I live in a continent that suffered the ravages of Nazism. Its a brutal philosophy that begins with a comforting lie:

* What if; the problems in my society are not caused by people like me, but some external force?

Its extraordinarily tempting to humans, especially those who find self-reflection uncomfortable. So instead of property prices being a consequence of decades of NIMBYism and failure to build social housing for decades (uh-oh that sounds like something I might have voted for), it's reframed as an issue directly linked to immigration (ahhhh, very calming, I never wanted that!).

The problem is that its a mental health issue pretending to be a political movement. When a politician decides to discard all scruples and exploit this comforting lie in politics, they build a self-consuming state. By definition this state cannot be wrong and therefore everyone else is to blame. So when it makes mistakes, as all states do; it finds a scapegoat and once its done with the first scapegoat, it moves onto another, then another, then another, then another. We're all on this list, its just a case of order. If you try to push this then you'll get us all fucking killed you muppet.

Nazis need therapy, not politics. Alternatively go first wave and find yourselves early victims like the brown shirts. There's no loyalty in these movements.
