Max Read, writing in his Substack post, with an important take on the unhinged Malignant Fascist and his cult's nihilist philosophy, and how the "suicide right" tag applies::
"Fascism is a literally suicidal ideology, one obsessed with purging the body politic to the point of total self-negation. What’s funny about Suicide Rightism is how direct it is about all this. You don’t need some big theoretical analysis; there’s no level of abstraction to move through. It’s just pretty straightforwardly pro-suicide. I don’t think you have to be a professional psychologist to understand why dramatic, attention-grabbing suicide might be appealing to semi-employed guys who spend 14 hours a day watching Asmongold or whatever. Its promise is that all the pain and frustration you feel can be visited on the people you believe authored it--and then ended. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this is school-shooter ideology.
And the Suicide Right case for Trump is that he gets this. The D.H.S. tweet of the penguin meme belies any positive vision of MAGA. The reward for supporting him isn’t an American renaissance, it’s universal oblivion. He and I.C.E. and the C.B.P. are the armored bulldozer giving you the chance to kill immigrants and liberal white women and male nurses before you put a gun in your mouth. His administration is the plane, just waiting for you to get inside. I guess 2024 was a Flight 93 election, after all. Turns out we got the certain death."
When you read his entire article, many pieces of the fascist right puzzle come together and are chilling. The penguin image is explained there, too. The sick and twisted MF has no problem taking us all on his flight to oblivion.
