Man, I keep preventing myself from saying “parts of e/acc are at least somewhat fascist”, because that’s not a very useful thing to say in discourse, and prevents Thermodynamic-God-ism (or e/acc in general) from developing into a more sophisticated & fleshed out system of thought. I think this kind of post works if it’s phrased in a way that encourages more cooperation in the future (with the risk of this running a “cooperate with defection-rock” situation), but it only works if it encourages such cooperation.
I prefer the term “fascist” to “national socialist” because nazism was a really specific thing, bound to German conceptions of race at the time. Although—”fascism” is also really associated with Italy at that specific time.
