REMINDER: if a white person is using #woke to insult another white person; given that the word is from African American vernacular and it’s related to activism, just substitute the word for N*-lover. as Toni Morrison liked to remind us, there is no #fascism without #racism. related: Cori Bush: “Anti-Woke” Is Barely Disguised Code for “Anti-Black” | Truthout https://truthout.org/articles/cori-bush-anti-woke-is-barely-disguised-code-for-anti-black/ How the n-word became the ‘atomic bomb of racial slurs’ | PBS News https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/n-word-became-atomic-bomb-racial-slurs

This nation's descent into the deepest cesspools of #fascism has commenced. While not surprising, the devastation our country will now experience will, undoubtedly, set us back generations. Given the red wave (more like red tide), #americans prefer a #demented #corrupt bumbling #misogynistic #idiot and #whitesupremacist than a highly intelligent and well-qualified #bipoc #woman. Welcome to #america. We are so turbofucked. #uspol #dirtbagdon #news #doom #election

addendum: *required* viewing for all Americans for everyone in the world made by the US War Department at the end of WWII, a discussion between a regular Joe who almost gets seduced by a fascist street preacher, and a Hungarian immigrant who tells him this is how Hitler started, in detail at a moment of historical clarity, an inspired piece of propaganda how #fascism rises: divide and conquer with hate, while regular folks go "just crazy talk" "Don't Be a Sucker" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGAqYNFQdZ4

So there is some finesse here. The difficult task in containing latent fascism is knowing how to react to it. Too harsh and you feed it. Too soft and it grows.

But this is absolutely true and everyone must know it:

You aren't going to have to eventually confront fascism.

It is simply the truth that it is always there to be confronted.

All of us. All societies. For all time.

It's always bubbling under the surface. And it *must* be confronted.

Early, or it grows.

And claims innocence.

Happy #MemorialDay For all those who gave their lives in the previous struggle against #fascism.

Let us make sure it was not in vain, and that we learn from their sacrifices.

Everyone lucid in the world is freaking out about the rise of #fascist thinking, well, everywhere. Why? Didn't we defeat this obscenity 80 years ago after much suffering? Why is it resurging? The problem is not that people don't learn from history (they don't but that's another issue), the problem is that #fascism is always with us. Since the dawn of time and forever more.

All fascism requires is:

1. ignorance
2. indecency
3. a demagogue to yoke the walnut brains and ride them to power

On social medias, Turkish Secular Nationalists (Rightist Kemalists/Secular Turanists) call àErdogan's re-election the "beginning of the demographic apocalypse" in #Turkey, while Islamist Nationalists celebrate it as the "Last step before restoration of natural Turkish borders" and the "last nail in the coffin's door of Turkish secularism" #Fascism

PETER THIEL "A product of the Ivy League system who wants to take it down. A gay man who backs candidates that would degrade his civil rights. A hedge fund tech investor who thinks Silicon Valley hasn’t done anything innovative in 50 yrs. A Trump backer & advisor who walked away when he got what he wanted. Peter Thiel is known as a contrarian, but it may be simpler than that. He might just be a nihilistic prick." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PRSXxrWdHo #USPol #Fascism

Friends: False equivalence and demoralization are fascist gold. The MAGA set badly want you to give up any sense of idealistic striving. They need you to believe that the system is rotten and degraded. Once the full promise of democracy has been undercut, nobody objects to its being discarded. That’s their plan: to sully everything in the political imagination until the majority relinquish any claim to something better than their violence and sadism. #politics #democracy #MAGA #fascism

Everyone contact your #representatives and tell them to #vote no on the #restrictact. This bill is not just about #banning #tiktok, it allows the government to #ban any service they wish. #government #censorship of the #internet is not what #america is all about. What is worse is the act allows the government to #spy on Americans through their #electronic #devices without a warrant. If you use a #vpn to access a #banned service, you can go to jail for 20 years and face a 1 million dollar fine. This bill is pure #fascism and must be stopped. Tell your representatives that if they vote in favor of this bill, we won't reellect them to office. #tiktokban #GOPfascists #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy
