forcing members to design their profile pictures (PFPs) in the exact same format and colors (black and white) strips away personal individuality. historically, armies, cults, and extremist groups use uniforms because a person who looks exactly like everyone else stops feeling like an independent individual responsible for their own choices.
forcing the aesthetics to focus explicitly on "weapons, helmets, or anything you want to put on it" using strict "white and black" color formatting is an intentional choice to look militaristic, aggressive, and punitive. what you're making isn't trying to look like helpful public servants; they are trying to look like a paramilitary force. historically, fascist movements (like the Italian Blackshirts or the Nazi SS) relied heavily on dark, uniform, militaristic aesthetics to appear intimidating and powerful to outsiders.The rule stating: "Yes, you will have to follow my lead, even if it isn't a good idea" is the exact definition of authoritarian totalitarianism. In Nazi Germany, the legal and social system was built entirely on blind obedience to the top leader, regardless of the morality of the command. By explicitly telling members they must execute orders even if they think they are "not a good idea," you're trying to completely bypass their members' natural ethical boundaries.
requiring members to publicly stamp themselves with the group's name, signaling that their loyalty belongs to the collective "hive mind" rather than their independent personal brand.
fascist regimes always require an ultimate enemy to justify their existence. you claim the goal is "to remove all trolls and uttp from TikTok." by painting yourselves as the ultimate moral saviors ("The Police") fighting a completely evil "outgroup" ("The Trolls"), they give their members a sense of high-stakes purpose. This self-righteous vigilantism makes the members believe that any aggressive action they take—doxxing, reporting, raiding, or harassing—is perfectly justified because they are "cleaning up the internet."The rule stating: "Yes, you will have to follow my lead, even if it isn't a good idea" is the exact definition of authoritarian totalitarianism.
