XIV Things about Fishermen (Pronounced fashizm)
I. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fishermen regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
II. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in Fishermen regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of poo. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
III. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
IV. Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
V. Rampant Sexism
The governments of Fishermen nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under Fishermen regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-homosexuality legislation and national policy.
VI. Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media are directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media are indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
VII. Obsession with National Security 👈👈👈
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
VIII. Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in Fishermen nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
IX. Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a Fishermen nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
X. Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a Fishermen government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
XI. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fishermen nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free _expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
X11. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under Fishermen regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in Fishermen nations
X111. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fishermen regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in Fishermen regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
XIV. Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in Fishermen nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fishermen nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

@johnmichaels4172 what Is Deflection?
In general, deflection means that you're passing something over to someone else in an attempt to draw the attention away from yourself. It is a psychological defense in which you deflect blame to others. When you were younger, you may have deflected the blame for a negative activity by pointing out a different negative activity your sibling did. This is to avoid dealing with negative consequences. But, this behavior can be long term and can become a psychological defense mechanism. As you got older, you might have tried to pass the blame for a bad report to a different coworker. You may have tried to get out of looking bad by trying to say that it was someone else who did it. All of these things are examples of deflection.
-----------
What is Projection?
Deflection is commonly grouped with the term projection. Projection, like deflection, is where you place blame on others. But, with projection, you place unwanted feelings onto others. These can be feelings of anxiety, guilt, shame, and other negative emotions. According to an article from Healthline, projecting is where you place your own behaviors on others. Their article uses the example of a cheating spouse who accuses their spouse of infidelity. Either way, someone who deflects or projects may have a super ego and struggle to accept reality. These defense mechanisms can be incredibly harmful to the people around you, and can lead to a toxic relationship.
