This is a little page for talking about philosophy ! it will be extremely rambly and unfocused but if the rest of the site hasnt hinted to that already then i'd be surprised.

I have spent a good amount of my time reading about fascism and its rise in Italy, and i think there are a great number of paralells between Mussolini and a certain current world leader often in the news, so i thought i would take some time highlight some of those paralells here (and hope i dont end up grabbed in the night for thought crimes).
1. Obsession with Autarky - Both are known by their obsessions with complete national self-reliance and highlight that constantly by cutting themselves off from the international community.
2. Religion as politics - Both heavily relied upon the Christian block when coming into power, and continually try to intertwine their political policies and religion whenever they can.
3. Internal Exile - Mussolini gave the police special powers to arrest and 'internally deport' citizens to isolated towns and facilities if they were deemed troublemakers for the regime, while the current leader is not known for the 'internal' part of this I think paralells are very clearly drawn.
4. Focus on Erasing Queer People - There was a large queer community in europe pre-ww2 but (as many know) the axis powers destroyed a lot of the resources and community spaces - this is also quite clearly seen with the current leader with their repeated outbursts against specifically the trans community, but also just the queer community at large.
I have run out of time to update this little page but will be back to add more when I am able to ! (or potentially my wife will have to do it on my behalf post-humously)
