This is utterly wrong. Fascism is not a meme. Fascism isn’t spreading throughout the Western world like a mind virus.

Fascism is the predictable result of the last 40 years of grinding neoliberalism. It is capitalism in decay.

Fascism is not a grassroots movement. It’s a false revolution, funded by the capitalist class, which leaves the capitalist class in power.

It has nothing to do with money spent. One is active hatefully divisive propaganda infesting the minds of the country on a total scale.

I call this the cooties theory of ideas. If it were true, then why are billions of dollars spend on propaganda every year? Do they just like wasting money? Were Edward Bernays and Walter Lippmann just cranks? Does Russian meme technology have a secret sauce?
