it feels like the whiteness of big political media spaces right now is having a big effect on how people are thinking about the debate. eg I have seen relatively little discussion of trump's "black jobs" comment, which immediately exploded on black twitter
Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded
I'm not in favor of it, and I believe that everything that can be done to avoid it should be done, but I also fear that it's too late. I genuinely don't see a path to overcoming rising fascism all over the world that doesn't lead to rivers of blood. It keeps me up at night.
We have a crop of leftists who are happy to let fascists take charge, because they don't know history. They think fascist oppression will give them a chance to seize power.
Those people are basically insignificant, even if they're loud and annoying online. The fascists themselves are who you need to focus on. I'm only aware of one method that's ever proven effective at stopping them once they gain power, hence my trouble sleeping (e.g. LITERALLY RIGHT NOW).
