“One thing I noticed about fascism and trauma, from the intellectual side. I’ve seen people (former libertarians) who admitted to have been under the effects of trauma all their life, who then study the European intellectuals who were precursors of fascism, and then they admit to feeling “at home.” Quite shockingly, traumatized people seek to re-experience the sensation of trauma, and if they are of an intellectual bent, they will fall in the fascist cul-de-sac and they will feel very well living there, for a long while. Until the next crisis.
