This is painfully similar to how hate speech against the Jewish people started.

"The Cultural Marxists are promoting deviant behaviour to weaken Western Civilization."

"The Jews are promoting deviant behaviour to weaken the Aryan Race."

Yeah these guys are saying the same things now as were being said a hundred years ago. And lately a lot of people are dropping the code words.

We know what this kind of thing led to in the past.

So yeah, it's very painfully similar.

We all have basically the same brains we did 100 years ago.

Genetic evolution stopped when civilization started and we were no longer small tribes killing each other for survival. Our brains work on that level.

Fascism is basically just a modern iteration of feudalism. Our instincts make it feel right to have traditional hierarchies based off of ancestry and we should kill the other tribes to make our tribe stronger. Of course those instincts are destructive to civilization, but because of civilization we're always going to have them.
