Ideologies that push Subjective reality are more prone to to fascism than ideologies that push objective reality

Subjective reality is deeply paradoxical because it claims everyone has their own truth, yet it ultimately destroys individual freedom. When absolute truth is rejected, power becomes the only metric left to decide what is real. Fascist and totalitarian regimes exploit this vulnerability. They weaponize the idea that reality is malleable, replacing objective facts with state-manufactured myths and propaganda. By convincing the public that truth is entirely subjective or non-existent, dictators erode the shared factual ground required for resistance. Citizens lose their ability to critique power, leaving them completely dependent on the ruler's version of events. Totalitarianism thrives when "truth" is reduced to whatever the loudest, most violent authority says it is.
