pragmatism for sure has a strong association with fascism.
?
Explain?
I don't think it's practicality itself, because practicality dictates, to summarize by a lot, communism. No, I think they're doing the same thing they do with "logic" and "reason": kill them, and taxidermy them into little rhetorical totems they can wave around to give their mad pronunciations the illusion of weight. How many times have we all seen fascists say some ridiculous, out of pocket psychosexual shit and then just say the words Logic and Reason to try and justify it? Now Practicality has joined the pantheon of flayed concepts, not the real practicality of rational empathy and cooperation but the nihilistic, insectoid zero-sum Practicality™️ of genocide.
