Wait, Who Are The Fascists Again?
Fascist. Literal Nazi. White supremacists. These are the terms used by Them to try to slander any non-self-loathing Whites with the goal of discounting anything we might say as irredeemably tainted by our ideology. It doesn’t matter to Them or Their audience that very few people can even define those terms or place them in their historical context, all that matters is that fascists are bad and people like me are fascists and therefore we are bad and nothing we say should be even considered. It is a pretty clever trick, engaging my arguments with counter-arguments takes effort and thought but rejecting my arguments because the person making them is flawed is easy.
Again, while almost no one can explain fascism or National Socialism, everyone knows that both are Bad. Meanwhile when a news story like this one drops, no one seems to recognize it for what it is…
In his annual letter to shareholders, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon suggested that the U.S. government and climate conscious corporations may have to seize citizen’s private property to enact climate initiatives while there still time to stave off climate disasters.
Dimon declared Tuesday that “governments, businesses and non-governmental organizations” may need to invoke “eminent domain” in order to get the “adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives.”…
…He then mentioned that “governments, businesses and non-governmental organizations need to align” on policies to expedite climate solutions. Dimon added, “Massive global investment in clean energy technologies must be done and must continue to grow year-over-year.”…
…The CEO justified this potential government and corporate seizure of public property, saying that “we simply are not getting the adequate investments fast enough for grid, solar, wind and pipeline initiatives.”
Emphasis in bold is mine, I will be coming back to those quotes.
I used to work for Chase back in the day (2005-2006) and they were already nutty, I remember having to put up a poster of some faggot for gay pride month or something back before that was even a thing. Dimon had just taken charge in 2005 and always struck me as a pretty shrewd guy, ruthless as hell but he knew how to run a bank. He also knows how to play the game and that is why Chase can be hugely profitable and yet escape notice from the loons.
Needless to say, when Jamie Dimon is talking about seizing private property for “investments”, he isn’t talking about his private property. The guy is reported to be a billionaire, worth nearly $2 billion, so you know he has a few homes scattered around the world. I am confident none of them are in places needed to “save the earth”, that will be restricted to farms in Nebraska. Like most of the ultra-wealthy he is a big Democrat party donor so he is of course on board with the “climate change” agenda, although never at the expense of the profits of his bank or himself. I am also sure he doesn’t believe a word of it but he plays along to help his bank stay in a favored position.
Back to the issue of Fascism/National Socialism. One of the key economic tenets of Fascism was a type of “third position”, a compromise between the excesses of unfettered capitalism and self-destructive Marxism. Most subscribing to this position would claim to reject both capitalism and Marxism/communism. In practice this meant a sort of cooperation between government and business with the stated goal of economic activity being the well-being of workers and the people in general, rather than profit for the sake of profit.
In contrast with Marxism, fascism was decidedly nationalistic and in the case of National Socialism had an ethnic component. It is also critical to remember that fascism and especially National Socialism arose in response to Marxism threatening the national independence of European states. The battle cry of “Workers of the world unite!” envisioned a world under a single Communist dictatorship and fascism was presented as an alternative. If you can actually look at fascism as a philosophy without getting entangled in Moustache Man Bad rhetoric, it has some appeal as we have all seen the disaster of unfettered crony capitalism.
What Jamie Dimon is proposing merges the worst aspects of Marxism and fascism in one ugly package, the government seizing private property with the assistance and cooperation of “private” companies to shrink the percentage of Americans that are even a little independent from Their influence and control. Fascism in a nationalistic setting makes some sense, it seeks to direct the economy to benefit all of the people in a given nation, but when divorced from nationalism it becomes just another means to achieving a global oligarchy.
This ties into a series of posts over the past few years, most recently Endless Distractions. Jamie Dimon doesn’t give a crap about “climate change” because he is too smart to believe it. What he does care about is being royalty among the peasants. The more private property leaving the hands of the dirt people, the more the ultra-rich feel even richer. What makes being rich awesome is not the stuff so much, it is feeling better than other people. The bigger the gap, the better you feel. No one will call Jamie Dimon a fascist because he is in the cloud people protected class but what he is proposing is far worse than the ugliest, most exaggerated aspects of the “bad guys” of the 20th century.
