    fascist cronyism doesn’t require everyone to be a crony. just enough people to flummox the people who actually give a shit. if boozey pete had some high ranking DOGE dope install a starlink connection point in his office, and got enough high ranking officials to be cool with it, that’s enough to get it done even if most people there find this to be a problem.

    it’s not about the bad ones doing evil. it’s about convincing the good ones there’s nothing to be done. as the saying goes, all evil needs is for good men to do nothing. well. fascism is mostly about manufacturing consent by convincing you to do nothing
