Seems this is #12 in Umberto Eco's description of fascism and its hatred towards liberal progressivism:
Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters. This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur-Fascist hero tends to play with weapons — doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise.
Russia would be North Korea if but they have to make trade with like-minded countries and vassal states if only to prop up its economy heavily focused on crushing Ukraine.
Yeah, extremely deep-seated conservatism. For one, the patriarch Kirill is a hardcore creator of his interpretation of the Orthodox Church, where they all believe Moscow is the "Third Rome" and, like Iran, the supposed democracy and liberalism of United States and the West in general are the devil and must be destroyed.
I've lost some appetite for entertainment, as I stare in disbelief at America, seeing so much (distracting) entertainment options than at any time in history while at the same time outright white "Christian" cruelty is on the rise.
Where I live, intense poverty combined with massive amounts of entertainment, notably action movies, have warped a lot of people's minds on the concepts of morality, justice, and other values, so making it difficult to create true societal changes such as getting rid of feudal politicians from power. Instead they want instant plenty and instant justice -- those hallmarks of people on too much instant gratification.
Now we are confronting a vicious enemy with bigots, religious nuts, assorted deniers, greedy techbros and traditional oligarchs in the US and abroad, all under one tent and Supply-Side Jesus.
Besides being expensive, AutoCAD in the 80s needed a lot of floppies to install it, and hard drives at the time were very large but have small space, like about 20mb.
What a goddamn motherfucker with a bought degree from a diploma mill. The kind you want to hit with a keyboard.
Equally dumb are the owners who hired him straight off the street and have no fucking idea either what better to do with what they bought: thousands of greenbacks in computer hardware and AutoCAD.
But Trump really isn’t the problem. The problem is all the other Nazis in power, the corrupt Supreme Court, and the puppetmasters behind them all - the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society.
And Putin, Dugin, Roy Cohn, and oligarchies on both sides.
I find it both sad and funny the very bastards scared of "microchips under the skin" have voted into power this fucking regime paid by techbros wanting every piece of millions of Americans under their fiefdoms.
