Human Nature

[The Grand Nudger]

There are plenty of other discussions about that.

Sorry for not instantly agreeing with absurd take and looking for more reasonable explanation. Also it may be that you answered before my edit appeared so I will repeat it here:

If it is human nature at fault then why there is still democracy in the world? Are Americans are naturally deficient and thus prone to vote on fascists? Fascist trash in other countries can't beat propaganda "perfection" of immigrants eating cats? Parts of Europe are settled by naturally superior people who don't buy into demagoguery and propaganda? Surely if it is human nature at fault then at least one of the above must be true.

You can't say that above aren't about human nature thus I hope that you will answer.

Well, we're younger.  It has been much longer since we had to feel the effects of policies like these at home, too.  The last people who had to experience this sad thing play out abroad are less than 1% of the population.  We're also nationalists - and exceptionalists.  So..yeah, perhaps we are more prone to vote for fascists than some other people.  That wouldn't be human nature, but american culture.  If so.  But the question remains, why do americans...and other people, choose fascism?  What is it about fascism that appeals to something with a global base of interest or persuasion?  I'd say a bunch of myths - couple with frustration or panic.  They think the fascists are competent.  Yeah, they might solve a problem "the wrong way", but by god (often literally), they'll solve them.  Plus I think people like being talked up, you know?  

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.
