00:00:18.400 The post-Enlightenment West sees itself as a thoroughly secular and modern society.

00:00:23.760 Sophisticated and progressive people have no time for silly superstitions or religious myths.

00:00:30.000 But reality is a stubborn thing, and even if modern man believes that he has transcended the need for religious archetypes,

00:00:36.300 they're so deeply baked into the nature of the world that they re-emerge in different ways.

00:00:41.300 Instead of discarding concepts like evil or the devil,

00:00:44.440 the West has reconstituted a secular version in the person of Adolf Hitler and the ideology of fascism.

00:00:50.640 One does not debate with the devil, one slays the devil, and the same is true of fascists.

00:00:56.160 This is why the left is now calling basic conservative ideas fascist,

00:01:01.020 because they're laying out the justification for political violence. 0.99

00:01:05.720 Would you travel back in time and kill baby Hitler? 0.72

00:01:08.780 This is one of the most common ethical questions that gets thrown around in discussions today.

00:01:13.580 Juxtaposing the innocence of an infant with the atrocities that could be prevented by an act that is immoral in any other context.

00:01:21.620 The murder of a child would normally be horrific,

00:01:24.100 but if it's a baby Hitler, a secular Satan who stands as our personification of evil, 0.97

00:01:29.540 perhaps it can be justified.

00:01:31.100 For many, the answer to this hypothetical is an enthusiastic yes,

00:01:34.480 because they see Hitler as so evil he stops being human,

00:01:38.140 and the rules of morality no longer bind you.

00:01:40.520 In 2017, the white nationalist Richard Spencer was punched in the face while giving an interview.

00:01:47.360 Spencer was not committing acts of violence or threatening anyone,

00:01:50.400 he was just simply sharing his views and exercising his right to speak.

00:01:54.500 The act was very popular with leftists,

00:01:56.960 and this began a dialogue around whether it was justified to punch a Nazi in the face.

00:02:02.200 The Supreme Court has, of course, made it clear that free speech extends to the rights of people like the KKK 0.85

00:02:07.380 to march in a Jewish neighborhood, even if it's full of Holocaust survivors.

00:02:11.460 But the majority of leftists ultimately agreed that it was justifiable for individuals to do violence

00:02:16.800 to those that they identify as Nazis.

00:02:19.480 Now that the moral justification for political violence had been established,

00:02:23.140 the only thing left to do was to label every conservative belief fascist.

00:02:27.340 The politically correct speech codes imposed by progressives have long served as secular blasphemy laws. 0.81

00:02:34.240 Charges like bigot, racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, and transphobe

00:02:38.420 all technically have different definitions, but they all mean the same thing. 0.79

00:02:42.960 Heretic. 0.63

00:02:44.080 At one time, these charges could have easily ruined an individual's life,

00:02:47.600 but as the left applied them to a wider set of basic conservative beliefs,

00:02:51.800 they started to lose their edge.

00:02:53.240 Now, progressives didn't change their strategy or anything.

00:02:56.340 They didn't rethink the effectiveness of morality of how they were going about this.

00:03:00.600 Instead, they just started to increase the intensity of their rhetoric during the Trump era

00:03:04.820 by deploying the term white supremacist in response to conservatives

00:03:08.480 who held radical beliefs like ending illegal immigration

00:03:11.900 or stopping the surgical mutilation of children.

00:03:14.560 This escalation proved ineffective,

00:03:16.760 and so their only option was to deploy fascists as their final word of power.

00:03:21.180 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket

00:03:24.880 takes you to more than just your destination.

00:03:27.680 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours,

00:03:31.800 and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.

00:03:36.280 Recalculating route.

00:03:37.500 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short...

00:03:41.840 Welcome aboard, KLM Royal Dutch...

00:03:43.620 Our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.

00:03:47.660 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

00:03:49.140 When you travel, travel well.

00:03:52.020 In the modern secular narrative,

00:03:54.240 the United States derives whatever moral authority it has

00:03:57.860 from defeating Adolf Hitler and the Nazis in World War II.

00:04:01.740 Hitler was certainly evil, 0.97

00:04:03.140 though arguably no more evil than the man we joined forces with to defeat him,

00:04:07.680 Joseph Stalin.

00:04:08.920 In either case, it's certainly good that the Nazis were defeated and Hitler was stopped, 0.91

00:04:13.380 but this event has taken on a near-biblical quality for the left.

00:04:17.400 As the historian and political theorist Paul Gottfried has explained,

00:04:22.060 anti-fascism became the religious ideology of the West after World War II.

00:04:27.500 Every leader that America opposes from Saddam Hussein to Vladimir Putin is compared to Hitler.

00:04:33.580 Any form of nationalism became suspect.

00:04:36.180 The veneration of the family became taboo.

00:04:38.860 The idea of celebrating tradition or heritage became blasphemy.

00:04:42.700 As the author R.R. Reno has put it,

00:04:45.480 the strong gods had to be banished for the fear that they might once again stir the passions of men.

00:04:51.340 Secret Nazis could be hiding anywhere,

00:04:53.980 and so it was the job of every institution and individual citizen

00:04:57.300 to remain vigilant and report the enemies of humanity.

00:05:00.740 Despite this ongoing secular crusade,

00:05:04.120 fascism is not a threat to the United States.

00:05:07.100 As Gottfried points out,

00:05:08.700 fascism was a discreet political ideology centered mostly in Italy in the 1920s and 30s.

00:05:15.640 Extending the term even to the National Socialists of Germany muddies the true definition.

00:05:21.520 Fascism is a historical phenomenon that is as dead as the people who practiced it.

00:05:26.400 The ideology is not some eternal enemy of mankind waiting in the shadows to reemerge.

00:05:33.260 It's as relevant to the modern day as anarcho-syndicalism or the diggers of the English Civil War.

00:05:40.280 It's become fashionable among many on the internet left to refer to conservatives as ontologically evil.

00:05:46.480 Most of them have no clue what that means, of course,

00:05:48.780 but they do know that it allows them to treat their opponents as subhuman.

00:05:52.340 If one is ontologically evil, it means that evil is a fundamental part of their way of being in the world.

00:05:59.360 Evil is not a choice that they made that can be somehow reversed or atoned for.

00:06:04.340 It's the fundamental basis of their very existence.

00:06:08.200 There is no reasoning with or debating with someone who is ontologically evil

00:06:12.560 for the same reason that there's no reasoning with a man-eating shark.

00:06:16.520 The shark is simply doing what sharks do, 0.99

00:06:18.920 and your only option is to stop it by killing it. 0.98

00:06:23.580 News anchors, left-wing commentators, and Democrat politicians 1.00

00:06:27.140 now regularly call Donald Trump and his followers fascists.

00:06:31.380 Even former President Joe Biden called half the country semi-fascist.

00:06:36.620 The bullets fired at Charlie Kirk bore several anti-fascist slogans,

00:06:41.200 and many mainstream leftist commentators continue to call him a fascist even in death.

00:06:46.520 Charlie Kirk's views on family and Christianity are called fascists,

00:06:51.060 the same views that are held by tens of millions of Americans.

00:06:55.060 California Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly called White House staffer Stephen Miller fascist

00:07:01.160 for a simple reason. 0.97

00:07:02.980 Newsom wants someone to kill Miller. 0.92

00:07:05.560 That's not hyperbole.

00:07:06.880 That's just what that charge means.

00:07:09.180 That's what leftists mean when they say fascist.

00:07:12.060 The left has established a framework in which it's not just morally justifiable, 0.99

00:07:18.100 but it's morally required to kill fascists. 0.81

00:07:22.040 They have trained and funded entire networks of Antifa activists as foot soldiers to carry out 0.98

00:07:28.220 their extrajudicial killings.

00:07:30.640 They've defined the most benign conservative opinions as fascist.

00:07:35.460 When progressives apply the label of fascist, they know exactly what they're doing. 0.99

00:07:40.880 They're calling for your death.

00:07:43.560 It's critical that in America we come to regard baseless charges of fascism in the same way 0.99

00:07:49.700 that we regard someone calling for the lynching of a black man. 0.93

00:07:53.620 It should be seen as reprehensible, disgusting, unacceptable, 0.97

00:07:58.320 something that removes you from polite society,

00:08:01.140 something that keeps you from getting gainful employment,

00:08:03.700 something that makes everyone want to keep you at arm's length.

00:08:07.700 Let's be really clear here.

00:08:09.460 The left is not killing people because those people are really fascists

00:08:13.480 and somehow a danger to them. 1.00

00:08:15.340 They're calling these people fascists so they can kill them, 1.00

00:08:18.920 so they can justify their murder, 1.00

00:08:21.280 so they can end their life.

00:08:23.460 That's all the charge is meant to do.
