After reading about the last "Eloniada" (made this word up just now) about "cisgender" being a slur I finally understood what #nazism / #fashism is:

Nazism is a delusion where (a part of) the establishment is made to believe that they are the minority and that all their problems are caused by some other group of people, which they deem as the new establishment. Bonus point if that group of people are actually very weak, small and vulnerable.

This delusion causes the the establishment to expect to solve their problems by repressing this group, and to repress it even more when their problems are not solved, leading to a feedback loop.

Example: Hitler came to power by putting forward the conspiracy theory the Jews are solely responsible for all of Germany's issues [1] and that repressing them would solve them. And so when repressions didn't do lead to any improvement (jews were less than 1% of the population[2]) all he could do in order not to expose himself as a fraud was to repress them even more.

Now I am seeing the same thing with the so called attack on "wokeism" America, in particular with the attack of the trans community - Elon and co are getting deeper and deeper in their version of the same delusion/conspiracy theory according to which, one of the smallest and most vulnerable communities is actually in charge of everything e.g. they are able to "cancel" anyone that they don't like, which is perceived as dangerous (when in reality cancelling someone is just expressing their opinion).

I had never heard of longtermism until this morning. I feel it adds another puzzle piece to climate denialism/ stalling. It also immediately makes me envision privileged cishet white men happily throwing anyone they deem less under the bus of catastrophes so their way of life (potential of humanity greatness) to continue.
