Ur-Fascism(en.wikipedia.org) |
We in the West tend to hesitate too much vs just getting shit done. Especially in Europe. Perhaps we need a healthy dose of "moving fast and breaking things", since this is a tech industry motto i can see why so many of them turned far right. Because this is a part of far right that actually makes sense. If we only act when we are confident that our actions won't harm or upset anyone, everyone else will be making circles around us, which they do.
But fascism is different - its "cult of action for action's sake" is explicitly anti-intellectual. It doesn't bother to find out, it actively resists learning. It isn't productive because productivity implies progress - instead it's a way of soaking up excess energy, dissipating the forces of change, and ensuring that society is kept essentially static.
