    I think this is a misunderstanding of how fascists use language.

    They don’t actually care about being correct; they care about winning the argument and furthering their agenda.

    Take JD Vance and the way he spread the lie about Haitian immigrants eating people’s pets: he knew it was fake, but he used it as an argument anyway. The goal of their reactionary project is to shape society with people like them at the top of the heirarchy. They will lie, cheat, steal, and kill because they believe in that.

    Su ultimately it doesn’t matter if they believe what they say or not; they believe in the project.
