    The grave hypocrisy of colonialism is a feature not a bug, it is what ensures the cyclicity of violence that facilitates fascism as a viable political ideology on both sides.

    Fascism wins by constructing incomprehensibly brutal hypocrisies that are so inhumane and despicable that they obliterate people’s ability to empathize or discern nuance through the repeated trauma of comprehending them.

    If fascism cannot brutalize itself as much as it brutalizes “the enemy” it inevitably fails.
