Kameron Hurley: Lot of folks take this as "doom and gloom." Not at all! Just a reminder to pace yourself. Everybody goes into a war thinking "it'll be over by Xmas." I was literally killing myself. You're in a long game. Hydrate. These regimes eventually eat themselves. But you have to stay alive to see it thru.

I told somebody back in 2016 it would be about 30 years before we unfucked this fever, because that's about the historical length of time that fascist fever runs. Sorry! This knowledge is a curse!

Frankly keeping myself alive rn is my greatest act of resistance. Because let me tell you, lot of capitalist (let alone fascist) forces working against me on that.

Sometimes people die from fevers.

Y'know, that actually gave me the first hopeful feeling in this latest round of doomscrolling. Thanks for that.

It won't last forever!! History is clear on how these end. The key is surviving it.

That's what I tell my kids Even WWII - with 50 million dead - only lasted 6 years, and /most/ people survived (even 'in theatre'). (So do your homework - because there IS a future and you want to be part of it).

but we are getting our passports. Canada is too close to the shitshow

My one big hope is that, like everything else, history is going to be faster this time around. A big advantage the U.S. has is that while a huge percentage of white youths are trending fascist, they are in the minority in their generation. Unlike the EU, our kids aren’t turning hard right.
