   Dawg, I started telling everyone around me, and reaching across the interwebs to tell total strangers, that these folks were absolutely real fascists, and absolutely meant to do mass murders eventually precisely because I was afraid we'd get here.

   I dunno how this story ends, but I do know that y'all shoulda listened to me 10 years ago because we coulda chased these fucks out of public life mostly bloodlessly.

   The longer you wait, the higher the body count ends up being.

     You are never going to remove all the fascists. You cannot actually kill the fascist ideology through reason and argument because it's not based on reason and argument as you would understand it.

     What you CAN do, is make fascists so afraid that they stay in their basements having sekret Klan meetings and sharing letters in Soldier of Fortune magazine.

     We have failed that part. And this is what happens when you let it take root in your society. You're still having dinner with nazis.

     I really do not WANT to believe that the right are perennial, that the best we can every do is bully them into pretending to believe in democracy and equality.

     But the evidence of these recent years is that this is largely true.

     @AnarchoNinaWrites I’m baffled by people who insist that it’s better to have the fascists out in the open.

     If I’m talking to someone and they have fashy beliefs but I don’t know about it because they are too scared of being ostracized or kicked in the nuts to express or act on those fashy beliefs, that’s great! I can go through my life unbothered and unaffected by that person’s fashy beliefs.

     @MisuseCase I'm 46 years old; I have clear living memories of a time when it was okay to advocate for beating up nazis and chasing them out of your communities.

     The fact that I no LONGER live in that time, tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about why this society is heading for the cliff at high speed.
