🎯 5. Weaponizing Clarity
Right-wing rhetoric thrives on vagueness. “Bash the fash” is clear, direct, and hard to dodge. It forces reactionaries to either agree with fighting fascism or expose their sympathies. That’s why it’s a rhetorical win. Time to make it mainstream. 🚀

📢 4. Normie Adoption = Cultural Shift
If centrists casually say “bash the fash,” it normalizes the idea that fascism exists & must be fought. Right-wing rhetoric is often vague (“own the libs” never explains why). This phrase makes things explicit—fascism is real, and it needs resistance.

🔄 3. Shifting the Burden of Proof
Instead of progressives having to prove someone is fascist, saying “bash the fash” shifts the burden onto the other person. They must now prove they aren’t a fascist—just like the right forces the left to defend against labels like “woke” or “radical.”

⚡ 2. Self-Identification & Defense
If someone objects to “bash the fash,” the natural question is: Why? Are you defending fascists? It forces reactionaries to either distance themselves from fascism—or expose their alignment with it. A perfect rhetorical trap.

🔥 1. Inescapable Framing
If a normie or even a right-winger says "bash the fash", they’re admitting someone is a fascist and should be opposed. There’s no neutral way to engage. Either they accept it or they have to defend against being labeled fascist themselves.

“Bash the fash” is a powerful rhetorical tool. Just saying it forces an implicit acknowledgment that the target is a fascist. Like “own the libs” assumes liberalism is bad, this phrase flips the script—making it hard for opponents to refute without exposing themselves. Here's more:

Drawing on the insights of philosopher Hannah Arendt, this video reveals how hypocrisy erodes the mind, conditions people to accept injustice, and ultimately creates a world where truth is no longer something to be discovered but something to be dictated.

Because Biden and many other leading Democrats did not fully understand the threat, or didn't have the courage to do what was right.

Thank you!! I'm working on a longer video on disaster authoritarianism that I should have done soon.

They control the response, hoard resources, and decide who gets help—and who doesn’t.

Disaster authoritarianism is when leaders intentionally weaken protections, making catastrophes more likely, so they can use those same disasters to push their agenda. They sabotage systems, create chaos, and then consolidate power by blaming the most vulnerable.
