The mass of fascism is the working class traitors. The petite bourgeoisie and those who pretend and desire to become that. Of course, they're going to get shafted later, by the rich fascists.
Egocentric victimhood is linked to support for Trump, study finds
Some things are so horrible and evil that it's difficult to ridicule them, it requires a lot of creativity.

"The Southern Argument for Slavery"
Here: https://www.ushistory.org/us/27f.asp
Defenders of slavery argued that by comparison with the poor of Europe and the workers in the Northern states, that slaves were better cared for. They said that their owners would protect and assist them when they were sick and aged, unlike those who, once fired from their work, were left to fend helplessly for themselves.
NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/1859/01/19/archives/the-abolition-of-slavery.html
The "personal benefit" is a type of welfarist argument. As in the slave owners "gave them good lives" and that made it all OK.
The important part. This is literally self-defense.
Of course. It's the "Forest Slayer Clowns".
