Every fascist government that has ever existed is always ended up in mass death and destruction everyone. Of course Bob, how else is it supposed to be? I know a better way.
Snyder reasons with clarity, throwing the past and future into sharp relief. Founding Fathers tried to protect us from the threat they knew, tyranny that overcame ancient democracy. our political order faces new threats, On Tyranny is a guide to resistance, with ideas on how to preserve our freedom
My 90-y/o mother was the matriarch of the Democratic Party in my hometown. Community and grass roots efforts were strong. But not now. She says she’s never been so frightened as she is of this administration. We need to be with our kind and make a plan. We need community and unity. Let’s fight.
Love to your mom.
✨💚✨ Ask her about how it felt when the last group of nahtsees were stopped. Remembering those feelings will help her through the fear.

Musk is bringing back the white supremacist because he doesn't actually think there's anything wrong with white supremacism
We must stop Trump and his thugs 🛑
This author has been releasing the tenets of #fascism. It’s terrifying to see how perfectly aligned we are with it. If anyone questions calling the US fascist, ask them to name a single tenet. They can’t. They don’t know what constitutes fascism, but know it isn’t that.
we just never learn until the midnight trains arrive and the ovens are lit! then everyone beats the chest saying” how did this happen” and “i didn’t know anything, responsible ppl know votes have consequences
Fits today perfectly. But I doubt the author penned that in the 1930s. Use of the words “sexism” and “mass media” weren’t buzz words until mid-late 20th century.
Sure but they try to make the Jewish 1939 experience (not the same) with an adherence with what’s going on now when we can clearly see the dictatorship is happening now by “a final coalition “ by Netanyahu and his buddy Trump to ethnically cleans Palestinians from their land
Fascism has been alive and well in the USA for over 30 years. What we are witnessing now is Authoritarian Fascism. This is what happens when people catch on that industry and government have merged. The people were waking up. Authoritarianism is the elite's response.
Lol, not at all. China is a state capitalist system. And when has any artist or intellectual ever forced any society to accept socialist ideals? If they could, we would be a better society. No one listens to them. Oh, but good job on removing sexism from the list.
China changed to a hybrid after they realized communism just keep them poor. It mandates Intellectuals and artists idealize the representation of life under socialism. Not as bad as distain, but still very limiting to creatives. We may have starving artists here, but at least they can be artists.
Fascism is not sustained by force alone—it is desired. As Wilhelm Reich asked, “How could the masses be made to desire their own repression?” Deleuze and Guattari take this further: “The masses were not innocent dupes; at a certain point, under a certain set of conditions, they wanted fascism.”

The Establishment and "The Lobby" turned it around 180 degrees and used fascism to serve its interests $$$$. It's through those lens that we must analyze the situation.
We were there yesterday morning, and this stuck out to me. I just looked at my Dad with tears and said it's happening again, and no one is taking it seriously this time, either.

And it can get worse.
Persist and resist together
