Financially backed by the billionaires of late-stage capitalism, one political party is now openly seeking to preserve American white supremacy at all costs, while also recognizing that they will cease to exist if the U.S. continues to hold free and fair elections.

This must be treated like a contagion. This must be treated like a contagion. It’s a virus that has crept into the minds of many. Quarantine and eradicate; without this, the disease spreads.

It's zero-sum with the fascists. When lawless regimes seize the levers of power, these regimes don't allow themselves to be voted out. Instead, they challenge you to take it back from them. This is why the unfortunate solution.....has always been political violence. It's all they will accept.

My Reddit account just received a perma-ban. A legit one. On a post that encouraged U.S. Americans to "lean into" the Constitution to combat fascism, I begged for clarity before saying that the only way lawless regimes that have successfully seized power are defeated is through political violence.

I say 'legit' because it did indeed violate the Reddit ToS. I'm right, though. One political party is quite aware that the days of white hegemony are over and that they will politically disappear under free and fair elections. Historically, this isn't a thing that allows itself to be voted out.

The problem is, the solution in need of consideration is the same one that is universally forbidden across social media. Why? Why can't we speak about the one action that carries with it the greatest chance that we emerge as a society on the other side? Roll up your sleeves, hoist the black flag.

How can I explain love? I look at you and you are so beautiful that I can't understand it for anything other than this... ...you are a paradise bird resting with me for a moment, catching your breath before you continue towards destiny. How can I possibly be the reason why you're here?

Here's a banger. The biggest problem we have in America are it's white straight men. It is the root of so much of the rot we see: social injustice, sexual violence, human trafficking rooted in nativism, women's rights stripped. I am a straight, white American male speaking directly to others.

Imagine that you are so corrupt of being, that your only hope is the certainty you have that you'll catch your opponent in the same type of malfeasance that you engage, because you can't fathom others would base their public service in ethical behavior and a moral obligation to fellow Americans.

1/ One positive thing I think that’s important to stop and appreciate: They were only going to bleed support; everyone who wanted to be on board, they bought the ticket and have been taking the ride. Every choice they make now is masks off — items like the firing squad just further alienate them.

As their thrill of the perverse nature of their governance continues to be exposed, individual Americans will continue learning about themselves in real time: learning they don’t have the stomach for firing squads, for innocent people killed in the streets, for all social safety nets being cut down.

My humanity and compassion is rooted in the paradox of tolerance. It's zero sum with the fascists and we betray ourselves when we offer quarter in the face of our own destruction.

You are up to date.
