   Periodic reminder: nazis are louder, but there are way more good people than bad people. We win in the end.

     @misc @mekkaokereke @georgeeyong That said, it's also no less important important to be mindful of just how fast fascists move on their murderous impulses when they do end up in power:

     Hitler was sworn in as Chancellor in January 30, 1933, and the first SS concentration camp (Dachau, outside Munich) was operational by the end of March, 1933.

     Do not take chances with these people, they WILL kill you if you give them even half an opportunity to get away with it.

     @misc @mekkaokereke @georgeeyong The _most_ support any fascist politician has ever gotten in a free and fair election is something like 34%. Fascism is ultimately an unpopular organizing principle, and requires violence and intimidation to usurp power.

     As violence is integral to the fascist calculus, they _do_ respect strength in numbers, but if you have numbers and refuse to be intimidated, their ability to project force is greatly diminished.

     Deep down, most of them are just bullies.

     GreenSkyOverMe (Monika) repeated this.

     @mekkaokereke @georgeeyong God I hope you’re right. And that “the end” you’re talking about comes some time before my own.
