5. Besides, disagreement is a sign of diversity. Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks for consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.

13. Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism, a qualitative populism, one might say. In a democracy, the citizens have individual rights, but the citizens in their entirety have a political impact only from a quantitative point of view—one follows the decisions of the majority. For Ur-Fascism, however, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a monolithic entity expressing the Common Will. Since no large quantity of human beings can have a common will, the Leader pretends to be their interpreter. Having lost their power of delegation, citizens do not act; they are only called on to play the role of the People. Thus the People is only a theatrical fiction. To have a good instance of qualitative populism we no longer need the Piazza Venezia in Rome or the Nuremberg Stadium. There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.

Because of its qualitative populism Ur-Fascism must be against “rotten” parliamentary governments. One of the first sentences uttered by Mussolini in the Italian parliament was “I could have transformed this deaf and gloomy place into a bivouac for my maniples”—“maniples” being a subdivision of the traditional Roman legion. As a matter of fact, he immediately found better housing for his maniples, but a little later he liquidated the parliament. Wherever a politician casts doubt on the legitimacy of a parliament because it no longer represents the Voice of the People, we can smell Ur-Fascism.

it's only because of Donald Trump's "get tough" attitude.

You know that meme is coming down the pike sooner or later. Trump always wants things both ways at the same time.

No one on Long Island ever leaves their homes after dark. Well, no one except the gang members, that is. They have total control of the streets throughout both counties. They roam around looking for murder victims, but they're thwarted, because everyone is inside behind locked doors.

As sunset approaches each day, you see people scurrying around the supermarkets, stocking up. They know they can't go shopping or go to a restaurant or order a pizza, so they have to make sure they have enough food to last to the next morning.

I don't blame you for not knowing this. The MSM are hushing it up. They won't report anything that would prove Trump right.

that MS-13 gang members are so hungry for murder that they've taken to killing each other, just to stay in practice. That's what some people say, honest!
