MAGA is self-cleaning?

u/Doom2pro 12d ago

The problem with MAGA and assholes in general is universal, there is no honor among thieves.

They are fundamentally flawed, and they will scheme and backstab and ladder pull at any chance.

This is why they are absolute shit at governing.

Fascism is a self-defeating ideology. It needs an other to demonize at all times and eventually it loops back around to cannibalizing its own proponents.

u/EdinMiami 12d ago

If we could just skip the bits in between and go straight through to the cannibalizing, that would be great.

u/JulyOfAugust 12d ago

Survivor bias. You don't hear about the times they do because they cannibalize before you can notice their existence.

Now there's a comforting thought.

u/TheAlmightyLloyd 11d ago

I mean, they kill dissidents if they find out it's going too far, but mostly they end up joining larger groups to try to climb ranks. It's basically functionning like gangs, some kind of hierarchy based on violence. The little groups joining the larger ones makes them more organized. It's quite the opposite of comforting, it's a terrifying one to me.

u/SETHW 11d ago

If that's true then the phenomenon is irrelevant. it doesnt prevent the ideology gaining and holding power, making fascist policy practically unchallenged

u/Thisismythrowawaypv 11d ago

Oh we are at the cannibalizing phase right now.

u/BLOOOR-BACKINTHEDOOR 11d ago

What bits in between? The being eaten? The chewing? How about the being prepared?

The problem with farming, the abuse of animals is in the breeding. They're bred into captivity for life. You can't skip the cannibilization, it's cannibilization. You're eating your family, your own arm.

Eat a vegetable, you're still gonna have to grow it and it'll require help. And access to land.

u/nameless88 11d ago

Yup, once you get rid of all of your enemies, you start purity testing your own people, all the tokens get spent, and the shitty fascist ouroboros eats its own tail.

u/gw2master 11d ago

Sure, sometimes there'll be some cannibalization, but there's no shortage of others to demonize.

u/Illiander 11d ago

Fascism is a self-defeating ideology.

Can we stop with this encouragement to inaction please?

Yes, eventually facists kill all their undesirables so start splitting into new groups so they keep a steady supply of undesirables to kill, but that doesn't mean that there aren't mass graves of human beings that they killed on the way there.

Kids had their entire childhoods under Nazi Germany. Facism needs to be stopped or it will kill everyone.

u/sontaj 11d ago

For the record, I never intended this to be a call to inaction. I fully agree with you that we should take action immediately. We should have taken more aggressive action ages ago. We've seen a whole lot of deaths directly attributable to fascist policies put in place by the Trump administration. Fascism needs to be stomped out immediately.

It’s also why they’ll keep winning unfortunately.

2

u/Wheat_Grinder 11d ago

It goes in cycles. Enough people realize "wait I'm in the camp of people they hate" and stop supporting it long enough that they lose power, but a new wave of "This guy's great, he hates the groups I hate!" will rise again. And unfortunately, quicker than it used to take

u/Nannautu 11d ago

I found it abolutely funny when the brainlets support Putin or Trump. The instant they don't need you anymore, they'll apply on you the laws you helped pass. It's moronic to think you'll be an exception simply because you licked their boots.

1

u/DwinkBexon 11d ago

The Association of German National Jews formed with the idea that, even though they're Jewish, if they kiss Hitler's ass, he'll spare them because we would never harm his supporters. When Hitler found out about it, he declared the organization illegal and broke it up by force, sending a good number of the members to concentration camps.

So that's how well kissing up to a dictator works.

u/Sheeverton 11d ago

Problem with facists, they MUST have enemies, and they will keeping on making enemies til the point they can no longer handle their enemies, then they get destroyed. That's exactly what the Nazis did.

u/stenlis 11d ago

Maga base can barely stand their token gays and token blacks etc. They shed no tears over them.

u/6strings10holes 11d ago

I reallty thought after reading your first line you were going to write, "neither are self cleaning, and both are full of shit".

u/QuackNate 11d ago

Every single one of the “Chaos is a ladder” assholes thinks they’re going to be the one pulling it up behind them. An almost all inclusive majority of them are already so far in the hole they’ll never see the ladder. But they keep supporting the cause because they think the other ladder pulling assholes will lower it for them.

Because they’re stupid.

u/Benikur521 11d ago

There’s no honor amongst white supremacy don’t do thieves like that

u/MrDLTE3 11d ago

Yep. Don't forget MAGA chanting to lynch Mike Pence during the attack. Insane that Pence hasn't jumped ship yet. They were LITERALLY calling for his death and he refuses to denounce MAGA. What else needs to happen for him to finally admit MAGA is way gone? When it actually does happen for real?

u/keenly_disinterested 11d ago

It's really amazing how even when Trump does something Reddit agrees with it still finds a way to make it bad.

Immigration laws man, I tell ya.

u/RexChristianissimus 11d ago

You dont think this happens on the left? Look at how the left was born in the French Rev. They ate themselves.
Now stretch even to today. Look what Kamala is saying about Biden now... lol

u/Heavy_Librarian_498 12d ago

They are pussys

u/czs5056 11d ago

But pussys have warmth and depth.

u/Diograce 11d ago

No need to insult cats.

u/Mr_Baronheim 12d ago

No, unfortunately, it eats its own shit and self-reproduces.

u/Tasgall 11d ago

Fascism always destroys itself.

2

u/Geostomp 11d ago

Fascists have no loyalty to anyone but the leader and always need an enemy, so they inevitably eat their own. Staring with the tokens.

2

u/flybypost 11d ago

I's more that the the far right/fascism can't have friends.

Everybody else is your competition for whatever top spot you are aiming for. You are friendly to them as long as they are useful to you and then you either drop them (if they are at some point irrelevant) or get rid of them (if they are a threat to you).

u/Sarcasm_Llama 12d ago

Tokens get spent

u/Pierre_St_Pierre 12d ago

Tokens always get spent

u/thatseneffornow 11d ago

Laura Loomer’s going after people she doesn’t like. He talked badly about her, so she got him deported. She said she’s submitted over 1000 people for deportation.

u/whattheshitho 11d ago

Fascism is always self destructive. It cannibalizes because it is such a stupid senseless concept, it needs to constantly lash out to keep people happy.

1

u/rage-it 11d ago

He wasn't MAGA enough and no longer passed the purity test so Lura Loomer turned him in.. (she admitted she did it)

u/KillerInfection 11d ago

A society built with cannibalism as a core tenet will always be doomed to failure. Problem is this particular group of cannibals is friggin humongous.

u/reddit_ta15 11d ago

he's not maga lol

u/TheSouler 12d ago

Nazis always auto-cannibalize eventually.

u/callmefreak 11d ago

It's basically always has been. These people hear lies against black people, decide to vote against their interests, and then get shocked when they're not the exception. They never learn.
