    Reposting one of my old comments:

    Fundamentally satire of fascism doesn’t work because fascist ideology revolves around the idea that you’re a loser made weak by the removed other but can be made strong and cool by doing all the violence.

    If fight club had a scene where Tyler Durden tried to ask a girl out in queue to the McDonald’s breakfast menu, pissed himself out of nervousness, and then broke into tears in front of everyone. All that would change is there’d be a fascist org called Piss Boys whose initiation would involve drink a lot of water before queuing up for the world’s greasiest hash browns.
