A constructivistically hyperreal paradigm of fascism which eschews Nietzsche's will-to-sense paradigm in favor Schopenhauer's power-to-desire paradigm.

Synthetic fascism substitutes Friedrich Nietzsche's model of nihilism for Kashif Vikaas's model of aesthetic or "meta"-nihilism.

In synthetic fascism will is postulated as having "synthetic" or "false" origins.

The paradigm of 'synthetic' will is also marketed as 'vapor sharia.'
Synthetic fascism replaces Nietzsche's paradigm of will with a contrapositive paradigm: power-to-desire.

initially appearing to have masculine traits such as knowing how to shave, change a car tire, change your oil, or hang a picture frame. To only be ousted as having synthetic masculinity due to a lack of real understanding of how to do these 'basic' tasks as a man. This often stems from someone's mother taking the role of a father figure instilling a level of synthetic masculinity resulting in a base level of confidence until confronted by someone with authentic masculinity.
Jack's mom taught him how to shave his face and shake hands.

On the surface, he appeared to be fine but beneath his fragile shell of masculinity, he knew that he was unable to live up to the standards of what it means to be a 'man' in modern society.

Without a masculine role model, he was raised to be synthetically masculine, resulting in deep fear of not being good enough to be called a man.
