MODERATORS
I wonder what the fuck he thinks would happen in this autocratic government he wants to live in if he said something the ruling party disagreed with? "Being fired" would be the least of his concerns.
Oh, right, per the interview he thinks an autocracy will perfectly align with all of his beliefs so he'll be "protected".
"have you heard of Carl Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction"
No.
From the sounds of it, his views align perfectly with Nazi and MAGAt ideology, so he's not exactly wrong. He's be more likely to get a promotion than persecuted for his views.
The thing is he should probably read a history book because the Nazis killed an awful lot of their own too, mostly due to internal politicking that had very little to do with ideology and everything to do with them wanting someone out of the way, (sometimes for personal reasons) and it becoming the culture to do that sort of thing.
Think Soviet Union in the height of Communism. Hell, just think Russia now.
