I have.
The playbook doesn't seem to change much at all. The content patches are few and far between.
I think if you've seen it all then you can spot them for yourself. A perfect example is "let's go Brandon"
The strategy/tactics don't change just some of the words. Cultural Marxism is another example.
Hell Qanon is just a rehashing of the protocols of the elders of zion.
This is something that I'm still working on a longer effort post on but the major evolutions have occurred as it pingponged between the US and Europe.
The concept of manifest destiny was itself rooted in early notions of white supremacy and European colonialism
The first modern fascists were people like Leopold, the "founding fathers", Cecil Rhodes, etc. The Nazis were inspired by eugenics and race science as well as the aforementioned colonizers and the ideas of American exceptionalism (which was and is just white supremacy) manifest destiny, and Jim Crow laws.
As we can see now post WW2 and especially post Vietnam war the American far right has, in turn, taken inspiration from and admiration of past Nazi groups. Azov Battalion is another example of fascism mutating within various cultures.
I suppose I'd just appreciate if they'd change around the mask and dog whistles more often. That :frothingfash: that showed up in Hexbear today screaming Gamergate-era trash was boring.
Damn I missed that one.
