Middle class fascists are always worse than working class fascists. Working class fascists often renounce their horrible views while middle class fascists work hard to redefine the world around them until their repugnant ideas are accepted and no longer grounds to exclude them.
Working class fascists take horrible action then most grow the fuck up. Middle class fascists crave acceptance for their horrible ideas and will do anything to warp the world until ideas shift. They are far worse because people treat them as they wish to be treated: with respect
Working class people know they have no right to be heard and respected. Middle class people think they have a right to be heard regardless of their odious ideas. Middle class fascists egg on fascist violence, both physical and intellectual, then declare themselves people of ideas
Watch out for the idea of populism. It is always odious middle class people pretending to find common cause with working class people but is actually middle class right wingers revving up right wing working class people to accept their role as human shields for regressive ideas
It's at cultural times like this I feel lucky to be both a pretentious progressive dickhead and also an actual working class person. Because middle class journos are terrified by idea of being 'out of touch with the people' & uniquely susceptible to middle class fascist bullshit
The two points of weakness that middle class fascists exploit in middle class journos are 'you don't understand working class people' and 'there is a growing movement'. Deploy a mixture of those for your shit right wing ideas and you'll get an over-fair, fawning hearing
There's this idea middle class people put ideas into action but working class people take actions only middle class people can understand and turn into ideas. For middle class fascists dream is to convince everyone that ideas comes only from the actions of working class people
Pushing the idea working class opinion can only be right wing rests on being able to rely upon insecure middle class journalists being susceptible to ideas that middle class fascists claim come from a 'true' working class and them being too insecure to question properly
Insecure journalists fall for middle class fascists again and again because they automatically tilt toward ignoring progressive working class people and working class action as being just another variety of middle class thought and action. It's boot boys and gammon= authentic
Assumption middle class fascists love to push is that working class people don't have ideas: they have reactions. Reaction are true and ideas are false. Middle class journos fall for this. Middle class fascists exploit it. See 'that racist has a bad case of economic insecurity'
Middle class fascists mobilise racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic ideas then use their support by right wing working class people as evidence not of support of the idea but that the idea is not an idea at all but 'common sense'. And middle class journos fall for it
Middle class fascists exploit their cultural privilege that middle class people will assume they have something worth saying to have risked their status by identifying with the reactions of working class people. 'Aww, such brave middle class fascists risking being ostracised'
Meanwhile, the work and ideas of working class people who aren't fascists get ignored by middle class journos so worried about looking 'right on' they'll go out of their way to amplify voices of unrepresentative working class people the middle class fascists direct them toward
"Hello, Fascists Direct: How can I help you?"
