I feel like part of the problem is that people don't expect fascism to be so goddamn pathetic. They see obvious morons like this or Trump, and they struggle to imagine how they could possibly be dangerous.

I guess the lesson from history here is that just because they're ridiculous it doesn't make them any less dangerous.

Like the stupid titles and vocabulary of the Klan, or the infantile memes of frenworld.

You weren't kidding! Here's an excerpt..

Its chief officer was the Grand Cyclops, who appointed two Nighthawks, a Grand Turk, a Grand Sentinel, Grand Magi and a Grand Ensign in addition to his Grand Scribe. The Grand Cyclops, Grand Exchequer, Grand Magi (second officer) and Grand Monk (third officer) were elected by the body politic of the dens, identified as Ghouls.

What the actual fuck?

Sounds like a game of Dungeons and White Dudes.

Check out the Behind the Bastards podcast. Robert did a couple on the origins of the KKK and, yeah, they started out basically as a "retvrn to tradition" D&D group who got rebooted into racist terrorists. Bunch of pathetic nerds seeking power and finding it in violent terror.

They sound like the titles a group of fifth graders would come up with for their secret treehouse club.

Yeah this makes me afraid that I'm going to homebrew some NPCs that accidentally follow this naming scheme too closely

They got perilously close to the Grand Nagus in Star Trek.
