This is a very insightful look into how we become what Trump is telling us he's not. It's so easy we have to speak out Trump and his unholy minions are leading us down a road that is devastating. Please open your eyes do what you have been doing all your life don't change and believe this dictator.
This is what neo-confederate white nationalism looks like. Narendra Modi & Orban are fascists. Trump & Musk are neo-confederate white apartheid Casteist nationalists.
We are never going to get out of this Authoritarian State until you unplug and start over with your purchase power. You helped fuel their hate by enabling them. #boycott #tesla #meta #x and any advertisers who use these platforms. You are currently in your own way. Period. The end! Wake the F Up!
When I saw Farage's new black and white picture it reminded me of Oswald Moseley. The rhetoric is very similar and I hope the same nonsense eventually gets the same response.
In case you do not remember, a bunch of activists, students, and people from all sectors of America Stopped tfb he Vietnam War. Resistance is Possible. I was there.

They are 100% trying to establish a fascist regime. I would like to believe the educated amongst us will rise up. To battle this radical movement the left is going to have to get radical itself. History rhymes .
And which direction is fascism headed currently?...be honest.
In a few more months 80% of the people are going to be so sick of having to deal with all the extreme right gobbledygook, that it will die on the vine...
While true. The are in control and even if 80% are sick of it. MAGA has a cult following remind you (77million people voted that way). They support and do the actions of 1 man. My question is how will the left respond? You can’t run out a moderate again and expect to win.
At this point I see no vision forward with the current centrist viewpoint to work. Unlike the right, the left won’t vote for someone based off name. They will sit out of elections if they don’t like the candidate .
A cult doesn’t change its ways till the cult leader is gone. History has numerous examples. They would justify their own suffering in the name of the cause and their leader.
First Musk, now Bannon, the name of their movement is Make America Great Again, stems from the Nazi movement in the 40's. If it looks like a Duck, Quacks like a Duck! It's a fucking Fuck!
I have seen the terms fascist and nazis used against certain groups of people/individuals for some years on social media and these people were laughed at and mocked.
It didn’t go unnoticed by some of us but like Brexit it was called hyperbole and fearmongering.
I just think we have to constantly do it. The sky is falling because it almost is. The shameful statement about Ukraine has to get on the front cover of every newspaper, social media etc.
Say it out loud. Democracy dies: like smoke filling a room while we wait for someone else to sound the alarm. Nothing reveals society's paralysis quite like watching freedom suffocate because everyone assumed someone else would save it. Even fire inspectors check for smoke detectors.

Difference then and now: age of debate and reason has faded away. Replaced by sound bites of cruelty that appeal to the base instincts of certainly 77m. To fight facism requires not debate but to get into the dirt with them unfortunately.
I could not agree with you more look at the James Baldwin and William Buckley debate. Of course Baldwin is a genius, but can you imagine people debating like this in 2025?
The lurch towards extremism reflects society. Over the years, education and intellectual pursuit just for the sake of learning has been diminished, extinguished. What's left: desire for pleasure. History has shown that bad actors fill that need, eg Haitians eating pets.
Have you read "Upstream" by Dan Heath? It's an enjoyable book. I also enjoyed, "How to Stand up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa. Great books for complex issues and f#ckery.
Unfortunately, I do remember. I lived my dad's Vietnam. I am a combat veteran as well. I remember the people that spit on my dad when he came home and called him a baby killer. I protested at Standing Rock. I can't do this alone.
@Ms. Misanthrope, I hear you. I did not spit on anybody; I lost friends and classmates in that war. I protested because they were dying needlessly and the government was lying to us.
Same here. Those guys were my older brother and his friends. They were some of the guys I knew after the war. I protested for them and an entire generation of young men and the Vietnamese people.
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. I am a combat veteran and therefore I'm against war. It should always be the last thing you do. But when those veterans come home they need help. Thanks for all your good work.
The Priest at my old college had something of a unique take on the Nazi salute. He argued that it was a metaphor for the male erection; that Hitler and his stooges were all to some extent impotent and that the salute somehow showed their virility and it was there for all to see. God bless Fr Hickley
I used to tell my students the same. When challenged, I asked them to show me a single salute that looked otherwise, or perhaps one that looked like female genitalia.

Yes, there are criteria for both. We've exceeded the baseline.
Didn't people vote for Mumps because they like the way he "calls it like he sees it"?
It is fascism. Seen and called.
In a few more months 80% of the people are going to be so sick of having to deal with all the extreme right gobbledygook, that it will die on the vine...
But that involves real economic pain...unfortunately there is no other way....well, other than war.
If MAGA can be minimized, then the left can return to more of centrist platform.
So maybe MAGA really is less a cult and more of a political party.
Not Nazis.
Riiiiiight.

Musk/Trump are now actively threatening the powerful who show dissent to scare us plebs
We cannot let this stop us from speaking up
