"accelerating capitalism will galvanize the proletariat" obviously, but to what end? when material conditions worsen & workers lack the necessary education/consciousness, they are galvanized towards fascism class warfare is not like jenga, but rather a tug of war letting go of the rope is suicide

This is because liberals always prefer fascism to even moderate socialism. They can thrive under fascism. They agree with much of it. They cannot, though, abide any politics which doesn't let them be part of a mechanism of exploitation.

Macron is concentrating his attacks on the left, drawing on far-right language, to try to ensure that the 2nd round run-off is between his people and the far right. Utterly unprincipled and playing with fire

WHAT WAS JOE BIDEN & THE DEMOCRATS' RESPONSE BOBBY!?! WHY HAS JOE BIDEN CONTINUED TO FAIL ON INFLATION & THE ONGOING COVID PANDEMIC!?! Why didn't Joe Biden repeal the Bush/Trump/Republican tax cuts, first day in office? Oh right, the Democrats are fine with corporations siphoning money from you..

Corporate profits drove more than half of recent US inflation. What's the GOP’s response? They don't just want to extend Trump's tax cuts for the rich, they want lower corporate taxes too. They're fine with corporations siphoning money from you and keeping more of the spoils.

We will look back at this as genocidal.

This AP tweet is an instant candidate for the Museum of American Fascism. Carve it in stone and put it over the entrance. It should be an enduring source of burning shame and embarrassment for the entire organization, as well as a warning to other media

Republicans reject anyone's right to observe a reality that they do not dictate. This is what modern fascism looks like.

That’s the thing about fascism. It sucks for pretty much everybody. It is definitely worse for some groups more than others, but no one’s life is ultimately made better by it, even the ones who start off thinking it’s gonna be great.

In our time of fascism & the collapse of America's structure, social media has become vital as a modern iteration of the long held practice of mutual aid, so that we can support one another & survive difficult conditions.

My first thought on hearing about the proposed TikTok ban is that a lot of folks still think of social media platforms as unnecessary fluff, failing to recognize how absolutely essential it is for a great number of people.

The mask bans are a manifestation of our country’s rapid advance into fascism.

I am so pissed about the mask bans and how the movement is gaining momentum! 🤬 People have a hard enough time going into public masked, this will just make masking more difficult even if it doesn’t go through. I want to be able to protect myself and my family safely. My mask doesn’t affect you!

They're very often the same people anyway. The number of fascists who've been busted for kiddie porn or grooming or abuse... At this point we should probably just declare neo-fascism the political wing of paedophilia.

Pedos are like Nazis, if you let them stay "because they aren't harming anyone" eventually they'll bring their friends, who'll bring their friends, until you have a pedo place because everyone else noticed you weren't kicking out the pedophilies.

Neoliberalism will not stop fascism. It's what makes the rise of fascism possible. When you elect neoliberals, you make it a near certainty that fascists will eventually come to power.

affluent brunchlords believe fascism is an acceptable price to pay for a several percentage point reduction in the corporate tax rate and a freeze on antitrust inquiries

Marc Bloch is an example for all of humanity, but to historians, and medieval historians especially. May we all show this courage in the face of the latest rise of fascism, and stop it before it comes to this.

Today's the anniversary of the Nazis executing Marc Bloch. Or, someone who could sit with uncertainty, champion inquiry & trying to understand, and recognise plurality & perplexity. And, in that knowledge, made the choice not to remain passive. Bloch, Historian’s Craft (MUP, 1992), pp. 64, 119, 160.

This is fascism

This kind of argument about schools is a classic sign of authoritarianism. It’s the opposite of how officials who value individual rights and free society should speak about education.

Money is definitely a source of power. Also: knowledge, capacity for violence, charisma and different kinds of social capital. I think that all the things the ring does are a reflection of all the different ways the slide into fascism works.

There isn't going to be a Cool Kids section in the concentration camps, so maybe don't worry so much about whether or not something is "cringe" when fascism is breathing down all our necks. P.S. P.S. If you're openly worrying about what is or isn't "cringe," you're already a dork so let it go.
