Modern fascism no longer operates under clear ideologies such as "race" or "nation," but rather through hidden mechanisms: vectors, invisible forces such as algorithms, economic pressure, or media manipulation, acting on a "digital battlefield" where data loses its original meaning and only its power to influence matters. On social media, pacifist and warlike discourse can have the same destructive effect if they function as "vectors" of equivalent intensity.
The great paradox of Trumpism lies in its apparent pacifism: it avoided traditional wars, such as direct invasions, but deployed "vector wars" through suffocating economic sanctions, information manipulation, support for indirect genocides (such as that in Palestine), and the systematic destruction of truth under the slogan "all opinions are equal."
Gaza thus becomes a laboratory of vectofascism, where the goal is not only to kill, but to make the land uninhabitable: systematic destruction of hospitals, schools, and water sources, mass displacement with no possibility of return. "It's not a war, it's an extermination laboratory."
This model is dangerous because it nullifies morality by making violence invisible, destroys memory by instrumentalizing historical tragedies (like the Holocaust) to justify new massacres, dehumanizes by turning victims into mere "data" within an algorithm, and makes us complicit, since from our Western "peace" we justify distant crimes.
Faced with this, resistance demands "metamorphic navigation" to break digital bubbles by connecting opposing ideas, as real dialogues between conservatives and progressives outside of algorithms. It also involves generating "noise," making ourselves unpredictable to control systems through anonymous accounts that debunk fake news, and, above all, focusing on bodies, remembering that behind the "vectors," there are people suffering. Shouting "THIS HAPPENS TO US!", even when it happens in another country, is an act of resistance.
