He promised to tear up all the current existing deals and wage a Trade War with China, and these yokels cheered and voted en masse for the guy who just told them he was going to blow up their primary export market.

there was a time when farms were small enough that owning a farm meant you worked the land, but in general that's long past in America, and I loving hate seeing 'farmers' being used to refer to wealthy business owners who make all their money off immigrant slave labor.

I don't think farm work was so much better in the past, but it's real scummy to use the image people have in their brains of family farms to prop up another class of wealthy people who make their money by owning things. Stop talking about farm owners and start talking about farm workers.

As you know, that society wouldn't have been possible without the free labour of black folks.

Fascism without imperialism is incoherent, but this is America, that's not stopping anybody from believing in it sincerely.

Of all the people I’ve seen in this thread having worse lives since electing their president, I think that fat guy is the first one to actually say that Trump backstabbed them, and that the trade war was a stupid idea? And he would STILL loving vote for Trump ‘unless they come up with a better alternative’???

Lol if these people can’t even vote for their own best interest correctly, it should be illegal for them to vote at all.

The "voting against their own best interests" thing is levied against the right wing base all the time, primarily the lower class white R voters, but its not actually true.

The problem is a gulf between what the left views as R voters "best interests" (primarily material needs, social services, infrastructure, etc) and what these people view as their own "best interest" (primarily emotional needs, specifically the need to have an established hierarchy). Not all, but most of these folks know full well the Republicans serve the donor class, often explicitly to the voter's own detriment, but the voters aren't walking away from the table with nothing at all. They are purchasing white supremacy from the donor class with tax breaks and fat defense contracts.

Trump may be loving them over the hardest of any recent Republican, but he's also delivering the most open/blatant white supremacy, so it evens out. They wouldnt take this kind of treatment from Romney.

They may be getting hosed materially, but as long as they see people of color, women, and LGBTQ people getting hosed even worse they will be happy with Trump. You can't negotiate with these people, you have to ignore them and aim for the people who just don't vote, of which there are more than plenty.

We're not?
their moral compass is centered around ensuring that everyone else is doing the right thing because that’s what they believe the Bible tells them to do; so policing everyone else’s lives and morality is their mandate. bonus points here because they think it’s saving people and the world from judgment so they’re just trying to do the right thing and are getting persecuted (when anyone disagrees or pushes back)

and on that note: they are ok with (their own) suffering because they’ve been brought up that this life is suffering and the more you suffer the greater your reward in heaven.

The Sunday NYT had a longform piece about despair and rural poverty, centering on the author's hometown of Yamhill, Oregon and following the lives of the members of the Knapp family

quote:

Of the five Knapp kids who had once been so cheery, Farlan died of liver failure from drink and drugs, Zealan burned to death in a house fire while passed out drunk, Rogena died from hepatitis linked to drug use and Nathan blew himself up cooking meth. Keylan survived partly because he spent 13 years in a state penitentiary.
Oh boy

quote:

….Even in this presidential campaign, the unraveling of working-class communities receives little attention. There is talk about the middle class, but very little about the working class; we discuss college access but not the one in seven children who don’t graduate from high school. America is like a boat that is half-capsized, but those partying above water seem oblivious.
Fair enough.

Article is: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/opinion/sunday/deaths-despair-poverty.html
