      Crypto in this context means doing it in secret, it’s a hilarious coincidence that crypto people are almost always also cryptofash, but the term predates cryptocurrency.

      Cryptofash almost universally self-identify as some form of liberal (as the two movements have a LOT of overlap, best seen in the matching descriptions of “third position fascism” and “third way liberalism”) but some of them will even pretend to be lefties to sew false consciousness.

      Fun fact, there was actually a strain of cryptofascism called crypto-leftism that I got a head start on as I just so happened to run into them in the preparation stage while doing research for antifa. The narrative being you can use crypto to weaken and overtake the state. Sadly some relatively powerful leftists have already fallen for it and really didn’t take too kindly to my warnings. It’s always sad to see when that happens.
