These posts explore the themes developed in my monograph, Narcisso-Fascism, which is itself a real-world test of the central concepts of the Biocognitive Model of Mind for psychiatry.
"so we can repel the latest version of Australia’s perennial fear, the “Yellow Peril.” Except now they’re Reds as well, which probably makes them orange."
Unfortunately, the "Orange Peril" has already been patented by Trump.
The only angle you've missed out is the Financial Imperatives for all this bloodshed and woe, Alex Kraimer has explained that the FRB model - around since the Greeks, and then the Roman Empire adopted it - FORCES such wars in time. (I'm 90% sure this is one of the vids he explains that in, unfortunately I have quite a lot bookmarked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM2b_youfAg)
In short, to find the root of all this 'international' biofascism, we need to look into the 'elite' schools, and the private banking clans.
Btw, while Russia has obviously lost considerable numbers - ~80k KIA, more than that number of Western mercenaries have died alone, and ~1.3M forcibly conscripted Ukrainians. The irony is that Russia probably COULD take Europe - it just doesn't fucking want to. As you said, who in their right mind would even WANT to dominate bloody Europe?
Orwell, with his numerous hours spent among British post-war planners, wrote into 1984 that the European continent, nominally under Russian control, was a glassed wasteland, a battlefield over which Oceania (US, UK, Oz etc) fought, and destroyed completely.
It seems Orwell isn't read as much by Continental European leaders as they should.
In fairness, left alone Europe would destroy itself anyway. The vampire rings are too powerful, that biofascism too embedded in the culture since Rome.
The cure to all this insanity is proper education, an economic system that has no or very little exploitation/rentierism, no 'standing armies' only defence militias (As in the US Constitution... strangely one of the provisions the far-right Constitutional Scholars never mention as being important today), and an actual International Law system (NOT "Rules Based Order" which as Carney explained was BULLSHIT from the beginning) with teeth that can punish trangressors.
We'd still be a far-less-than-perfect species, but we'd at least have a future - until the essential resources run out, and the planet is cooked.
I agree, nearly. As to the choice of animal excrements chosen as the metaphor of reference, whether Bull, Horse, Chicken, Ape or Bat...etc, this remains a fecal matter of individual choice. A brief reminder though, before poopooing these various forms of manure, that they have been and remain in many countries a prime source of fertilizer, when suitably dried, combustible, and even cosmetic! Whoever has taken the night train in India, probably cherishes the memory of the thousand bums, and then some, aligned along the railway tracks-The prime legacy of Empire- depositing the ritual "morning soil" in the most propitious encounter of the moon and the rising sun, while sipping his morning chai. Back then to BS: the lie, the Big Lie, the lie of the land, the dominant discourse is always the discourse of the dominant class...i.e. the class which controls the means of material production, also controls the means of intellectual production. And this is where I suspended the lecture of your opus major as you seem to conflate fascism and communism, a major lie if any and, unfortunately, a very successful bit of propaganda, so far, by the western ruling élites. Good Heavens, the nationalization of the means of production, the end of private property, the very underpinning of the sacrosanct Individual, ...a crime against ME and my Humanity! To that extent we are all coded, at birth, by our environment. Michel Clouscard, sadly not yet translated into english, it is coming, explored this in depth following the so-called 1968 revolution, which wasn't! Au contraire...Tout est permis, rien n'est possible! The left morphed into the extreme centre uniparty blob...the senile stage of imperialism...now engaged, if you believe Narco Rubio's speech in Munich, to standing ovation and thunderous applause, in the Reconquista of the golden age of colonialism. Down Under you are somewhat uncomfortably stuck between your own colonial past and the New Red Rising sun, which ain't Japan. First rank seating to place a bet. I will duly finish your book as Persia is bombed back to the stone age; so they think.
From the POV of a social Liberal, the far-Left, and the far-Right, share many authoritarian impulses.
There may well be differences, and important distinctions, but if your focus is authoritarianism, then commies and fascists can seem incredibly similar.
That is not a lie, nor a result of propaganda.
Liberal systems focus on the individual - human rights etc. Democracy. Freedom of Conscience. Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Activism.
The Left focuses on the community. The Right on hierarchy.
Both, despite protestations to the contrary before getting into power, will absolutely shit on the individual once there.
The West should be seen as Fascist with a Liberal veneer for respectability.
Not so. They both use fascist tropes, compare Stalin's parades with Hitler's, etc. They are different FORMS of government but gain and maintain power by similar means.
power is so corrupting and dangerous, but it also seems like something human beings need. Perhaps this is the dilemma of atoms arranged by exploded star dust.
Power is dangerous as it attracts the wrong people, before anybody realises how dangerous they are, they have locked themselves in position and can pick off the opposition. Humans don't NEED power, but we sure like it. We have built dominance hierarchies into practically every aspect of our social lives, home, school, work, military, politics,sport, entertainment, you name it, we order ourselves from top to bottom, then the people at top turn into gangsters, as Acton said. Look at Trump. OK, not a good example, he was a gangster before he got to WH.

There are consequences to bullying in both Danish state sector schools, and English private schools. In the Danish schools the students are punished, in the English schools the bullies are rewarded. That's how you end up with BloJo. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/aug/08/public-schoolboys-boris-johnson-sad-little-boys-richard-beard
