One difference between fascism and garden-variety authoritarianism is that fascism requires *public* violence.
The spectacle of gratuitous violence must be public, because fascism is built on the mythos that evil schemers are a threat to the true volk.

See how easy it is when you don't let yourself be intimidated by a sociopathic billionaire and his US government pals? Europe needs to block Grok and Musk, and, to coin a phrase #TakeBackControl
Malaysia and Indonesia become the first countries to block Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s xAI, after authorities said it was being misused to generate sexually explicit and non-consensual images.

Kemi Badenoch comes across like someone who wouldn't know what a checkout counter in a supermarket is
Kemi Badenoch has given an interview in which she says the Grok/X issue can be solved simply by stopping children going on social media because social media is an ‘adult space’. So presumably she thinks child abuse images are fine, as long as only adults look at them?!!
