I. Uh. Was not prepared for how weird and dumb this political moment was going to become.

I knew authoritarianism and fascism were growing, but I forgot how deeply, deeply bizarre the cults of authoritarianism and fascism can be.
Like, if you look through authoritarian and fascist societies in history, they’re all so overflowing with eccentricities and cracking with psychological issues right under the surface.

Like all these things, it’s predictable. But I still didn’t expect it to get this weird.
It’s probably time to start researching the inner circles of authoritarians and familiarizing yourself with their occultism obsessions, cruel and bizarre peccadilloes, and the sheer madness of it all.

Fascist cults are seriously unwell. And we’re, uh, seeing that.
