Julie Goldberg (julie@social.coop)'s status on Thursday, 18-Jan-2024 22:42:14 JST Julie Goldberg We have a significant percentage of white people who still believe that democracy is only for them, that everyone else deserves to live under the violent control of the state.
I always think people need more information and better tools for discerning the truth, but anyone who believes in democracy for themselves and fascism for others will believe/pretend to believe any nonsense that props up their belief.Pleroma-tan likes this.
