Back in the 90s some nazi groups invested 10k in internet propaganda, I figure the internet being so fascistic is just the results of that along with nerds being all sorts of fascistic is just a product of western academia culture to an extent as well.

This, 100%.

To add on, its also to restructure the economy to better suit whatever big bourgeois interests founded said fascist movement, if you break down the structures in place and set new legal-economic, military and political ones that suit yor investors in particular it much faster and easier than toying with those in place, a little shuffling and terror of bourgeois sentiment is no big deal, also you ensure loyalty as well to keep things going as well as your short-sighted money-vision can sense.

I’m reading The Economy and Class Structure of German Fascism by Alfred Sohn-Rethel, would recommend so far.

Speculation/privatization in critical industries/utilities.

Agencies and some academic-business thinktank circles (lots of overlap between the two) do a lot of thinking ‘games’ like this to generate a ton of ideas or find hidden connections without diamat or spending a whole lot of time studying by trying to use ‘creativity’ pretty much alone as a crutch.

A lot of money and jackbootery is spent on keeping them that way as well, its learned helplessness by design and has been for over 100 yrs. All that oppression by force and money can’t last forever though, too resource draining and people are slowly but surely noticing the problems with the current way, they just generally don’t have a framework to put those ideas and well a lot of our terminology is ultra taboo right now. All we need to do is persist, ultimately, to keep hope alive, from there everything else is possible since time and people will be on our side once the wool lifts (or if we lift it, hehe), and against the current rigid way of being.

Back during the build up to the Holocaust the Nazis would use the groomer slander on Jews and other groups they sought to genocide.
