seriously - it becomes very, very obvious who’s actually dealt with modern fascist governments before and who hasn’t whenever these conversations happen
If you'll permit a shitpost that's really an opportunity for you to respond and clarify why I'm wrong, I'm going to ask it. Here's the shitpost question:
So what you're saying is, if fascism is coming, comply in advance?
it’s not complying to avoid posting violent stuff online in public and to follow basic cybersecurity best practices, and it is in fact a good idea to do these things even when fascists aren’t in charge
I notice that you’ve been getting an awful lot of stick for recommending people take a little bit of care. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the warning and deleted all my even borderline posts and reposts. I’ve probably got a file from eons ago and shouldn’t be borrowing extra trouble.
