it's specifically that he says fascism maps with our hangups as individuals, and therefore therapy "makes you better at resisting" it

no one of any consequence says don't go to therapy, instead we're saying "fash recruit from people who can't afford to go to therapy"
this is personal responsibility ideology by way of income; if one can't afford therapy, one may be less Fash Resistant™️

meaning those with money and the correct ideas about getting therapy are more Fash Resistant™️
therefore, it is on you to get a good job and make the right consumption choices, because otherwise you "have a higher propensity to become fash"

the problem isn't therapy, it's that you can't just tell people to simply have more money or to consume better
I'm not saying the dude is accepting this ideology intentionally, but IDC because he's accepting it. It's the same logic that the White Fragility book engages in. Ultimately progress comes from consumption, responsibility is offloaded onto you.
And that's not because Carlos says so, but rather because this society fucking sucks. However, if our analysis simply leads us back to everyday people like ourselves when we assign responsibility, we aren't getting anywhere.

We are not the problem.
1. therapy does not make you more fash-resistent by default. it helps you cope with your personal problems, which might not hurt you

2. if it did, then the solution isn't "go to therapy," it's "make therapy free at point of service, along with all other health services"
