The United States is collapsing into total fascism because for a long time significant swathes of the white majority accepted limited fascism targeting minoritized people and that analysis doesn’t even account for the original sin of the settler colonial country existing in the first place

Many who died did so under the illusion that they were defending democracy when they were really carrying out harmful imperialist missions.

i refuse to entertain this bullshit. the fascist regime is explicitly masculinist, patriarchal, and pro-rape. it is not "a brutal time to be a young man" because people aren't licking your balls enough and you feel scolded by the people whose subjugation you benefit from.

the "brutality" that cis men are facing? hurt feelings. being told to consider other people as equally human. being told their right to sex does not trump other people's human rights. being asked to treat women as people. 5000 years of rule by rape, & the worst thing they can imagine is hearing "no"

every fucking day. it never ends. when they repealed roe, it was "we need to appeal to lonely young men." cis bros suggest state-mandated breeding slavery, and it's "what about empathy for men?" trump admin releases a 400 page document attacking trans youth, and it's "a brutal time for young men"

Took me nearly 2 decades of learning to sew, getting to know fabrics, etc. because I didn’t have tons of money to spend on learning. When people ask me to teach them to sew, I want to pass on skills! But I know most will give up when they realize the $/time needed to become confident and competent.

"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:
"We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."

It’s this compulsion to be “balanced”, this pseudointellectualism and it drives me fucking nuts. It’s also one of my favorite things to talk about when it comes to this state.

This describes most middle aged whit men in Massachusetts. It’s why we can barely even elect a Dem governor
