A short thread on whether the honking great bellend @BorisJohnson can reasonably be called “a fascist”…

I have often posted about the creeping fascism 
in the Cummings/Johnson regime, & attracted much ridicule from unthinking Brexity types. They are keen to avoid inconvenient factual analysis...

Do I therefore think @BorisJohnson is “a fascist”..? No, he’s too uninterested in ideas to maintain any kind of ideology, even a lunatic one… Moreover, literally his only concern in life is *himself*.
However, his total absence of principles and morality (and his revolting lust for power without the hard work) make him *fashy*… That’s to say, entirely willing to allow fascist tactics if they seem convenient. He has no moral compass to restrain him.

Fascism is best thought of as a mobilising strategy for persuading the general population to act against its own interests, and works to protect money & power while pretending to empower the masses. #Brexit is a model fascist project… #StopFascism

This is exemplified in the disgraceful exercise through which Johnson chose his side on the Brexit referendum: he couldn’t care less about the issue itself, and made his choice purely on the basis of self-interest. #gross #Brexit #VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw

As with Brexit, fascism is reliant on lies, spinning absurd myths about racial superiority & national peril as cover for advancing elite interests. Having not a single molecule of honesty in him, Johnson is a great fit for the fascist cause. #FatbergOfDishonesty

This of course also means that his role in the current fascist project is nothing to do with leadership… He’s merely cover, a grotesque unwashed sock puppet being manipulated by Cummings, the Elliots and the rest of the Tufton Street nutjobs. #CummingsMustGo #crooks

The Tory party and Tufton Street have therefore manipulated the weaknesses of our system to burden us with the fashy tool @BorisJohnson as pantomime “prime minister” while they wreck the country for their own benefit. The Tory party must be *destroyed*.
