Now they're presenting that poll result under the title \"The people have spoken\" and with the flair \"Shady Election\".\n\nI wish those submissions were a joke. But they're not. They're dead serious.\n\nAs if the disinformed opinions of disinformation sub users meant anything. As if the fact that Biden won were subjective and could be voted upon by a group of self-selected liars. As if reality could be bullied into submission. As if Trump had won the election. As if his lies were true.\n\nTo quote from Hanna Arendt's [Origin's of Totalitarianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origins_of_Totalitarianism):\n\n> Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion, fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.\n\nThis is the same kind of arrogance you can see in all of the posts about the \"Freedom Convoy\" in Canada. \"Conservative\" Reddit seems to believe that because the \"Freedom Convoy\" makes a lot of noise, it \"proves\" something. As if the usefulness of vaccines could be disproved by protests. As if gathering a bunch of trucks were a method to refute science. As if what they call \"the will of the people\" were superior to scientific experts. As if loud and obnoxious stupidity were any less stupid.\n\nFrom Umberto Eco's [fourteen general properties of fascist ideology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Umberto_Eco):\n\n> 13\\. \"[Selective Populism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_populism)\" – The People, conceived monolithically, have a [Common Will](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_will), distinct from and superior to the viewpoint of any individual. As no mass of people can ever be truly unanimous, the Leader holds himself out as the interpreter of the popular will (though truly he dictates it). Fascists use this concept to delegitimize democratic institutions they accuse of \"no longer represent[ing] the Voice of the People.\")",
