I still sometimes think about the guy in my lower secondary school English class in probably 2016 reading the infobox on the Wikipedia article for Tanzania, and saying out loud, "Official languages: none de jure??", pronouncing it in a heavy singsongy Norwegian accent like "NOO-nuh duh YEW-ruh??", apparently believing "None De Jure" to be the name of some sort of obscure African language rather than just meaning "no official language"
And then I remember that this was around the same time that the teacher asked what New York was named after, and I raised my hand and answered "the Dork of York". And then my soul goes nichijou_pencil_stab.mp4 for a bit
Freud / Reich would probably argue that fascism regarding bodily functions helps to turn people into fascists as they grow up. Think of the Koch brothers being caned by their literal Nazi nanny if they didn’t shit at exactly the same time every day. The Dulles brothers also had a similar upbringing. Denying people basic bodily needs makes us crazy.
lelel… for the record, I do suspect that abusive upbringings can make somebody readier to adopt fascism, but I understand what you mean. The extents to which some thinkers abuse psychology’s explanatory power are pretty ridiculous.
