Quote:Gender has always been an important throughline of fascist politics, particularly in creating a heroic narrative that men themselves can internalize and from which they can figure out how to perform masculinity. It is based distinctly on violence, but also on entitlement, what women are and what they should offer to men. By doing this it can capture resentment men feel, particularly the loneliness that comes from the lack of socialization for building relationships as well as just the reality of modern work life, and channel it back into their performance of masculine violence. If they feel alienated in their life, they are taught to blame women, thus putting pressure on the women in their life to engage in a kind of social reproduction that lets the system of alienation just continue further.
I think it's time to quit pretending Fuentes & sycophants are just these fringe lunatics exercising their free speech. I think they're more representative of the current "mainstream" right than people want to admit, but they're saying the quiet part out loud. Let the "crazies" normalize the ideas and speaking about them, and then the "mainstream" can swoop in and take advantage of that.
