"exercise appeals to fascists"


yesterday I was watching an old Red Letter Media episode where they covered the hilariously pretentious Turtle Dreams

I went to look up more info about it, and on reflection the creator had this to say about it:

In a 2010 interview, Monk said she found standard music concerts boring, and said "at that time I started to try to feed in elements to that situation—like one little element of movement. Turtle Dreams is a music piece that has a very simplified movement component. I was working on that music myself, and then I thought 'wouldn't it be interesting if the movement had a totally simple counterpoint? So instead of standing there singing, what about if we went from side to side?' And from there, the piece seemed to make itself." She also added, "When I was working on it I didn't realise some things that I see now. There's a certain fascist element to it, and I wasn't conscious of that at the time.... There's a flatness, a surface style to the people, and maybe a kind of narcissism too."

to borrow terminology that this sector of the internet uses all the time, I feel like everyone calling things fascist these days are gaslighting

because they make me question whether I have a proper understanding of what fascism means, like all these people are so confidently saying things that seem retarded and unrelated but so many are doing it, maybe I just don't get it?

fascism isn't just the governments enacting those policies, but every tiny action that might somehow slippery slope lead to fascism as well?

eating peas is fascist, because my consumption of them proves there is demand which causes pea farming companies to force their laborers to work slightly harder, perpetuating a kind of modern regimented slavery which is in service to fascist ideologies
