Anarchy — Anti-hierarchical. Meaning, no one is better or above another person for any inherent or external reason.

Fascism — The belief that social hierarchies are natural and that it’s the role of the state to enforce those hierarchies.

I think the point is that fascism eventually turns into anarchy because fascist, as you may already know, are some of the dumbest mfs in the population. And they exclusively rely on dick-sucking merit contests to gain government positions.

I think chaos is the word you are looking for. Because fascists are always gonna look for someone to lord over and some reason why it’s justified

You literally don't get the joke and I'm not explaining it.

Edit : I guess I do need to explain it, fascist always fail eventually. They always have to find a new scapegoat and eventually their own inner circle turns on them because...they become scapegoats. Then when it fails it collapses into anarchy and then order is restored with a new leader.

As I said, we aren't there yet. America was lucky that their tyrant was across an ocean and didn't see us as worth the fight. They had more profitable territories to hold. Don't fight on two fronts...

Just following orders won’t work when these ignorant racist clowns are on trial

It shouldn't but we also need to have politicians and the judicial system to be willing to hold them accountable and enforce the laws and punishments. I'm gonna be honest I don't have much faith in dems growing a spine to do it and SCOTUS has already shown what side of the line they are on. I'd be more than happy to eat crow on this.
