Changes to Mittelafrika bush war victory- instead of making demands on their own and having them be carried out automatically, now Mittelafrika will ask Germany to make demands, which the portuguese will receive.Player led Mittelafrika can still make demands of their own, though this will cost them stability.

Continuing our pattern of smaller, more focused updates we are delighted to bring you the Romanian rework! Of course we haven’t been idle in other places; many other nations, notably Serbia, have received changes as well. In addition, we are very pleased to give you one of our greatest performance improvements to date as a result of our new division limit and our totally rewritten annexation decisions; details for both can be found below. We hope you enjoy this update! - The KR4 team Changes New Systems Division Limit: A new mechanic has been added to all nations; the division limit. It represents the total number of divisions that a country can safely support. The AI will simply not build past this limit. Players can build past this limit, but they will be notified when they’re over it (via a flashing alert on their Recruit & Deploy tab) and will receive a malus that increases the more they go over that limit.
Why do this? One of the biggest complaints about Kaiserreich is lag, particularly late game lag which can make playing into the 1940’s almost unbearable. Having a cap on the total number of units (particularly the number of units that smaller countries can field) is the biggest way we can help with this. We also apply it to the player for balance reasons: if the AI has division limits but a player doesn’t, the difference in difficulty (particularly for major nations) is profound.
What if I don’t like this anyhow? We’ve added a custom game rule option if you want to shut it off, either for the player only (meaning the player experiences no malus if they go over the limit, and is not informed when they’re over it, but the AI will still obey the limit) or entirely.
How is the limit calculated? At its base, the limit is the number of factories (after trade) multiplied by a factor established by your current Economy Law - with an upper cap also established by the Economy Law. Some countries with very high manpower but few factories (like China or India) or who own lots of states (like Russia) will have a lower-end cap on their limit that is higher than that provided by factories, but if they build enough factories they too can raise it higher. The limit never goes below 5 units, and some countries receive special bonuses (usually temporary) which add to that final total. If you hover over the limit field at the top right of your Recruit & Deploy tab, you’ll see a tooltip that explains exactly how the limit is calculated.
I like the limit, but I feel it’s unfair to country X! Kaiserreich has a lot of content, and while we’ve done testing it’s more than possible there are special situations we haven’t yet noticed, or old content (like units being spawned) which never took into account the possibility of a division limit and which haven’t yet been adjusted. If you come across such, please report it to us on our GitHub issue tracker and we’ll fix it as quickly as we can.
A bit of adjustment is required for this system, we know, but it really does affect game speeds as the game goes on, and we hope you’ll bear with us in the interim as the kinks are worked out.
Other Notable Additions
Annexation missions (the decisions you see which pop up after you gain territory, which allow for the release of puppets) have been reworked so they are now triggered. What does that mean? It means that there are no longer hundreds of decisions being evaluated every game day to see if those missions are valid (for many users, resulting in a slight pause at the end of each game day as the game evaluates all those triggers). Instead, the conditions are checked after any annexation or after territory is gained, and at no other time. This doesn’t totally rid of that daily pause, but it does lessen it significantly, though your mileage will vary as with all performance changes
Austria now joins the Reichspakt when they intervene in the 2WK, and leave it afterward
Japan can now only call its allies into its wars if it’s losing or at war with a major

Faction Diplomacy Buttons: several patches ago, the faction-related buttons on the diplomacy interface were removed, since all faction creation/joining is done via decisions and events in Kaiserreich. Some players, however, use the console to allow use of those buttons for their own purposes, so we’ve added a rule which allows the restoration of the buttons if the user so wishes. Restoring the buttons does not give them any more functionality than they had previously.

[Diplomacy] London to Brussels: European Union - United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic, Trade and Exceptional Relationship Agreement
15/01/20
Overview
Following the approval of the final extension to the UK leaving the EU’s mechanisms in the transition period, to 31st December 2021, the United Kingdom has returned to Brussels with a fresh-faced negotiating team, headed by Philip Hammond, who reluctantly returned to serve the FCDO following a personal letter from Johnson, and a call from Ken Clarke and Dominic Grieve urging him to take the offer. Determined to secure a wide-ranging trade agreement with the EU, a small U-turn has occurred with Johnson’s policy, as he seeks to double down on subtly drawing closer to the EU economically than his previous rhetoric suggested - spurred by his belief in lessening the economic shock, and enabling him to label Brexit a ‘success’. The UK enters these negotiations with the following objectives:
To secure a Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the European Union, with all tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade dropped, and coming to a satisfactory compromise on regulation to enable a ‘level playing field’ to be created.
For a satisfactory deal to be made regarding Fishing, with the UK delegation believing the principle of compromise being at the heart of resolving this issue.
For the Good Friday Agreement to be respected and the arrangement regarding Northern Ireland in the Withdrawal Agreement, specifically concerning its departure from the EU customs union but continued adherence to some single market principles, to be abided by and carried out.
Ensure UK commitments to several European organisations remain strong, to foster a closer bond with the EU in a post-brexit world.
Negotiate on several miscellaneous matters, such as Financial Services passporting.
To the European Commission, European Council and EU27
Pandemics, Domestic Chaos, and U-turns; all have plagued Brexit negotiations, particularly concerning an FTA. It is time that, once and for all, the United Kingdom and European Union settle this, and reach a comprehensive agreement on free trade, a deep economic partnership, and an “exceptional relationship”. The United Kingdom firmly believes that in a post-brexit world, it must preserve close economic, diplomatic and military links with the European Union, for both economic, national security and geopolitical purposes. It is for this reason that we, from the outset of negotiations, wish to establish that this deal be called the “European Union - United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic, Trade and Exceptional Relationship Agreement”, or CETERA, to reflect the core aims of the United Kingdom. The British delegation proposes the following points of negotiation, built on compromised previous positions from the UK and EU. We hope these propositions will be agreeable to the EU:
Free Trade Agreement: Our delegation, in this regard, is in favour of a ‘Canada-Style Plus FTA’ arrangement between the United Kingdom and European Union. Under this, tariffs and other barriers to trade would be eliminated as much as possible, meaning that trade could be kept at its record levels between the United Kingdom and European Union. It is in both our interests for the United Kingdom to remain a prominent market to the European Union, and for the European Union to be a considerable market for the United Kingdom through unlimited and seamless access to the EU single market. Businesses in both the UK and EU should be able to enjoy clear, unrestricted access to each other’s markets. In particular, the UK sees preserving the current volume of trade between Dover and Calais, which is a lifeline for both the French and British economy. We propose the following in regards to tariffs, regulations and movement of goods, capital and services:
The UK has absolutely no interest or want to use tariffs as a weapon in either trade or diplomacy, especially with the EU. Our economies would suffer for no discernible gain, and thus the UK seeks to oppose the concept of using tariffs in any way post-Brexit between the EU and UK. Trade must be seamless if we are to both prosper after this great geopolitical ‘break-up’. There is one particular exception to this rule that the UK wishes to include and apply tariffs on; namely, Coal. As the UK and Europe strive toward green and carbon neutral economies, it is important that old, dirty methods of energy are left behind, and by placing a mutually harsh tariff on coal, we can ensure that neither side’s corporations elect to produce cheap coal to sell between the UK and EU. The UK will also go on to form its own distinct Local Content Requirements, much like the EU currently enforces, to rejuvenate its domestic automobile industry. We hope that the European Union agrees to the need to, in the Free Trade portion of CETERA, remove nearly all tariffs and other trade barriers to ensure maximum economic prosperity, along with a green future.
Concerning EU Regulations, we believe that whilst the concept of a ‘level playing field’ proposed by the EU is an agreeable principle, it needs to be fleshed out, and thus the UK offers a compromise - It will continue to adhere to (and pay into) certain EU regulations, from regulatory bodies concerning organic agriculture to certification of porcine semen, to regulations concerning data roaming, rights of air passengers, clean beaches, etc etc - the list goes on. We are willing to sign onto certain EU regulations. However, in return the EU would be asked to soften its requests on the UK to sign up to common regulations on labour, the environment and state aid, thereby respecting the UK principle of post-Brexit sovereignty. To sweeten this regulatory compromise, the UK is willing to agree to a dispute settlement mechanism between itself and the EU, allowing the European Union to feel assured that if the UK broke the principles of fair competition (and vice versa), thorough and quick legal action could be sought.
The UK would like as smooth a movement of goods, capital and services as possible between Britain and the EU. We see a need for an agreement to mutually ban the imposition of customs duties on each other’s goods, capital and services to ensure this occurs, and our economies can continue to mutually flourish. We would also like to see a continuation of mutual respect for the principle of non-discrimination when concerning the movement of goods, capital and services.
Fishing: Concerning fishing policy, we propose a compromise between British desires for a Norwegian-style yearly arrangement and a permanent solution favoured by Europe: a bi-annual fishing deal on quotas and relevant management issues, with a pre-agreed standard that the EU shall enjoy limited access to UK waters, to fish around 10% of quotas as a hard limit. If European trawlers violate this standard, and exceed it, then they are liable to be removed from the EEZ by Royal Navy patrols. These bi-annual negotiations would concern how best to preserve fish stocks from overfishing for example. We hope the first deal is to be negotiated and formalised by the end of 2021. In exchange for this compromise, where EU fishermen still have (albeit more limited access) to UK waters, the British government would like to see unlimited British seafood imports and exports in the EU, as per the French proposal in early 2020.
Northern Ireland: We accept, and support the current arrangement agreed in the Withdrawal Agreement regarding that Northern Ireland; that it remains party to certain European single market regulations, such as European VAT, and an inconsequential regulatory border is mandated in the Irish sea, to be managed domestically by British customs. The Irish border will not be a hard border, thus abiding by the Good Friday Agreement, and both EU and UK negotiating positions. We hope that the EU does not seek to change this, as it would both violate the GFA and the Withdrawal Agreement’s integrity.
EU Organisations: The United Kingdom believes in an ‘exceptional relationship’ with Europe, wherein close alignment and friendship is sought with the EU on many matters, from diplomatic, to economic, to tackling key shared social issues. To facilitate this exceptional relationship, we propose that the United Kingdom remains and member and re-affirms its existing commitments (such as payments) to existing European intergovernmental organisations and international conventions, listed below:
Erasmus University Exchange Programme
European Energy Community
Europass & European Qualifications Framework
European Convention on Human Rights
European Space Agency
European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control; according to the Royal College of Physicians, no single country could fulfil the role of the as their early warning and information sharing system offer medics and hospitals realtime updates on non-pandemic illnesses such as waterborne diseases, and HIV. We would like to please continue to participate in this item, and continue to pay for it.
European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom)
GALILEO Satellite Programme
European Arrest Warrant
Single European Sky
EUROCONTROL
COST Association (European Cooperation in Science and Technology)
Horizon 2020, we view that continued UK membership in this project will be incredibly beneficial for both parties, as such we would like the EU’s agreement for us to keep paying into and contributing to this project.

EUROfusion
EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory)
ESO (European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere)
ESRF (Europea Synchrotron Radiation Facility)
European XFEL (European XFEL Free-Electron Laser Facility)

EUREKA
EU–US Open Skies Agreement
Security and Counter Terror Agreements
Financial Services Passporting: We request an agreement with the EU that allows businesses - especially financial - to register with the EU as an EU compatible businesses, which would ensure they can continue to operate and export their goods and especially services to the EU. Under this system, they would remain subject to EU spot checks and legislation. In return, the UK will allow EU regulators preferential access to the UK in order to investigate these passporting companies, to ensure their compliance with the rules.
Gibraltar, Akrotiri and Dhekelia: We wish for there to be full freedom of movement and for these territories to remain in certain mechanisms of the European Single Market, such as the arrangement with Northern Ireland. This is something that Spain and Cyprus have indicated in the past that it would be fully in favour of accepting.
EU Citizens; Tourism, Work, Study and Healthcare: The following proposals below outline our personal policy toward EU Citizens seeking to travel to the UK for purposes of tourism, work and study, and the healthcare they may enjoy. We hope for reciprocal treatment from the EU if these proposals are accepted:
The rights of EU citizens are important to the UK. Whilst they have already been secured under the Withdrawal Agreement and Right to Remain programme, the UK pledges to continue to give EU holidaymakers preferential and quick admission to the UK. The United Kingdom will work on a system of eVisas for EU citizens, granting of a free 9 month visa online prior travel, or alternatively the granting of a 9 month visa upon arrival for EU citizens. After this 6 month period has passed, they will have to apply for longer stays with the relevant high commission/embassy of their country. We hope our citizens receive similar, or identical, treatment from the EU.
We also believe that the rights of EU workers and students to access UK Universities and Businesses are vital. Here, we seek to replicate a miniature ‘freedom of movement’, to reflect our close ties to the European Union. Thus, we will create a new category of visas in the UK for EU citizens exclusively;
EU General Work Visas will have the bureaucracy for sponsorships cut down if the worker attempting to gain a visa currently earns over €35,000, and the process will be fast streamed through the Home Office. Fees will also be cut down for EU citizens, by around 50% (if they earn over the specified amount). EU Citizens who apply with current earnings of over €80,000 annually will not require sponsorships to gain entry, instead they will specify their future employer in the UK, and the Home Office will perform background checks.
EU Healthcare Work Visas will have much the same costs and streamlined process as General Work visas for those earning over €80,000; if a doctor, nurse or other medical professional is seeking to emigrate to the UK and get this visa, they only need proof of employment from either the NHS or a private healthcare firm, along with a background check, and to pay a small fee of $100 for administrative costs.
EU Student Visas will be a special visa for citizens of the EEA and EU. Here, all that will be required is an offer from a British University, proof of enough personal finance to support themselves during study (such as a University Accommodation contract or parent’s earning slips), and the ability to speak, read and write English at a “sufficient” or above level. These visas will carry a small €25 fee.
Regarding Healthcare for EU Citizens, the UK will change policy, brining their rights in line with other visa travellers, meaning healthcare comes with a fee. However, to symbolise the exceptional relationship between us, we will lower the fees for healthcare exclusively for EU citizens. Of course, those with Right to Remain will be entitled to continue to enjoy the NHS free of charge. The UK seeks to make certain of the fact that health and travel insurance can continue to be fully comprehensively compatible between the EU and UK, and thus we will immediately take action, granting EU insurance companies the explicit right to manage their service with the Department for Health and NHS. We hope for reciprocal treatment in all these matters, especially regarding the lowered fees.
Policing, Security & Counter-Terrorism Cooperation: We find that Europe is an essential organisation for the shared security of both the United Kingdom and the EU. Whilst Europol is a constituent of the European Union, Europol does co-operate on an operational basis with many countries, such as Albania, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Moldova, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and the United States of America and, importantly, Interpol. It also has “strategic treaty agreements” with countries such as China, Russia, and Turkey. The UK requests to continue close cooperation with Europol, gaining the Operational Basis and Strategic Agreement status. In exchange, we are prepared to continue paying the same share as we presently do, in order to preserve continuity in these urgent security matters. We hope this matter can also be translated when considering the European Arrest Warrant.
Football: We wish to come to an agreement with the EU on the status of professional footballers, which the UK and EU has a long shared history of cooperation and exchange in. At present, if a British footballer is allowed to work in the EU, they are allowed to live and work in any EU country. We would wish to see continuity in this respect, and pay into its continued enforcement, and receive assurances that footballers from Britain may also continue to do so. Naturally, this would also apply for EU footballers in the UK.

The Truth About Climate Change. The Rabbit Hole Goes Much Deeper than Fake IPCC Conclusions.....
Source “The data doesn't matter. We're not basing our recommendations on the data. We're basing them on the climate models.”
Prof. Chris Folland, Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research
“The models are convenient fictions that provide something very useful.”
Dr David Frame, Climate modeler, Oxford University
"It doesn't matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true."
Paul Watson, Co-founder of Greenpeace
"Unless we announce disasters no one will listen."
Sir John Houghton, First chairman of IPCC
"No matter if the science of global warming is all phony... climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world."
Christine Stewart, former Canadian Minister of the Environment
Now on to the Club of Rome. "The common enemy of humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself."
Alexander King Co-Founder of the Club of Rome, (premier environmental think-tank and consultants to the United Nations) from his 1991 book The First Global Revolution
"We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination... So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."
Prof. Stephen Schneider, Stanford Professor of Biology and Global Change. Professor Schneider was among the earliest and most vocal proponents of man-made global warming and a lead author of many IPCC reports. He is a member of the Club of Rome.
"We've got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."
Timothy Wirth, President of the UN Foundation and member of the Club of Rome.
"Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?” "[The Earth Summit will play an important role in] reforming and strengthening the United Nations as the centerpiece of the emerging system of democratic global governance." "The concept of national sovereignty has been an immutable, indeed sacred, principle of international relations. It is a principle which will yield only slowly and reluctantly to the new imperatives of global environmental cooperation. It is simply not feasible for sovereignty to be exercised unilaterally by individual nation states, however powerful. The global community must be assured of environmental security."
Maurice Strong, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Al Gore's mentor and executive member of the Club of Rome.
"I believe it is appropriate to have an 'over-representation' of the facts on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience."
Al Gore, member of the Club of Rome and set to become the world's first carbon billionaire. He is also the largest shareholder of Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), which looks set to become the world's central carbon trading body.
Maurice Strong sits on the board of directors for CCX. Back before he became U.S. President Obama served on the board of directors for the Joyce Foundation when it gave CCX nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.” Essentially Obama helped fund the profiteers of the carbon taxation program that he then steered steered through Congress. "The threat of environmental crisis will be the 'international disaster key' that will unlock the New World Order." Mikhail Gorbachev, Former President of the Soviet Union, member of the Club of Rome "We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
David Rockefeller, Club of Rome executive member, former Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank, founder of the Trilateral Commission, executive member of the World Economic Forum and donated the land on which the United Nations stands. Speaking at a U.N. Business Conference, Sept. 14, 1994
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."
David Rockefeller, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
"Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure 'one world', if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."
"… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but less than one billion.”
Club of Rome, Goals for Mankind, 1976.
"A cancer is an uncontrolled multiplication of cells; the population explosion is an uncontrolled multiplication of people…. We must shift our efforts from the treatment of the symptoms to the cutting out of the cancer. The operation will demand many apparently brutal and heartless decisions."
Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb. Paul Ehrlich is a member of the Club of Rome.
"I believe that human overpopulation is the fundamental problem on Earth Today” “We humans have become a disease, the Humanpox.”
Dave Foreman, Co-founder of Earth First! and member of the Club of Rome.
“World population needs to be decreased by 50%”
Henry Kissinger, , Former National Security Advisor, Former Secretary of State, chairman of Kissinger Associates, member of the Club of Rome.
“We must speak more clearly about sexuality, contraception, about abortion, about values that control population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage.”
Mikhail Gorbachev, Former President of the Soviet Union, member of the Club of Rome
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”
Ted Turner, founder of CNN and major UN donor, member of the Club of Rome.
In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it.
Jacques Cousteau, French naval officer and explorer. Member of the Club of Rome.
"If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels."

HealthyWage
HealthyWage is an interesting website...got a few extra pounds from the quarantine you're trying to burn off? I personally want to lose 30 pounds, but needed a little extra motivation. Well, nothing motivates quite like money! The way this website works is, you essentially place a "bet" (at least $100) that you can lose at least a certain amount of weight (at least 10% of your total body weight) within a given time frame (at least 6 months), and if you are successful, you will get rewarded with your initial investment + a bonus (they offered me around a 10% bonus). You can pay out the whole bet at once, or split over the time frame of the bet. If you're wondering how they stay afloat, this company finances itself via the folks who failed to meet the terms of their own bet. You have to record yourself stepping on the scale via their highly-rated app (iOS/Android), so no cheating. For folks like me who have strong will power but just need extra motivation, I highly recommend this site! I made a...questionably large bet personally ($3000 if I can't lose my extra pounds), but talk about a powerful motivator... If you use my referral link to sign up and place your bet, you will get an extra $40 added to your bonus for winning your bet! https://hwage.co/2199234/
I'm making a video targeting right-wingers - Please critique and give feedback ASAP before I commit to recording? "Axiomatic Warfare and the Fatal Flaws of Modern Fascism"
“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”- Nazi Propagandists, Joseph Goebbels.
Axioms are our base assumptions about the world. They act as filters for new information coming into our consciousness. In classic philosophy, an axiom is a statement that is so evident or well-established, that it is accepted without controversy or question. As used in modern logic, an axiom is a premise or starting point for reasoning. We use these axiomatic assumptions to build our internal models of the world around us. They allow us to compare new information we receive from the outside with our internal narratives, which helps us to decide whether to reject or accept that new information. They are, for want of a better world, your "common sense" beliefs. So how do you go about changing a relatively normal person's core beliefs and base assumptions to the point of rejecting their fellow citizens as traitors, committing acts of murderous terrorist or vigilante violence like Fascist white supremacists running down protesters in acts of terror, ISIS beheadings or mass genocide?
Shock Treatment and Slow Repetition
When I was a child I was subjected to regular mental and physical abuse from my dad. I would also see my mother repeatedly beaten up and then flee to a women's refuge where I would stay with her. Each time my mom left, whenever I visited my dad at weekends, he would constantly try to pressure and manipulate me into convincing my mom to get back together with him. This never worked of course. But what it did do, is make me highly sensitive to manipulation techniques. I was fascinated by people like the magician Derren Brown and the economist Naomi Klein - who both reveal the tricks of the trade used in the advertising and marketing industries to convince people. One way of changing people into killing machines or obedient sheep is through a big shock to the system, like how electroshock therapy allows for a clean slate to rebuild peoples intern mental models. Psychedelics are another way, having a similar effect in the brain. Encouraged by the alt right and alt-light influencers like Jordan Peterson and Rebel Wisdom as they try to “Red Pill” people (an expression taken from the film The Matrix as a metaphor for revealing revealing the truth about the world). They use this shock and disorientation as a way to prepare a “blank-slate” in order to rebuild peoples internal axiomatic models with different core beliefs. Remaking people by shocking them into obedience and gas-lighting them about their existing internal models, making them seem irrational, silly or outdated. Reducing them to a mental state of a child and then rebuilding them with a new ideology and worldview, known as “shock therapy”. As Naomi Klein explains in The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism, these techniques work on larger scales with use of trauma and shock to influence political outcomes has been used since at least Milton Friedman coined the term “Economic Shock Treatment”. He advised that politicians push through painful and unpopular policies all at once during a time of crisis, before people could regain their footing. The technique is used in economic markets on the large scale, and also against individuals on a small scale with individuals too. Economics and politics is just human interaction on a larger scale, after all. Regular repetition and gentle suggestions of ideas can also instil new axiomatic models and core beliefs into people's minds. As Derren Brown demonstrates how powerful subtly suggestions can be alone, without the need for hypnosis, shocks or drugs. But used in combination, shock and repetition can shift people until they have moved their positions, perceptions and beliefs about the world, to a place they could never have imagined. But luckily once you deconstruct the deception and understand how the trick works, the illusion falls apart.
Defining and Deconstructing Modern Fascism
Firstly, we must define Modern Fascism. Modern Fascism ticks every box of the traditional definitions in Umberto Eco’s essay Ur-Fascism, and not only does it fulfil every criteria, it reveals other motivational forces and has evolved to include new aspects, and has changed into something worse, while it’s main weakness remain the same - the fact that it is primarily motivated by weakness. As General Franco said in a 1938 interview with Henri Massis: "Fascism presents, wherever it manifests itself, characteristics which are varied to the extent that countries and national temperaments vary. It is essentially a defensive reaction of the organism, a manifestation of the desire to live, of the desire not to die, which at certain times seizes a whole people. So each people reacts in its own way, according to its conception of life… What can it have in common with Hitlerism, which was, above all, a reaction against the state of things created by the defeat, and by the abdication and the despair that followed it?" This quote perfectly illustrates the transient nature of the ideology, but also the core motivations of Fascism. It is an ideology based on the assumption of weakness which yearns for restoration of a past greatness or to get revenge and recognition. But the way that it manifests itself is different in each place it takes hold. Therefore the aim of this isn’t to make the case that any particular party or country has embraced out-right fascism (plenty of other people have made that case already), the aim is to reveal the underlying motivations, highlight threats and weaknesses and analyse the less obvious negative effects of Modern Fascism.
History Doesn’t Repeat, But It Rhymes
A false equivalence that is often used is that Liberal Imperialism is just the same as Fascism. And while it is true that imperialists use fascist dictators to extract cheap labour and resources and also dominate smaller counties in a similar way to how fascist empires aspire to rule, the key difference is that the populations of those countries are not gripped by the same fear based delusions. And therefore more Liberal democracies are better equipped to hold their imperial position of power long term because they are better able to assess risks and react accordingly, rather than over-react based on paranoia and competing egos under excessive pressure. This false equivalence was also used in 1930’s Germany, because far-left Communists had been co opted and infiltrated by Fascists. They would repeat the mantra that “the Social Democrats were the real racists”. Contrary to the assumptions of most people, Fascism, as an ideology and political system of government is very distinct to white supremacy. It does of course include white supremecists, but In fact includes many other groups who have been co-opted by Fascist propaganda, or who implicitly support and enable their agenda. Examples of modern opposition which has been repeatedly infiltrated or just simply made up by Fascists include innumerable conspiracy theories, police groups like Blue Lives Matter, militant Black nationalists, the Boogaloo movement who call for a race war, the “Proud Boys” and even sometimes supposed Anarchists, far-left Communists and Left Accelerationists.
Motivations of Fascism
Fascism distilled down to its core reason for existing is the suppression of opposition who represent workers rights and economic justice. So they patently DON’T look after their own people. They con them into submission of the state by generating jingoistic fear of “the other” - whoever is convenient on that day to blame for their problems. Fascism is is an economic shock doctrine upon the inhabitants of the country. We don't spread fascist propaganda in tip-pot dictators because we care about the indiginous people there. We install Fascist dictators in order to remove workers rights and open up access to their natural resources. Artificial moral panics can be engineered and real disasters used to allow corrupt oligarchs and financial predators to consolidate power further by buying up small innovative businesses who don’t have the excess capital to survive the turmoil on their own without external support. Or as a way to eradicate public services by sabotaging them and building mistrust. They are used to erode faith in public services and institutions by rich people who simply want to pay less tax and don’t see why they should subsidise other human beings who haven’t had the same luck as them. So a major motivation of fascism is to suppress the opposition left-wing party who represent workers rights and egalitarian freedoms. Populists claim to be against free trade and to some extent they are, but whatever they do will fail because they are interfering with the markets, so they will retreat to the power of market domination. They use their threats of trade barriers as more just more shock treatment for markets, rather than protecting actual jobs or industries. This is a trick that has been played by Neoliberals too. But while Neoliberals use fascism as a tool for opening markets to Imperialism, they differ from Libertarians, not only because they embrace guns and weed, but they are starting from different positions to achieve the same goal; Neoliberals seek to remove already existing public services and workers rights that lift bargaining power. But Libertarians want to STOP the government from ever providing those services and investments into the poor or enshrining workers rights.
Modern Fascist Ideology has TWO Core Reasons to Exist; Fear and Freed.
I have been researching and analysing how economic systems differ, using a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threads). For each economic system I tried to be as neutral, fair and balanced as possible - which included Fascism. I might seem strange that someone who is anti-Fascist would want to explore the strenghts and opportunities of Fascist ideologies, but in doing so it reveals the real weaknesses and threats which are too important for us to ignore. So what exactly IS Fascism? Is it just an economic doctrine or a personal philosophy about the world? The answer is both. The ideology has TWO core reasons to exist, and TWO distinct audiences types - with one based primarily on fear and the other greed, with each having a malignant and symbiotic relationship with each other. Fear - Authoritarian/Conservative Fascists Greed - Libertarian Fascists There are very few people who actually buy into full Fascist ideology, most believe a watered down version of which resembles Conservatism or right-wing populism or accelerationism, and most of them genuinely believe they aren’t fascist, even though they are being constantly fed subtle suggestions fascist ideology or that align with their plans. But the most ironic thing is that these groups are mostly being used by the second group of rich Libertarians globalist elites pulling a confidence trick on the host nation. Often posing “anti-establishment” conspiracists who actually uphold the establishment through misinformation. See: Russia Today and Youtube Bitcoin and Gold shills who subtly suggest fascist talking points. With those rich Libertarians at the top more than happy for those below them, who they deem less worthy, living in even more delusional ideologies with fake enemies to fear, often resembling traditional Christian but values wrapped in modern conspiracies with added elements of “satanic panic”. Modern Fascism has clearly inspired the modern day equivalents of Brownshirts and Blackshirts, self-styled vigilantes like QAnon, The Proud Boys and “The Boogaloo” - white nationalist violent extremists who want to accelerate towards a full-on race war. It has also infiltrated numerous alternative groups, such as hyper-evangelical “end times” cults, alternative health scenes, internet conspiracy scenes like flat earth and occult magic.
Lockdown Conspiracies
A commonly missing hallmark of fascism that is present in history during the rise of fascism is a controlled opposition and explicit suppression of opposition. This distorts a healthy society and has unforeseen consequences and blowback. Fantasies and political thought bubbles are self delusional custom realities resembling an episode of Black Mirror. They act as coping and escape mechanisms. Especially during the Covid 19 lock-down, these tendencies have gone into overdrive with massive events entering the real world featuring David Ike leading protesters alongside fascists as people ignore rising Fascism, climate change destruction and Covid deaths tolls. Using disasters like Covid or irrational scare tactics such as the "Satanic Panic" style Fascist propaganda from QAnon, can shock people using their fear and disgust response, while making them distrust the news - allowing the government to evade valid criticism from experts while suggesting to people that government public services are inherently evil or Communist. This type of propaganda is a Libertarians wet dream - making a population not only give up on tax funded public services, but actively fear them. An example is Trump trying to discredit and defund the US Postal Service and other public institutions and regulatory bodies. Anti Semitism has been used throughout history by those in power to provoke an “us vs. them” mentality, leading to today's establishment still sanctioning and allowing Qanon on major media platforms, provoking and agitating terrorist attackers from the far-left and the far-right. Those in power in fascist regimes allow and encourage mistrust in the mainstream media, while the long-tail niche political and interest groups keep people separated from each other, who each live in their own custom realities while the real elites continue to dominate and increase their power. With each bubble framing realities based of identity, race, class, nationality, or even subculture special interests like alternative medicine and “gamer bro” culture, so that when they interact in real life or online, they are speaking past each other because they don’t even agree on the basic principles of how they view society.
The Fatal Flaws of Living in a Fantasy
While the main flaws and weaknesses of Fascism remain the same, they are in-fact exacerbated by this new hybrid model. It’s main weakness is the very fact that it is motivated by weaknesses, fear and greed - rather than true strength, self-confidence or heroic benevolent power, as their adherents like to believe. A misconception of fascists themselves that it is based on strength, when it is actually based on weakness - even when the driving force is greed rather than fear. Libertarian fascists want to extract labour and materials at cheaper prices, while inflating their own asset values. In other words; international financiers with little allegiance to any country. Ironically the very type of people who Conservative fascists claim to be opposed to. Fascism claims to make society more successful, but it actually accelerates the destruction of the culture, country or people, rather than preserving and conserving it, because it betrays a fundamental weakness of insecurity. Competitors and rivals can easily see through the charade of and take advantage. If anything does the exact opposite. Russian and China are clearly goading Western nations into becoming more divided and totalitarian, as they themselves benefit from becoming more Liberal and open and reap the competitive advantages that brings. See Kraut’s excellent video about Trump on China as an example. Keynesian investment in the country and people, giving workers more rights, opportunities and a more bargaining power is what makes a country successful and innovative, rather than the faux Keynesian policy of giving kickbacks to corrupt officials for government contracts and widening inequality by supporting the already rich, rather than the ordinary people.
Who Benefits in This Memetic War?
Who is going to war with who? Who is winning? A modern adage is that tankies are just fascists because of their support of authoritarian proto-fascist leaders and regimes who often claim to be Communist. But from my experience talking to actual fascists, they crave a more multi-polar world where other strong leaders rise up as competition and form alliances with dictators. So to me, it looks like Fascists are the real Tankies; wishing our enemies be stronger and wanting to accelerate towards race war or civil war that weakens the society. Not only did Donald Trump have knowledge of Russia allowing ISIS bounties on US troops and withhold that from the public while courting Putin, I have personally heard white supremacists backing extremists Islamists in Discord servers. Trump jumped to the defense of the people who put a 17 year old with a gun against civil rights protesters and assumed the intent before saying that the outcome should be decided by the legal system. They share common values and beliefs like Anti Semitism, accelerationist end-times fantasies, patriarchal traditional values and a fear of outside progressive cultures. In fact modern extremists white supremecist groups share recruitment and terrorist strategies and tactics with militant islamists. You could argue that it was inflicted by Russian or Imperialist propagandists onto the German people in order to take control of larger areas of Europe after the destabilisation of war. Hitler and Stalin came to a non agression truce called The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which as was a secret non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that enabled those two powers to partition Poland between them. The pact, signed in Moscow on 23 August 1939 by German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop and Soviet Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Molotov was officially known as the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. They divided Poland under the banner of fighting “Polish Fascism” nearly a century ago with both sides ultimately lying to their own people about spreading freedom while being authoritarian to their core and being able to blame “the other” as being the cause of all their problems. But these days fascism seems to be a rogue meme that no longer serves any particular group. It is pathologically damaging to any society that it happens to grip. Even the aforementioned Libertarians and accelerationists who think they are benefiting are only temporarily gaining by market price volatility. They ultimately lose through the blowback effect of the whirlpool they create.
Psychopathy, Alienation Nihilism and Insecurity
It is well established that Fascist dictators are driven by psychopathic characters and tendencies. They either don’t care about the truth, or disregard it if it’s not convenient to their narrative. In totalitarian despotic societies facts are reversed. As George Orwell proclaimed throughout his writings; “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”. Similar to how authoritarian Starlinist Communists harnessed people’s alienation and tricked them into thinking that it’s possible for the state to fully decommodify everything without having markets, money to account for things, domination or hierarchy or try to convince people that a revolution is just around the corner. But of course, a council representative is still the head of an organisation, for all intents and purposes, because they wield executive power over others, even if the name has changed. Markets are emergent properties when groups of humans want or need a certain commodity when it becomes available. But while both Communist and Fascist ideologies are based on lies that harness peoples alienation, fear and envy, Fascism is also especially to the weak. It is attractive to those who want to be strong again (or were never to begin with), or those who want to have a strong leader to help them. Fascism betrays to others the inherent weakness. Like the insecure kid in school who lashes out - others around can see that it is because of their own insecurity which makes them appear even weaker. Fascism is a psychopathy driven by insecurity. When people become so absorbed in an ideology there is a phenomena of people to self identify as an actual ideology? This produces a phenomena called Identity Protective Cognition, where people's self worth becomes attached to a belief system or ideology. So that when new information contradicts their worldview it is seen as an attack on the person themselves. Therefore irrational, emotional quick fix thinking is the default when there is too much pressure and they feel attacked. They no longer use their slow effortful reflective thinking. (See Daniel Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow) This approach has parallels in evolutionary biology, in which a central issue is the ability to adapt to changing environments. Competency - over-competitiveness in management causes chaos which STOPS hierarchies of competence. (Insert video clips of Sapolsky on Chaos vs Reductionism etc. timestamps linked). Fascists try to reduce variability in culture and outcomes - causes weakness of less adaptability - because as Sapolsky explains, the variability is not just noise in that type of system CAS (Complex Adaptive Systems) - the variability IS the system. It is fractal and scale free. The noise and variability is an intrinsic part of the system. But the system doesn’t function properly when the agreed-upon parameters that individuals believe to be true aren’t universal enough to have any form of group coherence. Birds and swarms of animals can produce amazing complex phenomena, which are greater than the sum of their individual parts. There is a “network effect” once a certain threshold and certain conditions and rules are met. These rules can be very simple, like repulsion or attraction, or staying a certain distance apart while traveling in a similar direction, but collectively they create patterns that emerge with complexity and I dear say, a certain amount of beauty. So what happens when millions of people are being brainwashed and misled by cults that are leaving them with a reduced ability to make decisions? Giving them shit-for-brains just so that some rich people at the top can pay a few percentage less tax? That is the sign of a deeply sick system that cannot continue to function effectively. It is sick on so many levels.
Emergence, Complexity and Human Evolution - A Social-Biological Analysis
The problem with viewing the world through only one lens of analysis (or bucket of knowledge) is that you can fall into unnecessarily reductive thinking. (Sapolsky clips) I describe myself as a philosophical anarchist. Which does NOT mean I want total chaos and disorder - it means I want the optimal solution to emerge - including the influences and experiences from the bottom-up. I also think that a bottom-up (or anarchist) lens of analysis is necessary for society to run cohesively in an optimal state. If it is repressed it distorts the overall picture of reality for everyone - similar to a CEO that doesn’t listen to employees and workers on the ground. I interpret as constantly holding authority to account - to justify its existence and reason for dominating others. I also believe it is every citizen's responsibility to hold authority to account. This would be necessary under ANY economic system or society. Anarchists also believe in stigmenric, rhizomatic action to make the world better, organically, not from a top-down authority, which fascism seeks to instill on society. Human beings are collectively parts of a bigger chaotic but stable system known as a CAS (Complex Adaptive System). CAS’s are chaotic systems that can reach periodic steady states of equilibrium. As Professor Sapolsky explains, humans uniquely exist with a mixture of both communal and individualistic tendencies; known in the scientific world as Tournament vs. pair bonding. All the evidence suggests that this tendency has greatly improved our success as a species. But those tendencies distorted too far one way or another lead to pathologies and the worst collective misdeeds and wars. Because as Professor Sapolsky also explains in his brilliant lecture series (which I have condensed the pertinent parts of into a 4 part YouTube video) about CAS; the signals coming from the randomness is being suppressed or repressed, it interferes with the functioning of the system. Pressure in the system makes the patterns more complex but at a certain point of increasing pressure in the complex system, it stops being linear and the doubling of patterns and periodicity totally stops. Order completely begins to break down because of the butterfly effect. Fascist regimes fettishise order and rigidity but in a complex adaptive system, the noise IS the phenomena, not a byproduct to be discarded, ignored or repressed. The majority of people on the right genuinely want to help society by bringing order, using top-down draconian measures if necessary. Whereas the left generally wants to help society by proactively building from the bottom up. I think both of these approaches are necessary to be balanced properly for a healthy functioning society to emerge. It seems our tendency to harness both traits and to focus intently on one or the other is our greatest collective strength, while also being our greatest weakness. And similarly, on an individual level I believe our greatest strengths and weakness are the fact that our brains work efficiently by categorising information to filter out the unimportant bits that slow us down. As the book by Daniel Kahneman - Thinking, Fast and Slow, brilliantly explains, slow deliberate, consideration thinking takes energy and time, so our brains developed filters which come out as biases. This is an inherent weakness of the human brain. Now imagine the butterfly effect on the life of just one person who is influenced by the brainworms of QAnon cults or conspiracies which distorts their internal models of the world which they use to filter information about the world The sad and shocking stories on forums like QanonCasualties show the devastating effects on their close friends, family and work life - amplified by their ever increasingly disconnected lives. (insert Flat earther clip - zoom in on idiot rolling head) Now scale that up to the level of a whole of a society, a country, or the world? This is a collective madness to cope with and avoid the reality facing us as a species. Only collective action with agreed basic facts to work from will do to avoid the total descent into actual chaos and destruction.
TLDR; Conclusion and Final Thoughts
In this essay I will have put forward the case for the following four key arguments being true and I have present supporting evidence to explain the logical reasoning for why our current definitions need updating and the threat levels reassed, from a non-hysterical but critical perspective. The overall claims I made are:
Modern Fascism has taken over right-wing populism and bears all the hallmarks of early 20th Century Fascist ideologies.
The ideology has two main reasons to exist, and two distinct audiences which both have a symbiotic, pathological relationship with each other.
The main flaws and weaknesses of fascist ideology remain the same as ever - that fascism is motivated by irrational fears, greed and self deception.
Modern Fascism has major unforeseen damaging consequences for individuals, governments, organisational dynamics, and society at large.
This reality is something I think a lot of fascists, ultra-nationalists and people who have been influenced by the propaganda know deep down on some level already - that they are avoiding the realities of pandemics and ecological harms of ignoring science and reality as it is. They ignore it because fantasies are simpler to understand. And a narrative based on fear of the other is a simpler way to to process a complex world. It is also attractive to the part of us that is drawn to conflict and drama - that hunger for something genuinely interesting to happen. But I would argue from my experience that the beautiful complexity of life in all it’s shades of grey is much more interesting, fun and genuinely fulfilling to understand and engage in, even if it might be harder to deal with and even harder to explain. I believe doing so is also vital for the very survival of our species - we can no longer afford to live in a fantasy, we need to collectively take responsibility for the world as it exists in reality.

In other words, you don't have to spend a dime! Simply click ("None of the above? We've got you! SkyOne will make a one-time donation to one of the following non-profits") on the eligibility page when signing up. https://refer.skyone.org/amadeoruiu3

HealthyWage
HealthyWage is an interesting website...got a few extra pounds from the quarantine you're trying to burn off? I personally want to lose 30 pounds, but needed a little extra motivation. Well, nothing motivates quite like money! The way this website works is, you essentially place a "bet" (at least $100) that you can lose at least a certain amount of weight (at least 10% of your total body weight) within a given time frame (at least 6 months), and if you are successful, you will get rewarded with your initial investment + a bonus (they offered me around a 10% bonus). You can pay out the whole bet at once, or split over the time frame of the bet. If you're wondering how they stay afloat, this company finances itself via the folks who failed to meet the terms of their own bet. You have to record yourself stepping on the scale via their highly-rated app (iOS/Android), so no cheating. For folks like me who have strong will power but just need extra motivation, I highly recommend this site! I made a...questionably large bet personally ($3000 if I can't lose my extra pounds), but talk about a powerful motivator... If you use my referral link to sign up and place your bet, you will get an extra $40 added to your bonus for winning your bet! https://hwage.co/2199234/
