March 31, Bill Maher had dinner at the Whitehouse with Donald Trump, Kid Rock, and Dana White.

April 11, Bill Maher made an episode of his show glazing Trump. It was loaded with civility shit. He talked about how civil Trump is in person and how they agree on a lot of stuff.

Bill Maher is a right wing Zionist who identifies as a Democrat on his talk show.

April 21, Larry David (creator of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm) publishes a satirical story in NYT titled "My Dinner with Adolf". It does not name Bill Maher directly but people have interpreted it to be mocking Bill Maher. https://archive.is/tNjw7

I think Larry David is a Bernie-crat. He's met Bernie Sanders. Some articles say he has never been to Israel but some of the episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm seem pro-Israel. He might be a Liberal Zionist.

Yesterday, Bill Maher accuses Larry David of disrespecting the victims of the Holocaust by comparing Trump to Hitler.

This post smells like magacommunism shit. I seen a lot of Hinkle followers on twitter say that people can't be fascists today because fascism could only exist within the period that it was invented.

My baseline definition of Fascism is anticommunism. A Fascist is someone who will do whatever they think is necessary to prevent communism. The definition of Fascism is incoherent is because Fascists just took Marxism and said "let's do the opposite of that". Like if you look at Mussolini's theories, Mussolini has the theory of Class Collaboration, whereas he believes that working class and capitalist class naturally benefit each other. Mussolini just took the Marxist concept of class conflict and then declared he believes the opposite.

A fascist is a person who sees the contradictions of capitalism and makes up alternative explanations for why these problems are occurring under capitalism. Not enough jobs? Blame immigrants. Planes crashing? Blame minorities. Citizens don't want to reproduce? Blame gay people or women. Problems occur under capitalism because of capitalist profit seeking. Fascists make up alternative explanations because they want to preserve the hierarchies. Fascists have decided that they like their position in the capitalist hierarchy and want to preserve that position.

So what makes Trump similar to Hitler? There is the obvious opposition to communism. There is also the desire to preserve and even reinforce the social hierarchies of capitalism. Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory called Jewish Bolshevism. Hitler did not just oppose communism or Jewish people individually, he believed that communism and Jewishness were the same. Hitler believed that communism was a Jewish plot and that the Soviet revolution was a Jewish revolution. In that communism was a threat to hierarchy of German Society, Hitler also believed that Jewish people were a threat to hierarchy of German Society. Trump exhibits many of these same behaviors. Trump has said many times that he believes that "radical left" politics is controlled by an external force. He believes that immigrants are a source of the opposition of the hierarchies of American society. Like Hitler attributed communism with Jewishness, Trump attributes "radical left" politics with immigrants. Thereby Trump thinks that he can remove "radical left" politics from the US by deporting immigrants. The Nazis also originally planned to deport Jewish people and Communists, but then later resorted to mass extermination.
