"Fascists create #ConspiracyTheories —that is, narratives—in which certain groups ( #Jews, #trans people, #Black people) are framed as “bad guys” who have committed atrocities, violence, and cruelty. They amp up horror at the violence, and cultivate empathy for the innocent victims. Once they’ve done that, #cruelty directed at the “perpetrators” becomes righteous, satisfying, exciting, cathartic—just as in action movies."
