Heirachies, fascism and inequality

One of the reasons for visiting "my muse"'s family was to have a look at a situation with the car. At root it is identical to what I saw at Biointeractions. There is a central fascist in charge surrounded by much more decent individuals who are trapped. The fascist instructs them to do fascist things and the cost of being decent is to lose their status. What is interesting it seems is that either fascists elect other fascists to take their place, or decent people become fascists when they are put in the kind of roles that are held by fascists.

Well I suspect it might both because only people with fascist tendancies would ever allow their decency to be compromised by status. And, so when they get to the top position they behave like fascists. It's an interesting transition to watch. So I referred to the head lab manager as decent compared with the company manager, but would he just become a fascist control freak if he took the top position? And I myself would never be in such a position because I can't stand bullshit and fascism and bullshit seem to go hand in hand.

So anyway "my muse"'s sister faces an identical tirade of fascist bullshit from the Volkswagen dealer and his hench men seem quite decent.

Its not a good analysis this, but the pattern is now clear in my mind. Little groups like this composing fascist top-dogs and sycophants supporting them, and these groups are stacked together. I remember the fascist manager of a supermarket that i worked at and how she would roll on her back and flutter her eye lashes when the regional manager came in store. Entirely fake behaviour - you should see have seen the sour faced creature normally - but she would take orders from him like a child being handed sweets. Then he was gone and the nazi regalia were out again.

So maybe the Nazis were not so extraordinary afterall. Their only mistake maybe was to wage war on the victors and get caught up with unspeakable acts of ethnic cleansing (the extent of which has certainly been exagerated and biased toward the Jews). But they weren't the first and they haven't been the last so there is something faulty in humans - which means me and you. And from what I realising the structures that cause inequalities and disregard for fellow human beings are all about us, we are totally submerged in a society that tolerates and totally supports inequality.

It is normally shown from the attractive side that people hold status because they are good at what they do and they have "earned" the right. But this is transparent when you look again and there is never a reason to view two people as unequal. Yes a doctor knows more than a toilet attendant about disease but that doesn't make them unequal, and their salary differences are usually excused by economics. But actually being a doctor means joining a cartel which keeps wages high and we accept all this because secretly we think that doctors are better than toilet attendants. We are in a nazi camp and we are forced to shoot either a doctor or a toilet attendant we know who we would shoot... but do we know why? But given a toilet with an attendant and one without, I wonder which the doctor would visit?

"The Jewish Fallacy" OR "The Inauthenticity of the West"

I initially thought to start up a discussion to formalise what I was going to name the "Jewish Fallacy" and I'm sure there is ...
