So the one thing about fascism, especially in its late stages, is that it tends to eat itself alive. When they run out of enemies, they create enemies.

late stage

You are far more optimistic than I, my friend.

I mean the government isn't necessarily late stage but if the fascists are fighting over who's the biggest fascist that means shit's up.

Maybe, but authoritarian regimes do often purge their ranks, and it doesn't always mean anything significant is going down.

While I agree fascist tend to indulge in self harm via factionalism, I don't think this is really that, nor is it late stage. We're approaching the stage where the fascist shed their traditional conservative mask and start enforcing their real ideology over the traditional conservative party.

People forget that 4 years before the Nazi started their purge on greater German society during Kristallnacht they first purged and consolidated power in their own house during the night of the long knives.

This is it.

The "true believers" in neoliberal conservative values are useful to make the rightward march to increasingly reactionary politics seem proper and reasonable to anyone who isn't paying attention.

But when shit is about to go down those same talking heads are a liability if they aren't cool with barely contained barbarism.
