One of the key tenants of fasicsm is laws that protect the in group, but does not bind them, and laws that bind the out group but does not protect them.

In other words, rules for thee, but not for me.

Everyone needs to be familair with the 14 points of fascism. https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html



Tenets.

A tenant is somebody who has a lease, for example to an apartment or one of those big metal sheds for a supermarket, and by analogy, customers of something like Microsoft's "Entra ID" (what was "Azure Active Directory" at least the new name is less confusing)

A tenet is a belief or principle that you believe in absolutely, I think we'd say that this "protects but does not bind / binds but does not protect" idea isn't a tenet of Fascism but instead an observable trait.


Thank you for that, I've been looking for a decent pre-AI/Non-wikipedia summary like that. Unsurprisingly but depressingly, at least 13 out of 14 points are a perfect match.


Well, jury is still out on #14…


Gerry and Mander told me to say hi.

(Seriously, gerrymandering, redistricting weaponization, bribery/campaign contributions, and the like are all forms of election corruption.)
