For example, in The Shield, the cop character Shane is super racist and says the N-word, but when a Black girl is killed, Shane gets really mad and wants to find and kill the killer or bring him to justice. Some CEOs who are straight-up classist would still help their employees, and if their employee dies, they would start funds for their kids. But why? Why would people like this do something ‘good,’ especially when there isn’t anything in it for them?
The philosophical justification for fascism is utilitarianism which essentially boils down to the greatest good for the greatest number of people. It is as Plato said about democracy tyrant of the majority.
Nobody believes that they are bad or evil. People come across as this as their goals are just different from your own. Muslim terrorist believe they are saving the world by doing terrorism. Israeli Zionists believe they are making heaven on earth by their actions in Gaza etc etc.
So its just a matter of what particular flavour of evil u are willing to be for your desired outcomes. U have the choices of blind religious extremism (religious terrorist or Zionist or Christan crusader), hyper rationalism separated from emotion (fasicm or communism depending on ur interpretation). Hyper emotionalism which just makes u a useful idiot to whoever can present the ideology that signals the greatest virtue.
So what do u choose?
