We’re at the “first they came for the transgender people, but I wasn’t transgender so…” stage of fascism.

Believe me, there have already been canaries in the coal mine that been checked off Fascists’ lists (POC, those with disabilities, assorted other Useless Eaters). They’re ticking down the list, and your whiteness or wealth will not protect you. Fight now.

So, not for nothing, but using your position as the dominant party in state legislatures to *checks notes* bar your elected opposition from partaking in government or for that matter speaking, is pretty much textbook fascism as someone in my Discord pointed out.

Notice how it's NOT a bunch of SS guys going to her house, it's using the legalist trappings of the existing system to seize power and silence opposition. Like how I told you fascism always ACTUALLY works.

It used to be normal for the House of Representatives to expand.

It wasn’t until 1929 that Congress arbitrarily capped the size of the House at 435 members.

Back then, each House member represented roughly 200,000 people.

Today, that number is 760,000.

Expand the House.

The point of destroying Twitter’s verification system isn’t to make money. It’s to destabilize reporting and make it impossible to determine if sources are legitimate.

Fuck off with calling all these anti trans and anti gay laws "controversial." They're hate laws. They're fascism. They're evil.

Journalists are going to "both sides" fascism until they are literally executed by the fascists.

One of my be biggest mistake that a lot of people make when facing up against authoritarians and conservatives is to assume that these people just need to see the truth, that they are making mistakes and just need to be shown that. It doesn’t work like that. They aren’t interested in truth or justice. They care about power and a hierarchical social order above all.

The very idea of humans being all fundamentally equal and deserving is wrong and unnatural to them. You can’t argue with them about how for example legislation will unfairly harm some people. That’s an intended and necessary outcome for them, not a problem to be addressed.

And they believe everyone thinks like they do, so they assume any attempt at making the world more fair and just must be a trick to replace or surpass them in the social hierarchy. To them, the hierarchy is eternal and natural, and dismantling it impossible in the same way that going faster than light is physically impossible.
