Eric Hoffer, 1951: A fanatical Nazi could become a fanatical Communist. It was never about the ideology.
The mechanisms:
— Self-dissolution in the collective
— The enemy replaces personal failure
— Certainty makes doubt impossible
— Belonging costs everything on exit
Content changes. Structure stays.
That's why fact-checks fail.
(The True Believer, 1951)

Eric Hoffer: Ein fanatischer Nazi konnte zum fanatischen Kommunisten werden. Nicht die Ideologie zieht – sondern die Struktur.
Die Mechanismen:
— Selbstauflösung im Kollektiv
— Der Feind ersetzt eigenes Versagen
— Gewissheit macht Zweifel unmöglich
— Zugehörigkeit kostet alles beim Austritt
Diese Struktur ist austauschbar. Der Inhalt wechselt, die Funktion bleibt.
Deshalb bringen Fakten-Checks so wenig.

CW: U.S. Midterms—random thoughts
As I get ready to head to the #polls this morning—reading all the stuff, watching the collapse of Twitter, learning the goings on of the ex-presidential toad—I'm reminded of #Hoffer's True Believer (for the 1,479,732nd time): The importance of maintaining a politic based in reality and finding community based on inalienable and sacred humanity. How the later should inform the former, never the other way around.
Weird, melancholic pep talk. Be safe out there today!
