Colossus explains how fascism rises with jokes, that you start off seeing someone with a noisy kid and joke “people should have to pass a teat before they can breed” and then after a series of tragedies they implement those tests, and slowly but surely the people who aren’t allowed to breed gets bigger and bigger and you think you’re working for the greater good, and you can’t fathom the life of anyone who’s not exactly like you, and suddenly you’re part of that group. Because the truth is human hate can adapt to anything and it Will manufacture reasons after the fact and only then will you realise the power you helped strip away. Jokes make ugly truths more palatable, so be careful
