How to accomplish despotic acts of random cruelty: the president declares it and it's instantly done.

preparing for neo-feudalism by adopting a medieval peasant mentality
Under-the-weather TikTokers are slicing raw potatoes and placing them in their — and their children’s — socks before bed. The theory is that the potato draws out toxins.
However, experts warn against relying on folk remedies over medical care.

Oedipus has a clear message: if you work hard enough, if you obtain enough power and success, if you put everyone else's needs above your own, it's totally possible to bury your past trauma and shame. It's not like they're going to come out in outbursts of anger and distrust that ruin your life.

I think we underestimate the importance of low-rent philosophical idealism for fascism, which always claims that will or vision triumph over material conditions.
Many people are saying (that America has become dominated by New Thought as the new national epistemology, and this prefigures everything from the rise of fascism to the social-economics of the AI industry)
Someone on here (was it you @vaporlight.bsky.social?) said something along the lines of "all fascism is THE SECRET" and yeah, basically!
