As a white person, I think “compromising” with White Supremacist Christian Nationalists to deprive POC of their Constitutional rights is great for the “unity” of the nation. This is the way to preserve the “peace”. It has worked for centuries, no need to change now. /s 🙄 (/s means end-sarcasm)

I know it’s satire, but my undergrad is political science. I’ve been called an alarmist since 2015. Fascism was rising then. Fascism is here now! Will people wait until they’re rounded up to say fascism is fascism? Stop waiting for more violence or some other arbitrary thing. It’s here, now. Fight.

A lot of the same people would likely call you an alarmist now. These things happen incrementally. 1. *Batshit crazy thing happens* 2. "That's batshit" 3. "Why are you being an alarmist about a nothingburger?" 4. [The baseline for what is acceptable is readjusted] 5. Repeat

Please consider reading this article & share wildly. The Guardian’s End Times Fascism lays bare the truth: this isn’t politics—it’s planetary betrayal. “The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

Well sure, they've managed to offend just about everyone imaginable, put national security at unprecedented risk, tank a once strong economy, and create the largest dysfunctional government we never thought possible. But at least our showerheads can flow freely. #facepalm

“Further, I reassure you I’m not just saying this because I have gotten veiled threatening notes alluding to where my children go to school, the usual path I take walking my chihuahua, the place I work…”

Is that because people rise up and prevent it getting worse? Or are we relying on the compassion and decency of the officials deciding "I think we've gone far enough"? I'm not witnessing a lot of compassion and decency from the overlords right now.

Please consider reading & sharing. The Guardian's "End Times Fascism" reveals how far-right elites, from Trump to Musk, embrace survivalist authoritarianism—privatizing escape, eroding democracy, and making peace with mass death. Only solidarity and collective resilience can defy their treason.

→ Relax academia, the Reich apparently stops at paperwork. meanwhile border wide open, cartels get free entry. Citizenships optional, taxes mandatory. If that’s fascism peters out, guess we’ve been in Weimar with Netflix for decades
