Cushbomb here, please check out "Fascism II: The Legend of Adolf's Gold," supplement to Episode 245 "The Monster Fash."

I think Matt, in trying to compare and contrast old Nazi-style Fascism with modern MAGA-style reactionary conservatism, can't compare the two because he hasn't accounted for the internet and social media being that threat to capitalism that instigates the fascist response. If it happens it won't happen in the form of the 1930's.

When I think of what freaks out 21st century billionaires it is the left wing agitating and organizing against them via their own social media networks.

And when I think of how the 'brownshirts' would disrupt and fight that it would be through an aggressive campaign of de-platforming the left on those networks. Why fight the leftists if you can get them banned instead?

And when I think of how the authoritarian guard would then consolidate power it would be through going back to the network owners and demanding platform precedence and algorithmic privilege for their own right-wing message.

Which is exactly what the MAGA chuds are doing right now.
